Everything you see under your plugin in xEdit is an edit. Your plugin may add cells, worldspaces, references, forms, and so on. It can also modify any of these things. Good practice generally for creating a plugin is to avoid editing anything from vanilla Skyrim. If you need a container to contain a certain item and no vanilla chest has it, make a new container record. (This can be done quite easily by duplicating an existing chest and modifying the contents.) This is not always the case of course, if you're making a house, that house needs to go somewhere, so you'll need to edit Tamriel (the Skyrim worldspace) to place it. You could make a new worldspace, but the player will need a way to get there too, so you'll need to add a boat or portal of some kind to Tamriel or another cell. Any edits that are unintentional or unnecessary should be cleaned from your plugin. | Everything you see under your plugin in xEdit is an edit.

Here is a dummy plugin made for the purposes of this tutorial. As you can see, there are many edits. Some of these edits are intentional, but some of them are not. How can you tell the difference? Ultimately, only you know what you intended to change, but xEdit has features to help. My plugin creates a small farmhouse, which has an interior cell (aaaBSTestCell) and an exterior that it's linked to. I also created a custom knapsack with specific items to go in my house. | Here is a dummy plugin made for the purposes of this tutorial. As you can see, there are many edits.
