Description Framework

For mod users:

• []This framework allows mods to add an in-game description to items. (This is not possible in vanilla)

• []The description will show up for the item in your inventory, looting menu, crafting, etc. and follows your UI font/style without patches.

• []Descriptions are useful since many mods add special functionalities to certain items but you can only find out what they do from reading the mod description. And no one reads mod descriptions. (Hello? Is anyone there?)

• []No performance cost. No compatibility issues. Just plug and play.

• []Full MergeMapper support for VR users! (VR ESL support is included as well)

• []Customizable features. Green colored text?               Right-aligned descriptions? BOLD? Show all descriptions as the dragon language font (you're a genius if you can read it)? All possible in Description Framework's settings file

  For mod authors:

  • []Ease of use: If you want to add your own description to items (from vanilla or mods), you can easily make an text file and share it with the community, either in a new mod or as part of an existing mod. See below for instructions. Super simple.

  • []Supports Armors, Weapons, Miscs, Books, Foods, Potions, Spells, Keys, Shouts, Active Effects, Soul gems, powers, and house parts

    []No dependency: Adding support for Description Framework does not create a dependency. Mods that include an .ini file for Description Framework will show a description if Description Framework is installed. Otherwise, the user will not see a description but the mod will continue working.

  • []Papyrus functionality to dynamically add/remove custom descriptions at runtime! Note: Using this functionality will create a soft dependency on Description Framework. Check the `DescriptionFramework.psc` script for more info
