With the current ESP-ESL-making workflow, the process is as follows:

  1. Make a plugin in either xEdit (starts as an ESP-ESL) or the Creation Kit (starts as an ESP)
    a. If you created the plugin in the CK, enter xEdit, compact Form IDs, and add the ESL flag
  2. Do some wizardry in the Creation Kit
  3. In xEdit, renumber FormIDs from 800 (to keep everything within the valid range)
  4. Make sure everything is right in xEdit
  5. Test & Probably Repeat

That's a lot of steps—6 if you create the plugin in the CK, which I do quite frequently. If you could add proper support for ESL FormIDs in the Creation Kit (I have no clue how easy or hard that'd be to implement), even if you're just changing FormIDs to generate uniformly from FExxx800 and loop to FExxx000 after they hit FExxxFFF (so you don't lose your records), it would be greatly appreciated. A minor optimization, I know, but I, and I guarantee many other modders, would greatly appreciate this!
