Skyrim Scaling Stopper

MOD SUMMARY:

This mod is a leveled list overhaul to make it so weapons and armor of higher quality than steel are rare, treasure is not leveled, and most enemies are not leveled. Secondary aim: By using optional patches, this mod allows you to use some popular mods that add new content along with the Skyrim Scaling Stopper system so that the new material has level scaling removed, and so the conflicts with the other mods in the system are resolved. All these mods can be used together without suffering conflicts, having some of their content get lost, or having to carefully build a bashed patch.

THE PROBLEM:

I think that leveling is pretty lame. Why should the whole world revolve around you? I have this trouble with suspension of disbelief. I look at something that is ridiculous for awhile and put up with it, but then the point comes where I cry out, \"The emperor has no clothes!\" Think about this: When you start a new character, you fight a lot of wolves and skeevers. The bandits all have iron and steel weapons. The shopkeepers will sell you iron ingots. But you keep on playing and the world starts getting weird. Wolves and skeevers are going extinct and there is this plague of cave bears on the land. The bandits suddenly have all these really awesome weapons made of valuable materials. The merchants are trying to sell you ebony ingots instead of iron. Lame! Lame! Lame! I want a more static world. I want leveling up to be meaningful. In vanilla Skyrim,you can actually become weaker in battle and have a harder time surviving as you level up. This happens if you use your perks on non-combat skills such as alchemy or blacksmithing. (Especially if we are talking about skills like speech and lockpicking.) I want there to be an incentive to level up. Some players purposely do not level up because they can find situations in which they are more powerful when they are lower level and weaker. (Being more powerful when you are weaker? something is seriously wrong with this picture!)

THE SOLUTION:

Stop the level scaling! Edit the frequency of occurrence of various enemies, weapons, armors, loot items, and vendor goods. Anything can spawn at any time, but certain things need to be rarer than others.

LEVELS OF ENEMIES:

So with this overhaul, the world around you remains constant.(But very erratic and highly variable.) You start out pathetically weak, and gradually become a mighty hero that fears nothing and can kill anything. You have a very strong incentive to level up, because you don\'t want to be dying all the time. The leveled lists are not leveled. Everything on a list spawns at level 1 or higher. The l
