The save has been made just outside Helgen Keep, right after having finished the Quest: Unbound. Surely by now we're all sick of asking about, hearing about, and answering questions relating to clean saves and the testing of mods. "Did you test with the latest Clean Save Resource?" I also have hopes that this kind of thing can become a standard when troubleshooting.

It saves you having to go through the tedium of the starting sequence (or a clean install of Skyrim) if you haven't got access to a save like this already. I think a lot of people could benefit from this. If you are having problems and tell people that you are testing with a certified clean save we are one step closer to a potential resolution.

A lot of things get initialised when going through the new game sequence, it is important to test mods in the environment to which they will be applied (how many people started their actual playthrough by teleporting from the main menu?). Teleporting from the Main Menu is a popular method, but it should not be relied upon for serious testing. It ensures no remnant or persistent data is distorting your results, giving you feedback that is accurate. Unlike previous Bethesda games (recent Fallout's, Oblivion) a clean save can't simply be made by uninstalling mods and then making a fresh save. It is for this reason it becomes an ideal (necessary) testing environment when troubleshooting mods.


It is clean because it has not been "dirtied" by, or exposed to any information and/or data from any mod(s). It is usually referred to in a troubleshooting environment it is a save that has never seen a mod(s) before.
