📋 About This Mod
My friends have released this visual novel.
Even though it’s short for its price, it has gorgeous art, lots of variety, crude humor that hits just right, and a multitude of endings. All in all, it's a great game for an evening or two - reminiscent of old quest games.

True Equipment Overhaul SE is a Skyrim Special Edition mod that requires zEdit patching to overhaul equipment, offering compatibility with most mods but not merged or renamed armor/weapon mods. It has 310 endorsements and was last updated in May 2020.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 310 endorsements and over 14k downloads.
- Designed to be broadly compatible with most mod setups, which is a big plus for load order stability.
- Gives you control via zEdit settings, so you can tailor the overhaul to your taste.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires a zEdit patcher setup and rebuilding every time you change your load order—that's a hassle for frequent modders.
- Won't work if you merge armor/weapon mods or rename their ESPs, which is a dealbreaker for some.
- Compatibility with big perk overhauls like PerMa, SkyRe, and Requiem is explicitly excluded, so those users are out of luck.
For Skyrim modders who enjoy deep customization and don't mind a bit of patching to get their equipment overhaul just right. It's perfect if you're already using zEdit and want a flexible system that plays nice with most other mods. Skip it if you're a casual player who just wants a plug-and-play overhaul or if you rely on merged mods or major perk overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to download the portable version of zEdit and unpack the patcher into the 'modules' folder—you need the 'index.js' file in the right place for it to work.
- Place TEO.esp as low as possible in your load order, and load any optional ESPs even lower, to avoid conflicts.
- After building the patch, save TEO.esp when closing zEdit, and remember to rebuild it every time you change your load order.
