Deactivated and will look at later.<\/li>\n<li>Did some research on Vanilla Scripting Enhancements and Script (Micro) Enhancements. Unsure if installing them is needed or a good idea at this time. Should ask Robert his thoughts<\/li>\n<li>Installed Happy Little Trees, and (after a quick internal debate) Treescale.esm. Spent about 30 minutes reviewing conflicts and creating a few patches.\n<ul>\n<li>Set Treescale.esm to load before USSEP in LOOT. Had to decipher whether or not Treescale.esm should load before or after USSEP. The Nexus description says to load &#8220;1 position higher&#8221; which isn&#8217;t clear. A screenshot on a post on the Articles tab shows it loading before USSEP, so that&#8217;s what I went with. It doesn&#8217;t matter if 10 or 20 or even 100 trees aren&#8217;t enlarged if it&#8217;s going to prevent visual issues.<\/li>\n<li>Patched a few Treescale and HLT conflicts with Hearthfire, a couple AE add ons, and LOTD.\u00a0 New mod: Dii Treescale Tweaks. Add to custom patches and LOOT group &#8220;late fixes and changes.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>CRC32s for Treescale kept updating and breaking my modgroups. Not sure why.<\/li>\n<li>MO2 crashed 1 x right after creating a modgroup and exiting xEdit.<\/li>\n<li>Cleared all conflicts in xEdit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>I noticed I hadn&#8217;t activated the LOTD Staff of Sheogorath Patch, because I forgot to do that after I reinstalled the LOTD Patch. When reinstalling with &#8220;Merge&#8221; MO2 infuriatinly doesn&#8217;t activate the newly added plugins. Some conflicts came up in xEdit.
