EQUIREMENTS

Rustic Clothing is required in order to maintain consistency with the added textures and normal maps (soft requirement).

SkyUI is required to use the MCM.

R

ECOMMENDATIONS

Weapons Armor Clothing & Clutter Fixes is highly recommended as the statistics and distribution of the items in this mod are balanced around WACCF. Armor abd Clothing Extension should load after WACCF.

Armor and Clothing Extension - Settings Loader allows the saving, loading, and importing of MCM settings from an existing save.

Sound Record Distributor is required for the Immersive Sounds - Compendium .yaml patch to function.

I

NSTALLATION

Load this mod AFTER Weapons Armor Clothing & Clutter Fixes.

If you wish to use one of the optional texture resolutions, install it after the main file and allow it to replace the original .bsa file.

U

NINSTALLING

As with any Skyrim plugin, there is no guaranteed safe method for uninstalling an esp file from an existing save.  It is recommended that you start a new game whenever you remove a plugin from your load order or else revert to a save made prior to installing this mod.
