User blog comment:Saratje/IMPORTANT : Warning to MOD (modificaton) making + Dawnguard./@comment-4787430-20120807172942/@comment-4787430-20120807222745

I don't mod in any serious way, so I didn't know about renaming the texture paths to different names, but that does make sense. It wasn't what I had in mind though, so I would think I'm safe in that regard. The kind of mod I was making to an armor piece was making a copy of Royal Vampire Armor and adding my own custom made enchantments. So, I hadn't made any modification to the meshes. By doing this, it did require the Dawnguard.esm to be active in order to use it. When I had Dawnguard.esm unchecked, it simply crashed my game. Haha, not sure if that was supposed to happen though. But anyways, I do see the serious matter in what you have written about.
