Standardizes the weight and number of uses for lockpicks, probes, repair tools, and alchemical apparati.
Details
=======
Included is an esp for compatibility with Sir Luthor's "Sir Luthor's Tools" mod, which can be found here: http://www.elricm.com/nuke/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewdownloaddetails&lid=1033
- I recommend Sir Luthor's Tools mod if you are looking for a higher-res tool texture replacer that stays pure to the original tool textures.
Included is an esp for compatibility with JamesW's "JamesW's Lockpicks, Probes, and Repair Items Retex" mod, here: http://www.elricm.com/nuke/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewdownloaddetails&lid=3332
- I merged both of the esps found in JamesW's mod (he had one for probes and picks, and another for repair items).
- This mod was cleaned with TESTool.
+++Alchemical Apparati+++
- ALL Alembics weigh 3.00
- ALL Retorst weight 3.00
- ALL Calcinators weigh 8.00
- ALL Morter and Pestless weigh 2.00
- Good Skooma Pipe quality increased from 0.15 to 0.20
- SecretMaster apparati renamed with the prefix "Direnni." These items are not found in game. Direnni chosen from the name "Asliel Direnni" who, according to the book De Rerum Dirennis (http://www.imperial-library.info/obbooks/de_rerum_dirennis.shtml) was a great Alchemist. The idea was brought to my attention from an Oblivion mod "Dirennis Advanced Alchemy Apparatus MOD" here: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3844
+++Lockpicks+++
- ALL Lockpicks weigh 0.10
- Apprentice's Lockpick: 25 uses (unchanged)
- Journeyman's Lockpick: 30 uses

- Skeleton Key weight reduced to 0.40, has 500 uses, costs 65,000 septims.
+++Probes+++
- ALL Probes weigh 0.10
- Bent Probe: 5 uses (unchanged)
- Apprentice's Probe: 25 uses (unchanged)
- Journeyman's Probe: 30 uses
- Master's Probe: 35 uses
- Grandmaster's Probe: 40 uses
- Secret Master's Probe renamed to "Grey Fox's Probe." Has 50 uses.
+++Repair Items+++
- Repair Prongs weigh 1.00
- ALL Repair Hammers weigh 1.20
- Repair Prongs: 20 uses
- Apprentice's Hammer: 25 uses
- Journeymans' Hammer: 30 uses

Known Issues or Bugs
====================
It has come to my attention that having the weight of items change between saves can mess up your encumbrance. Remove all lockpicks, probes, alchemical apparati, and repair items from your inventory before activating this mod.
!!!PLEASE NOTE: When I tested this, I encountered something strange. I had 6 probes on a table, and when I went to look at them, their stats did not to appear to have changed. When I picked them up and examined them in my inventory, the stats were TIM stats. However, the name of the item had somehow been permanently changed to "Apprentice's Probe (6) (6)" meaning, that the number of items (in parenthesis) had somehow become attached to the item name. So, when you remove the tool items from your inventory prior to activating this mod, please set them out individually, not as a stack of 5 or 20 or whatever. I think that should solve the problem. !!!
