📋 About This Mod

You are not the only intelligent person in Skyrim - how unrealistic is it that NPCs do not use potions? How game-breaking that, if you install a magic mod, you are the only one able to use the new spells? That a fort is held by a handful of stupid bandits, instead of a swarm? What's the point of sneaking if you could just as easily dispatch the few draugr in your way by charging into them?
ASIS - standing for Automatic Spells, Increased Spawns - aims to change all this. It features: ---- NPC access to spells added by mods and missing vanilla spells. ---- ---- NPC access to health, magicka and stamina potions. ---- ---- NPC access to perks added by mods and missing from the originals. ---- ---- Increased numbers of spawns. ---- ---- Better enemy AI. ---- ---- Built in Randomized-Spawn System Enabled through the Patcher

Seriously - you all supporting me are awesome. I had my first donation the other day. Made my week, and really helps me out (especially with college.. ugh). Thanks for all the help and support, be it helping respond to comments, be it monetarily, be it just the download itself.

Automatic Variants is released! Get it here -> Automatic Variants. Leviathan1753's put a heck of a lot of work into it. Download it, love it, endorse it.

Update 1. 3 REQUIRES Java 7! If you get an error, please update Java! It is significantly faster than java 6, and significantly easier to use. I've also added in many code optimizations - 1. 3 should run 3x faster in patching after some profiling. Get it here if you have troubles -> Java If you have a 64-bit computer, I recommend getting both 32-bit and 64-bit. If you run 32-bit, just get the 32-bit version.

Put up an optional ASIS-Encounter Zones file. It is my personal plugin, and is not related or required for ASIS. When Encounter Zones are added to the program, it will be done there (with customization) - in the meantime, here's this. See this for details.

If you have troubles exporting the patch (duplicate editor ID's, as an example), it is generally because you have installed Steam to the Program Files directory and ASIS does not have privileges to export the patch. This is a Windows issue. Please either move the steam installation or run the patch with administrator privileges. I cannot do any more to fix that, Java 7 requires the administrator privileges.

If you cannot run the batch file, try installing the JDK, java development kit, instead of the JRE, java runtime environment. Or, replace the 'javaw' in the ASIS.bat with the directory link to the java.exe, such as "C:Program Files (x86)Javajre7binjava.exe", replaced with whatever your directory is for it.
