For Users
This is just a framework requirement, used by other mods to do enable renaming of NPCs. If you want a mod that requires it, just download it, and throw it in your load order.

Troubleshooting
-The spell the mod uses can be a little finicky when applying to NPCs in an existing game. It usaully works, but if you are having trouble, test with a fresh game, and console in some new NPCs to verify whether the base mod is working or not.
-SPID uses string parsing to match some of the alias spells, and therefore to work correctly some modules will require the game to be in english.
-If one of the modules isn't working for you, first make sure that everything is installed correctly.
-Check the po3_SpellPerkItemDistributorF4.log in your my games/fallout4/f4se folder, and make sure that the aliases are being registered correctly, you should be able to see the exact number of NPCs being renamed by each module.
-Check the spid conditions in the module distr file, and compare it to the NPC you're testing with in xedit, mods that edit NPCs can make them no longer match the expected conditions.


For Mod Authors
This mod is a resource, which contains sets of generic messages useful for doing large scale renaming of NPCs. The core of the framework is a script, which accepts FormLists of Messages, and uses them to procedurally generate names, which is assigns to NPCs via quest alias (and then immediately removes reference from the ref collection, so it can despawn as normal if dead). The framework contains a selection of standard male and female names (taken from Real Name Settler), as well as Nicknames, and various other sets of words useful for doing procedural name generation. The spell will need to be applied to the NPC you want renamed- I recommend using Spell Perk Item Distributer to do it, however it can be applied with a standard patch as well.

Replacing True Legendary Redux
True Legendary Redux was a great idea for a mod, unfortunatly the implementation was clunky, it just renames the records. Easy to do, but causes headaches with compatibility, and you tend to see the same names over and over. All my mods using this framework have legendary only versions. If you grab the whole suite, it will give you basically a complete replacement for True Legendary Enemies.
