- If a plugin's masters are missing, an error message will be displayed for it. Filter patches are special mods designed for use with a Bashed Patch that do not require all their masters to be present, and so any plugin with the Filter tag applied and missing masters will not cause any errors to be displayed.

|---|---|
| Copy Name | Copies the selected plugin's filename to the clipboard. - |
| Copy Metadata As Text | Copies the selected plugin's current metadata, as it appears in the userlist, to the clipboard. This makes it easier to share your metadata changes with the LOOT team, as they can then paste this text directly into the masterlist, and also avoids any typos being introduced. If posting the text in an online forum that supports BBCode (as most forums do), be sure to wrap it in [code] tags, eg. [code]copied text[/code], so that the spaces are not removed by the forum software.

The games list allows the customisation of which games LOOT offers support for, trivialising support for multiple copies of a game and Total Conversions. The games listed here will be displayed in the main window's Game
menu when LOOT is next run. The Add Game
, Edit Game
and Remove Game
buttons are used to edit the list. Each game has several columns, which are explained below.

LOOT's game-specific settings can be customised in the games table. Settings can also be added for additional game instances, making it easy to use LOOT across multiple copies of a game, including total conversion mods. LOOT ships with settings for the Nehrim - At Fate's Edge
total conversion mod as an example.

The games instances defined in this table are displayed in LOOT's Game
menu, and can be selected there if detected. Game instance settings may be deleted by clicking the trash icon at the end of the game's row. The current game cannot have its settings deleted. If you delete the settings for one of LOOT's core four supported games (Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas), they will be recreated when LOOT is next run.
