xml.cached.xmb files

[Outis]

Hello community,

What are the xml.cached.xmb files which exist for every xml file with the same name and that come in side the mods and the game files? Are they required to be generated when we are creating a new mod, and how are they generated?

Hi,

You don't really need to generate them when making mod. They are just more efficient version of the file packed into game so engine has easier time reading data. You can even get rid of them and your game will run the same. Engine will make its own version of them in game cache folder
