Developer’s Log: January 24, 2025

General Updates

• Modgrouped LOTD + Base Game + CC. Turns out I need this one in case I’m ever loading any of those plugins in xEdit without USSEP. Previously I had created the modgroup: Legacy of the Dragonborn + Base Game (no USSEP) but that did not include the four CCs.

Installed Survival Mode Improved – SKSE

• Required by Starfrost, which I’ll bring into the mix tomorrow.
• Modgrouped Survival Mode Improved + CC Survival Mode
• Modgrouped Survival Mode Improved + Base Game
• Noticed I neede a LOTD + CC Survival Mode modgroup, so made one
• Modgrouped Survival Mode Improved + USSEP after reviewing all conflicts
• There’s a single undesirable conflict between SMI and LOTD. LOTD changes the model for MQ201Drink “Colovian Brandy” [ALCH:00036D53] to a custom model. SMI doesn’t include that change.

• Screw it, I’m just copying the clutter\wine\COLOVIANBRANDY.nif Model record over from LegacyoftheDragonborn.esm directly into SurvivalModeImproved.esp.
• Modgrouped Survival Mode Improved + LOTD
• There’s one more Survival Mode Improved conflict (with USCCCP) and I’ll take care of it tomorrow.
