| Need advices on how to safely modifying plug-ins |
|
Hi there,
The last attempt (also my first attempt) i try to modifying plug-ins (Abandoned Flat v.2) caused my character trapped inside the house and weird errors occured. I simply add some bookshelves, delete certain items i found useless or obstructive, and saved the changes i made, but then when i walked to other rooms (also other doors) & turn around, the door i just enter disappeared, so i can't get out. I'm sure i didn't delete them when making the changes.
I really like to able to edit house mods according to my own preferences, so what precautions i should take when make modifications?.

The best way to prevent from strange things to happen is Never to change a plug-in you have in a saved game that you return to.
However if you really need to change the plug-in, don't make a save in the location of the plug-in like in a house before you start changing it.
 Try this. Make a special save, Not Quicksave and uncheck the plug-in, exit Morrowind and start CS. Edit your plug-in, start the Morrowind Launcher and check your plug-in to be loaded and start Morrowind. I hope but doesn't guaranty that the items you have stored in a house plug-in will still be there. That's why you make a special save.
Test it and see how/if it works and post a note here about it.
I hope this helps you.

Well, i don't use that plug-in anymore. However, thanks for the infos, now i know what had gone wrong with the editing. I edit it in my save game...or simply done all the things that you said not to! 
BTW Beardo, i like you Caldera Zelda Estate plug-in. I had checked it up: IMO very good in accessibility (not too big with multiple floors, thus easy to access to storage room, display area, alchemy desk, etc). Anyway do you plan to add mannequins in new version, or what other things would be added in it?, and when it will be release?

Funny you should mention it. I'm just about to finish an expansion, an add-on to Zelda Estate with a little armory area with more storage and a smith and his wife, both will sell you things, and, as you requested mannequins 
I'll try to get it uploaded to e few sites today or tomorrow

Got it couple days ago and hauled all my junks to Zelda estate . Nice basement design  , i use the hallway (before reach the display/mannequins room) to put some more mannequins to display my collected armors.
I wonder why there is "meshes\fwrpot3.NIF" error (can't find the file) message when i enter the basement?. Anyway i overcome that problem when i insert a renamed NIF files (from other NIF file).
Excellent works. I'm waiting new add-on for other two empty rooms, what they for? training room, bar ?...
