WHAT THIS IS
FavoredSoul's amazing Ultimate Assortment from Skyrim converted to Skyrim Special Edition. I have optimized the meshes and updated the esp file for Skyrim Special Edition, then tested the items in my SSE to make sure they work. Please refer to FavoredSoul's Skyrim mod page (linked above) for a more complete description and beautiful images of the items.

IMPORTANT NOTE
Some of these items are included in Forteverum's Immersive Jewelry SSE which includes thousands of other items as well and completely overhauls the game's jewelry system. If you already have Immersive Jewelry SSE, installing this mod will only add the mace, swords, shields and daggers, and add all of this mod's items to Belethor's vendor list. If you are only interested in FavoredSoul's wings, earrings and/or amulets from this mod, they are already in Immersive Jewelry SSE.

If you only want FavoreedSoul's weapons and shields, L3st4t has assembled them for you in Armory of the Favored Soul.

HOW TO GET THE ITEMS IN-GAME
All items are for sale at Belethor's General Goods in Whiterun. If Belethor is killed, never fear- Ysolda will take over his shop... unless Hulda is killed too, in which case Ysolda will park herself behind the counter in The Bannered Mare 24/7 and Belethor's will henceforth and forevermore be useless. If only there were some other way to get the items if, Sweet Mother Dibella forfend, some unforseen tragedy should befall Belethor and Hulda... oh, the humanity...

UPDATE ALERTS!

#1) Pursuant to a user request, I have uploaded an optional replacement plugin file (esp) that makes all items craftable while also leaving them for sale at Belethor's General Goods in Whiterun. Nothing about the items has changed- I just added another method for obtaining them. If you want craftable items, install the main mod first then install the optional file and overwrite. NOTE: Do not blame FavoredSoul for my quirky crafting menus. The crafting part is all on me.

#2) Optional meshes and textures added to give the Sword of Truth its own custom scabbard as seen on FavoredSoul's Skyrim mod. REQUIRES MAIN MOD TO BE INSTALLED FIRST, then install the optional Scabbard file and overwrite the main mod's Sword of Truth meshes and textures.

#3) "Jewelry of FavoredSoul" version added. This is a Standalone version that contains only the jewelry, wings and laurel from Ultimate Assortment and changes the vendor from Belethor's to Bits and Pieces in Solitude for better survivability and to resolve conflicts with other mods that use Belethor's.

#4) 12 June 2017- Two Optional files updated to correct missing crafting recipe for Bells' Bracelet: Ultimate Assortment Craftable and Jewelry of Favored Soul. No other changes made. Versions updated from 1.0 to 1.1 on both files. NOTE: the error causing these two updates was all my fault- FavoredSoul had nothing to do with the Crafting recipes on any of these items.

#5) November 9, 2017- Optional CBBE Amulet Meshes for Ultimate Assortment or Jewelry of FavoredSoul. Install either mod first, then install the optional meshes and overwrite.

#6) January 24, 2020- Alternative main file "Weapons of Favored Soul" uploaded. Standalone mod, contains all 9 weapons and all 3 shields from Ultimate Assortment, plus the scabbard for Sword of Truth and left-hand model for Daedra Slayer. Meshes well with Immersive Jewelry since that mod contains all the jewelry, the laurel and the wings from Ultimate Assortment. NOTE: The plugin of Weapons of Favored Soul is NOT named the same as the one for Ultimate Assortment, so if you intend to replace Ultimate Assortment with Weapons of Favored Soul, please uninstall Ultimate Assortment first because the incoming plugin will not overwrite the existing one.

#7) September 25, 2020- Added an SMP-Physics version of the "Arwen's Evenstar" amulet, by Yinkle. It works well on my UUNP body, but Yinkle made it for CBBE and it includes a CBBE BodySlide SliderSet. Requires HDT-SMP Skinned Mesh Physics and any of the jewelry-containing Ultimate Assortment main files.

REQUIRED FILES
Skyrim Special Edition for that yummy 64-bit goodness

INSTALLATION
Use Vortex (highly recommended), MO2 or NMM
OR
Download manually, then extract the archive directly into your Skyrim Special Edition installation folder (usually ..\Steam\Steamapps\Common\Skyrim Special Edition) and activate the plugin file. If you do not get a Data folder merge warning when you do this, you have pasted the mod files into the wrong folder and will have to dig around and remove them before re-reading the first sentence in this paragraph and trying again.

This mod contains addon items only and does not 'touch' any items in the vanilla game, therefore it should be compatible with any other mod. If you install this mod on top of Immersive Jewelry SSE, it will produce overwrite warnings on the jewelry items and I don't think it matters which mod's files you choose on those items since as far as I can tell the meshes and textures are identical.

The plugin (esp) file for this mod can go anywhere in your load order after the master (esm) files.

UNINSTALLATION
Use Vortex (highly recommended), MO2 or NMM
OR
Manually delete the files and folders from this mod:
..\Data\<Name of Plugin>.esp (file)
..\Data\meshes\favoredsoul\ (folder)**
..\Data\textures\favoredsoul\ (folder)**

**NOTE: As mentioned above, Immersive Jewelry SSE includes some of these same items. If you have Immersive Jewelry SSE installed and are manually uninstalling this mod for whatever reason, just delete this mod's esp file and do NOT delete the \favoredsoul\ folders from \meshes\ and \textures\ or you might break part of your Immersive Jewelry SSE mod. Yes, this clunky uninstallation method will leave some orphan meshes and textures in your installation, but that will not hurt anything- meshes & textures that are installed but never called for in the plugin (esp file) are not an issue other than wasting a tiny bit of disk space, but deleting them when Immersive Jewelry's esp calls for them will result in the items not physically appearing in your game, or appearing as sky-blue or purple blobs.
