dry yarrow it needs to be dlc02

I'm confused, how is that. Smithbox shows dlc2 is empty...

show screenshot of smithbox

#

so I'm sure what you're looking at

#

smithbox already selects the dlc2 file container by default

#

the "DLC 2" section in the bottom left is a text category, that's something else

#

cause the dlc2 container file still has base, dlc1 and dlc2 categories

#

so yeah, that may be why saving with smithbox works but not doing it manually, if you unpacked/repacked the wrong file

Oh, ok, that's confusing for the beginner, so in order to edit text in the base game and DLC in need to use 3rd and 6th files am I right? Can I just delete first and dlc01 files, will mod run without them?

dry yarrow Jun 6, 2025, 10:50 AM

#

yes, only the dlc02 files are used

#

the others can be deleted

And one more question. If I wanna edit outside of Smithbox and work with .xml I should repack it manually with WitchyBND, Smithbox only can import .json format?

#

Thanks for help!

dry yarrow Jun 6, 2025, 10:55 AM

#

yes

#

smithbox can only import text that was exported with smithbox
