Package Context MenuCommandDescriptionFile.Open.Opens the selected package(s) in the file system.Rename.Renames the selected package(s) or marker(s). All selected items must be of the same type. For archives the extension will remain the same.Duplicate.Makes a duplicate of the selected package(s).Hide.Hides the package in the list, and moves it to theGame Mods/Bash Mod Data/Hidden folder.DeleteDeletes the selected package(s). Deleted packages arenot sent to the Recycling Bin, they are permanently deleted.Open atGoogle.Attempts to perform a Google search for the selected package's name.TES Nexus.Attempts to open the selected package's page on TES Nexus.

This command assumes that the trailing digits in a package's name is the package ID at the site.TES Alliance.Attempts to open the selected package's page on TES Alliance.

This command assumes that the trailing digits in a package's name is the package ID at the site.AnnealInstalls missing files and corrects install order errors. Note: If an already installed file is changed outside of Wrye Bash control, Wrye Bash will not anneal that file. Anneal is relative to other installed packages. This is because we do not want to override user changes like cleaning plugins and the like. If you do want to override the change useinstead.

Note2: The change will be detected immediately in case of ini tweaks, mods or bsas, but on next Bash load for other files (like nifs etc). To detect the change without restartingthe package.InstallFully installs the package except for files that would be overridden by later packages.Wizard Installer.Manual WizardRuns the Wizard for the package, if it has one.Auto WizardRuns the Wizard for the package, if it has one, selecting the default options.View Wizard.Opens the wizard.txt for viewing.Install Missing FilesThe same as Install, except that it only installs missing files – i.e. It will not override any currently existing files.UninstallUninstalls the package. If Auto-Anneal is active (the default) then files from earlier packages that were previously overridden will be installed as required.Quick RefreshRefreshes all info for the selected package(s), also checking the files that correspond to this package inside the Data directory. It will bypass skip refresh flags on projects (see case A below). BAIN does refresh package information whenever the installer's tab regains focus, except for projects if project skipping is on, but does not scan the Data folder but once on boot. So this command is useful if:.

aproject has been changed and it hasselected, or theoption is disabled. files that correspond to a package/project have changed in the game's Data directory, but the package is still marked in sync (or out of sync) erroneouslyCase B) is relevant cause now Bash will recheck the files in Data that would belong to the packages that are being refreshed.

This was not the case in 306, where you needed a full, which is now pretty much deprecated.Export ACHListThis exports a file list of the files configured to be installed by this installer (except top level files and docs installed in Data/Docs folder). This list is used when the CK asks for a list of files to make new BSA files, for use when uploading to Bethesda.net. It will generate ainstaller-name.achlist file inside the Mod Info Exports directory in the game (exe) folder. Mod Info Exports will be created if it doesn't exist. If an achlist with the same name exists it will be overwritten. Import the ACHList Bash generated and it will then package your files into the proper archives for upload.

Available only for Skyrim: Special Edition & Fallout 4.Package.Open ReadmeIf BAIN detects a readme in the selected package, it will be opened.Move To.Moves the selected package(s) to the specified position.RefreshAsbelow. Refresh will however recalculate theCRCs for all selected itemsfrom scratch, which is not what you usually need (for projects especially it will take much longer than for packages, cause to calculate the CRC of a projectall the individual CRCs ofall the files in the project folder must be recalculated). Bash will of course recalculate CRCs for files that have their dates/sizes changedanyway, so forcing CRC recalculation with Refresh is only needed if you changed the contents of a file inside a projectwithout changing its modification timeand its size - that's super rare, you most probably just need Quick Refresh below.List Structure.Generates a list of the files and directories in a package. Useful for posting package structure on forums, eg. When troubleshooting an install.Pack to Archive.Projects only. Packs the project to an archive. It defaults to.7z, but also supports.zip.Package For Release.Projects only.

Just like 'Pack to Archive' except it doesn't archive the following: thumbs.db, desktop.ini, and any folder that begins with '-'.Sync From DataProjects only. Synchronize the project with files from the Data directory. This is essentially the reverse of 'Install' for projects since it copies from the Data directory to the project rather than the other way around.Unpack To Project(s).Archives only. Unpack the archive to a project.Copy Conflicts to ProjectCopies all files that conflict with the selected package into a new project.

Conflicts with inactive installers and lower order packages are included as ifandoptions were selected. Useful for comparing conflicting resources.Install LastMoves the package to the end of the order list and installs it.BAIN ConversionsCreate.Archives only. Creates a new Bain Conversion File.Apply→BCFBCF is the name of a Bain Conversion File listed in the Apply submenu. Selecting a BCF applies it to the selected package.Has Extra DirectoriesBAIN only recognises a limited set of subdirectories of the Data folder (the), and skips any unrecognised subdirectories.

