Unofficial Creation Club Updates - Arcane Accessories

Also available on Bethesda.net!

I hate it when quests start automatically. Be it a mod, a DLC pack, or whatever we're calling the things you download from the Creation Club, if installing it causes a quest to just appear in my journal, I'm not a fan. It's immersion breaking, for one. Download a few things from the CC, and all of a sudden I have to accept that my character has heard three rumours and received a haul of mail in one go - while at the bottom of a dungeon, no less!

I have therefore taken it upon myself to rectify the situation, and intend to work through all the files on the Creation Club one by one, making it so that the quests start in more immersive ways, as well as making any other improvements I see fit.

With this patch installed, "The Lost Library" will no longer automatically start when you load the game. Instead, a note will appear in Tolfdir's room in the College of Winterhold's Hall of Attainment.  Reading it will start the quest. After that, everything should continue as normal.

Additionally, a "Familiar" shader is applied to the conjurable Bear, named spells ("Fenrik's Welcome", "Mara's Wrath" etc. have been removed from the leveled lists), and several balance improvements have been implemented. See the Change Log for details.

Midgetalien has also provided a number of enhancements: the robes are now dis-enchantable, enchantable staffs have been added for each of the new spells, and non-named spells have been removed from the quest's reward for the sake of balance and progression. The new staffs and unenchanted robes have also been added to the leveled lists via Bethesda's Arcane Accessories startup script, so no Bashed Patch is required.

For best results, do not install this patch on a save file that has already been loaded with Arcane Accessories installed. If you do, it won't break your game, but you won't benefit from some of the fixes and you may experience unusual quest behaviour.
