I tried making a transfer mod that would take the data from the mod store it then implant it later. Since they were both .esp though, I couldn't get the transfer mod to save the references to the main mod. It would appear to save, but after reloading it the properties would always empty out.
I'm unfamiliar with making .esm mods, but would making the main mod a .esm work? Also is this the only way? I believe the conversion will require a clean save wiping tons of stored data. Which I'm trying to avoid in the first place. So I'm hesitant to try this without getting some advise first.
Thanks in advance