Checking this option will cause BAIN to install unrecognised subdirectories (Unless the files within are on the list of files which are always skipped such as.exe files, see)NB: extra directories will not be taken into account at all when calculating package structure. There must be at least some standard game directory or a data file (plugin, bsa/ba2, ini) in the package for BAIN to recognise its structure.Override SkipsIf this is checked, Bain will not skip over files that would normally be skipped due to a.Skip VoicesIf this is checked, Bain will skip over any voice files in the package. This is useful if the voice files are empty and/or the user prefers not to use them. If this option is used, then the user should also use Elys'extension to prevent dialog subtitles from fading too rapidly.Don't RefreshWhen refreshing installers (when switching out and in the installers tab), thisproject won't be scanned for changes. The project will only get refreshed during the first refresh of BAIN on a restart, or by manually refreshing (seeand co)Omod Info.Projects only.

Item DescriptionFile Name The filename of the selected plugin. Note that changing this does not change the filename in the Masters Lists of any dependent plugins.Modification Time This field is editable, by clicking in the box. After changes are made, click the Save button to commityour changes to the plugin, or Cancel to discard them. Notes: For Oblivion, this affects the load order of the selected plugin.For Skyrim, it has no effect, except that if it is changed for a plugin obtained from Steam Workshop, it will cause the pluginto be redownloaded as Steam Workshop uses modification time to detect file versions. For Skyrim: Special Edition, there was a bugat some point, with DLC Load Order being set by Date / Time Stamp (only the DLCs were affected by this). The only way tore-arrange your Skyrim: Special Edition DLC plugins Load Order was to edit their modification time, so that they follow each other by forexample one minute.

The bug was fixed in a later patch - but anyway Bash won't let you change neither the load order nor themodification times of the DLCs. The game always loads them before other masters and in the following order:Dawnguard / Hearthfire / Dragonborn. Column Header Context MenuCommand DescriptionLoad OrderActivate AllActivates all the plugins in the mod list. If more than 255 mods arepresent Bash will activate all it can from the bashed patches, then non mergeable and then mergeable mods then will display anerror message. Bash will try to activate mods in their load order.De-activate All Deactivates all the plugins in the mod list.

Some plugins will not be deactivated (for instance Fallout 4DLCs) as the game force loads them when present.Activate Selected Activate only the mods selected in the mod list interface - warning: their masters won't be activated!Save Active Mods List Saves the currently active mods to a new list.Edit Active Mods Lists. Allows the deletion and renaming of active mods lists.Active Mods List Active Mods List items are listed below the separator in the Active Mods submenu. Clicking alist name will apply the list, trying to activate exactly the plugins that are listed in it.Sort By This submenu allows you to choose by which column the plugin list is sorted. This is equivalent to clicking on a column header. You can also choose to sort by Type, which will place.esms before.esps regardless of the sorting criteria, or by Selection, which places selected plugins before unselected plugins regardless of criteria.Oblivion.esm Oblivion only. This submenu relates to.Columns This submenu allows you to choose which columns are visible in the mod list.File New Bashed Patch. Creates a new Bashed Patch plugin.

Useful if you accidentally delete your current one or wish to have more than one.New Mod. Creates an empty plugin.New Mod (masterless). Creates an empty plugin with no masters.Open. Opens the Data folder in Windows Explorer.Unhide.

Opens a dialogue window allowing you to select which hidden plugins to unhide.List Mods This outputs a BBCode-formatted load order, including version information, activation status and major load order errors. It can be useful for debugging a broken load order.

If the 'c' keyboard key is pressed when this command is selected, the CRCs of plugins will also be displayed in the output.List Bash Tags This outputs a BBCode-formatted list of all the Bash Tags applied to the plugins in your load order, and where/how the Bash Tags were specified. It can be useful for debugging a broken load order.Auto-Ghost The game engine has a bug where it reads all the plugins in the Data folder, and this can affect performance when the number of plugins is around 300+. Auto-Ghosting adds a.ghost extension to all inactive plugins automatically to prevent the game engine reading them, and so helping to avoid the performance drop. When a ghosted plugin is activated, the.ghost extension is removed, allowing it to function as normal. Note that other utilities will not recognise ghosted plugins, so there are options available for individual plugins to control which get ghosted.Lock Load OrderThis prevents other utilities from altering the plugin load order.More accurately, it detects changes to the load order (modification times for earlier games, text files for later ones)when Wrye Bash starts or is focused (ie. On top of all other program windows) and reverses those changes.Debug Mode Activates debug output. Only a few commands will display any debug output, but it may be useful for troubleshooting.Remove Dummy Masters.

Removes all dummy master files created using on a plugin.Check mods against LOOT's dirty mod list LOOT's masterlist contains information on dirty plugins that can beused by Wrye Bash to highlight these plugins in the mod list. Checking this setting tells Wrye Bash to use this information ifbundled version of LOOT is functional for this game. Note that the detection is based on user's LOOT install masterlists, ifthose are compatible with bundled LOOT, otherwise Bash falls back to the taglists it comes with.Recalculate CRCs Clean stale CRCs from cache. Workaround for buggy CRC updates in previousversions of Bash. Use for instance when plugins show as mismatched in BAIN when they are not.

