📋 About This Mod
Directions:
Download zEdit from GitHub, v0. 2. 0 or later.
Download the module and extract the archive into zEdit's modules folder.
Open zEdit and select either Skyrim or Skyrim SE
Press Crtl + Shift + P
Select Build for zPatch.esp
Theory of Operation:
I find all interior CELL records
I get the encounter zone that is being referenced
I get the winning override of the encounter zone
I check if the encounter zone has a single level or a range of levels
I apply the template formula from the patcher's settings to the cell's name
Troubleshooting:
If you run into a "could not get winning override for 0" error, you need to update the patcher to v1. 1 from this mod page.
This is completely original.
This file wouldn't exist without mator tolerating my idiocracy or his tool.
I don't really care, its a shit script, but I will say try not to be a dick about things.
So, I guess MIT license works.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 726 endorsements, so you know it works

⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure UPF is installed and active before adding this module, or it won't do anything.
