📋 About This Mod
FormList Patch Collection
FormList Patch Collection (or FLPC) is a collection of FormList Manipulator INIs (_FLM.ini files) and a few ESPfes (.esp files with the ESL flag) that increase compatibility and synergy between mods by patching FormList conflicts between mods and adding new vanilla and modded forms to FormLists.
This should help to fix inconsistencies in both mostly vanilla and heavily modded games by making things Just Work (in theory at least, this is a Bethesda game after all). Beyond patching direct conflicts between mods that edit the same FormLists, I've also added things to FormLists that probably should be in those lists.
A few examples of things that you can do when using FormList Patch Collection that you couldn't before:
[]Turn in bear pelts from Hunterborn to Temba Wide-Arms during her quest. She doesn't care how good of a skinner you are, just as long as those damn bears are dead.
[]Create things using the Atronach Forge or Spider Imbuing Chamber from over a dozen mods if they're all in your load order. Before this was not possible as patches didn't exist for all of them. Using FormList Manipulator only 1 line for each recipe has to be added to an FLM ini instead of having to create potentially over 100 .esp patches for all these mods to work together.
[]Encounter insects and fish from several mods if they're all in your load order. Even optionally encounter bees in places where you would normally only find butterflies.
[]Plant flora from over a dozen mods in Hearthfire soil if they're all in your load order.
[]Mine ore with pickaxes from over a dozen mods. Includes any pickaxes supported by Object Categorization Framework! This means that any weapon that has the pickaxe icon and type when using Aura's Inventory Tweaks should be able to properly mine ore. Optionally, you can also mine ore with the Flames spell and/or the Sparks spell.
[]Chop wood with wood axes from over a dozen mods. Includes any wood axes supported by Object Categorization Framework! This means that any weapon that has the wood axe or wood hatchet icon and type when using Aura's Inventory Tweaks should be able to properly chop wood.
[]Light things on fire (gas, oil, Summerset Shadows banner, etc.) using more fire spells, items, and effects from vanilla and mods. Optionally you can also use some shock spells, items, and effects from vanilla and mods.
[]Gift toys and other items from over a dozen mods to children. Great to use with Children's Toys AnimObject Swapper so they can both receive and play with toys from multiple mods.
[*]Use more modded items in various Atronach Forge recipes or quests where possible. Use any alcoholic beverage, soul g
