  • Update 0. 3 - Tytanis Compatibility
  • Added all spells/shouts, most items (the ones that will end up being favorited)
  • If there\'s anything else useful that\'s being mis-sorted, please comment.
  • Coming Soon: JaySuS alternate sword names being added
  • 1/8 Found several mis-sorted items such as Frostbite Venom. Will update with a fix soon

  • Works WITH or WITHOUT Headbomb\'s Better Sorting (comment if there is a problem)
  • --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • Categorized Favorites Menu takes the small vanilla menu and expands it into multiple
  • configurable lists, and since it\'s so easy to configure it\'s definitely worth messing around with to
  • find out how you like it positioned, how the lists work, etc.
  • This is just my version that I am uploading by request from the Custom Configurations thread.
  • FavBar changes the standard position, categories, and columns of the default CFM so it takes up
  • less screenspace while still having room to quickly find everything you need. The addition of
  • sublists in version 1. 6 of CFM made this even better. It\'s been moved to the top so you can still
  • see your hands/what you have currently equipped.
  • One cosmetic difference I\'m going to try and figure out is how to fade out the lists at the top
  • and bottom similar to the vanilla list, it might blend better. This will be optional if I do figure it out.
  • The current version SHOULD be fully compatible with Headbomb\'s Better Sorting, and Tytanis.
  • I\'m currently in the works of updating this to be compatible with 3E Weapons, Midas Magic,
  • Deadly Dragons, etc.
  • PLEASE READ THE README!
  • Update for Better Sorting also included many other unique items such as masks that are now
  • sorted properly. Only comment if things are rediculously awry and I will try to fix it.
  • Please Endorse and/or Comment with your thoughts! :]
  • ------------------------------
  • INSTALL
  • Make sure you have version 1. 6 of Categorized Favorites Menu installed.
  • Copy and replace \"favoritesmenu.cfg\" file from the RAR into your
  • Skyrim/Data/Interface folder.
  • It should ask you to overwrite a file, click yes.
  • Comment if there are problems with this
  • CHANGELOG
  • VER 0. 3 - Tytanis compatibility added
