So basically look at the top post . I am following the STEP guide and having enormous problems cleaning the ESMs in the steps they are telling me to . I am at part 2 b first case step 12 ESM has been cleaned for update . esm through all the steps they provided . I backed up update . esm in a backup folder . I then went through the steps of cleaning . I pressed x and went back to mod organizer . overwrite is not turning red . Even after dragging update . esm back to the data folder from the backup . To make matters more confusing , double clicking overwrite DOES show me the files that are supposed to be in there according to the guide , but if I actually follow the steps of the overwrite , it gives me a scary error flag about No game data . or not being associated with game data or whatnot , which is not mentioned in the STEP Guide . I assume I ' m doing somethi ngw rong because overwrite is not red . EditNM , I fixed it . I had to restart MO .
