📋 About This Mod

I recommend YASTM over GIST if you want soul bumping

ASGM will never have soul bumping,

for a few reasons I won't detail here

Language localization support (w/ SKSE64)!

No patches needed!

Trap multiple souls at once!

Configure it how you like!

(Please note: Internationalization will not work without SKSE64, because SKSE64 actually handles the translating.)

This mod is based on the now "obsolete" and unsupported mod ACQUISITIVE SOUL GEMS. In fact, it's almost the same mod. Just like with that one, this mod makes it so you never trap anything less than the maximum size soul a Soul Gem can handle.

"Almost the same mod? What's the difference?", you say?

First off, ASGM (this mod) definitely works in the Special Edition, which is why you're here.

ASG probably does as well, but since the author of ASG isn't supporting it any longer, you'll never see it in the SSE mod list. ASG also requires USLEEP, which may not work on SSE, and the SSE patch by the same author- USSEP- may not fill ASG's USLEEP requirement. Yes, it's possible to fix all those problems, but bluedanieru, the author, isn't going to do it, and this mod exists, so why would you bother?

ASGM has localization, which means that the mod is in your language, not just English.

Supported languages are Czech, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Russian, and Spanish.

If SKSE64 is installed, which is required by SkyUI, Internationalization will be enabled automagically when the ASGM MCM menu is opened.

(Thanks go to dodo007777, Ulrik, archerarcher, Oktober, lolikyonyu, Keresh, adelinadragonborn, and Jokerine for their work on the translations.)

(Thanks also go to irasik, Zwizzor, Ranua, and DemiMaxzu for the translations for the new feature added in v4. 6)

If SKSE64 is not installed, all messages will only be in English.

Here's a video showing the difference between how Soul Trapping looks in Vanilla, old versions of ASG, and, finally, ASGM and ASG 3. 0:

Personally, I think the mod's staggering trap effect is much cooler than vanilla's all-at-once thing.

Brand new with v4. 6. 6 is the ability to tell ASGM about any non-Vanilla soul gem items that were added by a mod by simply placing a json file in a certain folder. This is more for modders than for users, but literally anyone can make the needed file, so if the author of your mod hasn't made an ASGM json file for the soul gems added by that mod, feel free to do it yourself, and pm the file to the author so (s)he can include
