DESCRIPTION

This originally started as a sorting patch for FROST, but with the horrible state of sorting mods for Fallout 4 I felt the need to make my own standalone sorting solution. The goal was a more streamlined, vanilla-friendly sorting mod that covers the whole game and all DLCs with a single plugin. I also wanted to get rid of the need to use AWKCR as it just contains too much unnecessary bloat.

In addition to the features of the main plugin listed below, Simplified Sorting includes my icon library DEF_UI Iconlibs Rescaled and Fixed, many layout fixes for the DEF_UI interface files, action script additions to hide tags where there's no icon support, custom regex rollups, a merged translation file to get rid of the F4SE requirement and an INI loaded with the main ESP that automatically applies the necessary settings for all interfaces.

Features of Simplified Sorting:

• single plugin, no external dependencies other than the UFO4P
  

• zero changes to base game records other than added tags and keywords
  

• untouched vanilla naming conventions
  

• streamlined grouping and tags, inspired by the vanilla game
• tab and rollup configuration that keeps frequently used items on top and excluded
  

• filtered INNR rulesets for dynamic detection of weapons and armor
  

• conflict free weapon tagging system that uses vanilla keywords for detection
  

• dynamic detection of weapon attachments that change tag and icon accordingly
  

• minimal amount of added keywords for armor and clothing where it was necessary
  

• includes many missed generic and unique items other sorting mods still don't cover
  

A standalone version of Simplified Sorting for those who don't use FROST is available in the optional files.

NOTES


Simplified Sorting is not compatible to AWKCR or VIS, it replaces them completely. You should still be able to load AWKCR above Simplified Sorting if you have other mods that require it.

The way FROST works makes it impossible to have 100% coverage regarding tags and sorting from the start, as instance naming rules just work on newly spawned items. As you load a premade save in FROST, some armor and weapons will have no tags until you update them either by dropping and picking them up again or modifying them in the workbench.
