trying to use the EVE energy weapon port and Eve Companion. both use esms called "EVE". renaming doesn't work. any advice? thanks

I'm sure they use the same .esm, the author is most likely uploading the same master with both downloads to insure if someone chooses one over the other they get the files they need. Try using the newest .esm (If there is a difference in creation date.)

should work just fine.

Huh?, I think you've got a couple of mods confused here :cryvaultboy:

One mod is a Companion Mod with a companion called EVE, the Other Mod is one that Adds Cool Effects to Energy Weapons.....
He's saying that two completely different mods are using the same name for their esm file.

Oh! didn't know, I just assumed they were by the same author building optional files.

In that case it sounds like he's out of luck.

sorry for my confusion, just trying to be helpful and, not up to date on every mod out there. Ben spending my time working on my own project.

How exactly? Are you unable to rename the plugin file?

A mod's file name is completely arbitrary, there should be no problem changing it to whatever you like (if it has a BSA and or voice sounds files You just need to rename those too).

If the mod have both an ESM and an ESP then you also have to change the ESP's master file.
I believe you can do this with "Wrye Flash."

Right. You can use FNVEdit for that too.
