A Beginners guide to backporting Mods from Skyrim SSE/AE to LE

Again i repeat do not repost any mods you backport to the LE nexus or anywhere on the internet without the original author's consent and permission!

For some reason, the links won't work here in the description so there in the comments now

youtube is being dumb and i cant post links in the description so hopefully they show up here

For anyone who's trying to backport mods with master dependencies, if the dependency has an equivalent version in LE, you can change the master dependency to the LE mod and do automated cleanup:
Get Wyre Bash and run it.
Select your desired ESP and go to the masters field.
If the masters field is too small, you can expand the window to see names of the masters.
Right click the SSE master and select “Change to…”
If that option is greyed out (which it likely is), right click the column header in the masters field and allow editing.
Select your desired LE master (ie. USSEP –> USLEEP)
Click the save button underneath the masters field.
Open up TESV Edit and check for errors.
Hopefully you have 0 errors and you're good to go. However, more likely, you'll have to resolve conflicts.

I did this with a new SE tree mod and it had 400+ errors, 99% of them were XCWT - Water edits that did literally nothing and just had to be removed. However, there's a little unknown xEdit script called Easy ESP backport script that fixes any esp backport problems.

My trees work perfectly in LE now, thx for this video in getting me started!
