I'm looking for some quick help figuring out how to do something in xEdit/TES4Edit.

I'm trying to make a personal patch to for Av Latta Magicka to change the names of the spells so the spell names have sort prefixes aligned to the sorting scheme in Less Annoying Magic Experience.

I figured this would be a quick and easy fix. But copying the spells As Override results in the spells being removed from my spellbook and having their other effects and stats removed.

What am I doing wrong? I know I could just directly edit Av Latta Magicka's .esm but I'd like to have my changes be applied as an .esp

#

Hmm.... It seems to problem is spells are failing to be copied from the ALM .esm

Basically make a copy of all the spells from ALM to your patch esp. Then only rename the spells instead of complete overwrite that you did(as far as ive understood)

#

Or do how i did, make a new "mod" in your mod manager amd copy the ALM esp/esm and make it overwrite the original, then deploy and then do the xedit shenanigans

#

Unless you got something that patches them and your overwriting overrides the changes made by the patches

Yeah that's what I was doing. For some reason I'm getting an "assertion failure" error when I try to copy it and it's unable to copy the spells stats and effects.

Ive never had that issue 🤔 havent really done much with spells apart from few of my own creations for the lols, so i dont feel like im the most qualified to help in a sense

I'm going to see if I can I do it in the CS. If not I might just have to directly edit the ALM .esm, but then I can't release it for others.
