📋 About This Mod
Description:
while working on another mod, i tried to use the Default Object for the dragon keyword which caused issues for me since the keyword was not filled in by bethesda.
This made me look and guess what, there's more of those unfilled default objects.
i added some keywords and a few globals where they were needed.
This should actually be part of an official fix or at least USSEP but here we are
This bug will most likely not affect most people in any way, but it bothered me

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny download and install, no bloat.
- Fixes a real oversight by Bethesda that can break mods using Default Objects.
- Actively maintained (last updated November 2025).
⚠️ Cons
- Niche fix that won't affect most players—if you don't mod with Default Objects, you'll never notice it.
- Low endorsement count (50) means it's not widely tested by the community.
- Potential compatibility risk with other mods that alter the same Default Object Manager records.
For Skyrim modders who use the Creation Kit and have hit the unfilled Default Object bug, especially with the dragon keyword. Also for players who want a more complete base game fix beyond USSEP. Skip if you're a casual player—this won't change your gameplay.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—no special setup needed.
- Load this mod early in your load order, right after the official patches, to ensure its fixes apply cleanly.
- If you're a mod author, check the Default Object Manager in the Creation Kit after installing to see the corrected entries.
