* Both sites were written well before QAC was introduced & haven't been updated to reflect it.

* Both links are also outdated, so they should at least be updated if not replaced.

* Also added SSEEdit to the list of game-specific versions of xEdit mentioned.

<p>Dirty edits are often a side-effect of mod creation, and are often due to bugs in the utilities Bethesda has provided to create mods, rather than bad practice by mod authors. Dirty edits can cause a wide range of issues, including incorrect game settings, missing content, broken quests and crashing to desktop. The more dirty edits there are in a mod, and the more mods with dirty edits you use, the more likely you are to experience issues.</p>
<p>Thankfully there is a way to remove dirty edits from mods relatively easily, a process known as <em>mod cleaning</em>, using TES4Edit, FO3Edit, FNVEdit, TES5Edit or FO4Edit (for Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Skyrim and Fallout 4 respectively). Detailed instructions and information on mod cleaning are available for <a href="http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/TES4Edit_Cleaning_Guide">Oblivion</a> and <a href="http://www.creationkit.com/TES5Edit_Cleaning_Guide_-_TES5Edit">Skyrim</a>, with the process being largely the same for the others.</p>
<p>Thankfully there is a way to remove dirty edits from mods relatively easily, a process known as <em>mod cleaning</em>, using TES4Edit, FO3Edit, FNVEdit, TES5Edit, FO4Edit or SSEEdit (for Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Skyrim, Fallout 4 and Skyrim: Special Edition respectively). Detailed instructions and information on mod cleaning are available at xEdit's <a href="https://tes5edit.github.io/docs/7-mod-cleaning-and-error-checking.html">cleaning guide.</a></p>
<p>The problem of dirty edits is largely a problem of ignorance on the part of mod authors and users alike of the problems dirty mods can cause. As such, there are community efforts to raise awareness of dirty edits and cleaning. LOOT plays a key role in these efforts, as it holds the complete list of all known dirty mods (as does BOSS), and it uses this information to provide notification messages to users for any dirty mods they have installed.</p>
