is there a way to do this? The reason I ask is I want to remove particular creatures I don't like from the Skyrim Monster Mod, and I can't view them in the CK (either placing them in the world or using the preview feature, all I see is an exclamation marker)

Cheers

If you go to the object list, there is a column called "form id". Click on the name of the column to sort the list by form id, then everything starting with "01" is something added by the mod that is loaded

- Hypno

Besides what hypno88 says, If the mod uses a esp and a esm, the objects added by the esp will start by "02".

Also, if you're getting the !red!, then you're missing the proper meshes (or the NIFs have errors in them and/or are incompatible with Skyrim).. reinstall the mod with all its assets and you should be able to view them.

unpack the bsa

Sorry, I think you guys misunderstand me. My fault for using the term 'reference' possibly incorrectly

I want to be able to tell which new Falmer in game corresponds to which one in the CK for instance. So, I mean like, if I hit ~ in-game and select a new Falmer, 0005f62c. How do I identify which new Falmer this is in the mod in the CK, so I might remove it from levelled lists?


This is what I figured, something to do with BSAs. If what SluckyD said was correct, I'd expect the asset not to load in-game either, right?

Someone was working on this Monster-Mod the other week - There a post on here, somewhere

He was looking at how users might be able to select which Monsters they wanted

... might be worth hunting for that thread?

I'm aware of that mod, in fact I used a version of his original modifed to my own tastes. I want to modify it further but also want an easy way to tell which creatures are which. Suppose I could just make a testing chamber with them and do it that way but really, there must be a 'proper' way?

Well, it's the Falmer with the FormID 0005f62c (which would be a vanilla Falmer actually). You can filter by FormID in the Object window. Maybe I'm not understanding your problem?
