Introduction
This is a merged and updated collection of several small mods or concepts that affect the official DLCs.
To me, these features are pretty much essential for any playthrough and reflect how I think the DLCs should have been. However, I also like to keep my load order as short as possible, so I'm tempted to drop some of them since their effects are potentially not large enough to warrant the load order space. This solves that, by merging the changes into a single plugin, whilst also doing a thorough clean and update.
I have also intentionally made this mod so that it has no NVSE dependencies or constantly running gamemode scripts. All scripts in this mod are as lightweight as possible and only run in specific areas where they are required. If I could implement a feature without any scripting at all, I have done so.
