📋 About This Mod

Description

  • []Mod uses Spell Perk Item Distributor (SPID) to distribute one (1) fairy from Dwemer Fairies SSE to NPCs

    []Fairies use body slot 61 - FX01

    []ESL-flagged

    []No records edited

    []Player character not impacted

    []_DISTR.ini designed for maximum configurability

    Requirements

    • []Dwemer Fairies SSE

      []Spell Perk Item Distributor (SPID)

      Overview

      Dwemer Fairies SSE contains nine (9) coloured fairies. Fairies are animated and glow. My mod utilizes a small script that runs once (at game initialization) to randomly distribute and equip one (1) fairy to a curated group of mage NPCs. Mod randomly distributes one fairy to NPCs in the following factions:

      • []College of Winterhold

        []Court Wizards

        []Spell Trainers

        []Warlocks (min level = 19)

        []Necromancers (min level = 19)

        []Bandit Plunders and Bandit Marauders

        []Thalmor Wizards

        All groups can be mixed, matched, even disabled in the _DISTR.ini. Some NPCs have had level restrictions placed on them. These restrictions can be removed easily. I have included syntax to distribute fairies to all NPCs (ActorTypeNPC). This syntax is for modders and others who wish to have fairies distributed to other groups. However, this particular syntax is disabled initially and needs to be enabled in the _DISTRI.ini (by deleting the semicolon in front of the particular syntax). The mod will always calculate its random distribution based on nine (9) fairies no matter how distribution is configured (e.g., female, male, level, faction, voicetype, etc.).

        Compatibility

        Highly compatible with most setups, and with most other mods.

        • []Spell Perk Item Distributor (SPID) does not edit levelled lists, and does not modify or generate new records.

          []Body slots, however, are not compatible. Choose wisely, or edit the body slot. I will not alter body slots.

          []Clipping will likely occur depending on setup. I will not resolve clipping issues.

          Installation and Uninstallation

          Use the mod manager of your choice to install. Or manually. To uninstall, remove with mod manager. My understanding is that SPID will not impact save games in any way. Safe to uninstall at anytime.

          Configuration

          Huge number of configuration options available. Please see Article for more information.

          Caveats, Recommendations, and Extensions

          []Children will equip fairies if enabled (I have included a syntax in the _DISTR.ini for ActorTypeNPC)
