Stackable Stones of Barenziah with Optional Quest Markers

This mod overhauls the No Stone Unturned quest using SKSE functions to allow the Stone(s) of Barenziah to stack properly in your inventory. Because quest markers on the Stones of Barenziah are also fairly popular, and this mod won't be compatible with other mods that add quest markers, I took the liberty of adding them, too. They're optional, and can be enabled and disabled via an MCM menu or by setting the value of a global variable at the console.

Also available for Special Edition.

REQUIREMENTS

• []SKSE[/]

  []SkyUI 4. 1 (for the Mod Configuration Menu)[/]

  LOCALIZED VERSIONS

  German - 9Strike

  INSTALLATION

  I DO NOT recommend installing this mod on an existing save, as it modifies start game enabled quest scripts.  Only install before starting a new game.  As brought up in the comments, this goes for updating to the new version, as well.

  Recommended: install and uninstall with NMM.

  To install manually, copy SSoB.esp and SSoB.bsa to your Skyrim/Data directory.  To uninstall manually, remove those two files.

  To enable quest markers, use the MCM menu (called "SSoB," for "Stackable Stones of Barenziah").  You may also use the console ('`' - the backtick or tilde key, by default):

  (to enable)

  set SSoBGemMarkers to 1

  (to disable)

  set SSoBGemMarkers to 0

  KNOWN ISSUES/INCOMPATIBILITIES

  It's been reported that this mod is NOT compatible with "Non quest locations for Stones of Barenziah." I currently don't plan to fix this incompatibility.

  This mod will also be incompatible with any mod that modifies the No Stone Unturned quest, which includes other quest marker mods and droppable/sellable gem mods.

  CHANGES FROM v0. 1

  • []Added MCM menu.[/]

    []Fixed bugged quest marker on stone in Pinewatch (marker would persist after the gem was picked up).[/]

    []Optimized the vanilla quest script: replaced 25 instances of Game. GetPlayer() with a Player Actor alias.[/]

    THE GORY DETAILS

    What is "stacking," exactly? Previously, if you collected multiple Stones prior to speaking with Vex, they would appear in your inventory as a "stack." If you had collected four Unusual Gems, you would open your inventory and see:

    Unusual Gem (4)

    After you spoke with Vex, however, the four gems would be renamed to Stone
