No Duplicate Relics

Now included in  LEGO - Loot Economy Gear Overhaul.

Relic weapons, armor & horse gear will finally feel unique as you won't find any more repeat copies in loot or shops after you've acquired a first copy.

Works for both NewGame and NewGamePlus, both new and old playthroughs.

Other rare/unique/only-1-copy-needed item categories such as recipes/books/schematics and gwent cards aren't affected as the vanilla game already uses some mechanisms to reduce repeated instances of those items that you don't need more than 1 copy of.

How it works:

How it keeps track of which relics/horse gear you've already acquired:

In both NewGame and NewGamePlus whenever a new relic/horse gear is added to the player's inventory the mod automatically adds its name to a savegame-persistent list of names of already acquired relics/horse gear.

In NewGame whenever the game loads, the mod will also scan the player's inventory as well as the inventory used by the stash chests/horse for already acquired relics&horse gear and adds their names to the list if missing (in case you installed the mod in the middle of a playthrough).

If you begin a NewGamePlus playthrough with the mod already installed and active then the NG relics you import into NGP won't count towards the list so you can still find their more powerful NGP versions in loot/shops once.

How it hides duplicates:

When the player interacts with a container or a merchant's shop menu the mod detects if they're carrying relics/horse gear you've already previously acquired in which case those items are hidden with a non-persistent NoShow tag (meaning that uninstalling the mod -or disabling it in the menu and reloading- should make them visible again).

In the case of containers some coin is also added to the container as a replacement for the hidden duplicate item (amount of replacement coin configurable through mod menu, default is 54% of the item's original value which is about how much you'd get from selling it)  in order to prevent potential issues with unexpectedly empty containers (such as unclearable points of interest on the map). Looting the replacement coin will remove the hidden duplicate item from the container.

You can still obtain more than one copy of a relic/horse gear via crafting or as a quest reward.

Since crafted relics are often defined as different items with different stats compared to their similarly named non-crafted/lootable counterparts (they have different names in the game files) crafting one won't then usually prevent you from finding a first/single non-crafted version as loot or in a shop.

Installing the mod in the middle of a NewGamePlus playthrough:

By default, when you install the mod in the middle of a NGP playthrough, any relics you