Plugin Context MenuCommand DescriptionFileCreate Dummy Masters.Creates an empty plugin for each missing master a mod has.This is useful for allowing TES4Edit to open a 'Filter' patch without having all of the required masters. These dummyplugins can later be removed using the command.BackupCreates a backup of the selected plugin in Game ModsBash Mod DataBackups.On first run, the backed-up plugin has f appended to its file extension, giving e.g.espf.Duplicate.Creates a duplicate of the selected plugin in the Data folder.Snapshot.Creates a snapshot copy of the selected plugin in BashSnapshots.Snapshot filenames are appended with -n where n is a number between 01 and 99. The first snapshot ofPlugin.esp is Plugin-01.esp. The number is incremented each time the plugin has a snapshottaken. Additionally, if there is a version line in the plugin's description field, then the snapshot number will beappended to the version number in the same manner.DeletePermanently deletes the selected plugin, and any backups of it, but not snapshots.HideMoves the selected plugin to the Game Mods/Bash Mod Data/Hidden subdirectory.

If the plugin's authoris defined and there is a Bash Mod Data/Hidden subdirectory of the same name, the plugin will be placed there. If not and theplugin's group is defined and there is a Bash Mod Data/Hidden subdirectory of the same name, the plugin will be placed thereinstead. Otherwise it will be placed inside Bash Mod Data/Hidden.Redate.Change the modification time of the selected plugin.

I'm unsure about what Wrye Bash can do that Mod Organizer can't. I see that in the past, Wrye Bash was probably a helpful and necessary too. But, is it really still needed?

I'm modding oblivion with a combination of Mod Organizer and OBMM but all the mods that nexus claims or recommends to install with Wrye seem to install fine with Mod Organizer. A good example is the Sounds of Cryodiil mod.

When installed using MO it shows up as fine when looking at the files before completing installation. Are example like this a 'false positive' and I still need to install using Wrye Bash? A bashed patched is optimal when modding as it helps provide maximum compatibility with your mods. A bashed patch safely merges all the mods that modify the leveled lists, so all changes to the leveled lists show up in the game and work together.You can wait to make a bashed patch as a last step, after you finish installing your mods. It is very easy to make one.A bashed patch needs to be made after you initially install all your mods or before you play the game and every time you install a new mod and/or re-sort your load order as a result of installing a new mod.

In the case of Mod Organizer, would I need to make a new patch every time I activate/deactive already installed mods or make a patch for each profile? In my not so limited experience with bash, be very wary with bashed patches. Bash is not a NASA sponsored AI program, it tries to merge records according to some formal rules and it often gets it wrong. The less you merge and the more you resolve conflicts via load order, the better. Is it really a good idea to merge npc faces?

Does it even make sense?Always check your patch for errors with TesEdit and if TesEdit complains about illegal records, take that serious. In one case bash assigned a 2g hair length to a npc which unsurprisingly made the engine crash.indeed a bit hard to render xDYou dont need and you dont want to install mods with bash. If you.need. a bashed patch pretty much depends if you have mods that add items/creatures to leveled lists, mods like OOO/MMM/Frans certainly need a merged patch. Dont follow any step guide to the letter, use your brain to decide what you need and what you want to merge. I'd stay away from 'import cells' which might screw up nav meshes and -see above- import npc faces.And finally, trust the fcom pros at beth forums and use boss, not loot, to sort your LO. Loot support for oblivion is minimal to say the least.

I spend weeks to get a stable FCOM installation and I finally got a virtually crash free setup once I a) switched to boss and b) stripped down the bash options to a minimum. Originally posted by:You dont need and you dont want to install mods with bash. Ever.what is BAINwhile it is easier to just manually install, installing any non-specialized format mod with bash is no different to a plain old copy/paste overwrite; it's not ideal for fine-grained control, but hardly as end-of-the-world as you like to make it seem From what i'm aware of, BAIN is similar to things like fomods and omods, in that it is a packaged assembly tool for the mod you are installing. I've worked a little with them a year or more ago and I think I remember them having a prepackaged installer wizard with them.

They didn't seem to work with MO at the time but I'm sure that's because I wasn't doing a corect workaround of some sort (I have learnd a lot of my past errors on moding oblivion with MO this time around, seems most anything can be installed to it but only if you install it with a program run through MO). Wrye Bash is the best tool available for all Elder Scroll games. One of it's most valuable features is the bashed patch. Which when created allows the user to fine tune a lot of details of what goes in to it. The purpose of the bashed patch is to merge not only changes to the leveled lists, but to pretty much everything else. There's a clear logic behind it.

Since the program itself relies on the load order that is defined by the user. Using OBMM or LOOT helps deal with conflicts. Wrye Bash also includes BAIN installation method which is very useful for texture mods and BAIN also has its own install order which can be used to determine which files get overwritten or not.

It also has the feature of showing when there are conflicts on what files. Also BAIN has a feature that once you uninstall a mod that has files that overwrite the original ones, it returns the old files afterwards. Also, there are plenty of mods that support BAIN installation which usually means they come with the necessary installing wizard or the files are simply organized in the BAIN format.I'm pretty sure there are other things that I still haven't mentioned yet, but aren't as important.
