Like its foundation, this mod adjusts the names of various items for logic, consistency, convenience, sorting, personal preference, and to distingush them from
other items. Unlike its foundation, there is no MWSE-Lua version as I have recently made the jump to OpenMW. ESP only, folks.
Other differences include different choices in which spelling to make consistent; for this, my general line of thought was to minimize the number of edits needed in addons. For example, Tamriel_Data rather consistently uses Battle Axe over Battleaxe, so I made Battle Axe the consistent spelling.
Many of these changes are based on personal preference -- hence the name of the mod. If you would like items to be renamed according to a different set of rules, consider checking out the original mod, Potion Renamer, Soulgem Renamer, and Propylon Index Renamer.
If you have any suggestions for other items that should be renamed, or critiques of the names I have chosen, feel free to leave a (respectful) comment about it.
NOTE: Do not clean the main plugin, as it contains some intentionally "dirty" records to overwrite some of Patch for Purists' name changes.
Detailed list of changes:

Books
Many books and notes have had their titles properly capitalized.
Book title typo fixes that were overridden by PfP's semi-purist fixes were forwarded as well.
Two book series have been renamed for better sorting:
- All 2920 books have been renamed to the format "2920, Book (x): (month)"
- All of Vivec's sermons have had their number written with two digits.
A few scrolls have been renamed for fixes or consistency:
- "Scroll of Elemental Burst:(Type)" -> "Scroll of Elemental (Type)burst"
- "Scroll of Prince Ov's Brightbal" -> "Scroll of Prince's Brightball"
- "Radrene's Spell Breaker Scroll" -> "Scroll of Radrene's Spellbreak"
- "Scroll of Ulm Juiceda's Feather" -> "Scroll of Juicedaw Feather"
- All "(Noun) Scroll" have been renamed to "Scroll of The (Noun)".
- All "Scroll of the" have been renamed to "Scroll of The" for consistency.
A few notes have been renamed to distinguish them from each other:
- bk_pillowinvoice -> "Pillow Invoice"
- bk_Teran_invoice -> "Repair Invoice"
- sc_fjellnote -> "Bloody Note from Jacques"
- sc_frosselnote -> "Bloody Note from Antoinette"
Other Items
"Mortar and Pestle" -> "Mortar & Pestle"; for consistency with PfP's Secret Master Mortar & Pestle
Unique ingredients with generic names have been renamed:
- ingred_bread_01_UNI2 -> "Balyn's Bread"
- ingred_raw_glass_tinos -> "Drothan's Raw Glass"
Potions have been renamed, taking inspiration from Oblivion and Potion Renamer:
- For example, "Cheap Potion of Restore Fatigue" becomes "Potion of Respite, Cheap".
- I chose this style because a) Potions still start with "Potion" without running into the length limit, and b) I like it
Repair items have been renamed to flow better:
- "Apprentice's Armorer's Hammer" -> "Apprentice Armorer's Hammer"
- "Journeyman's Armorer's Hammer" -> "Journeyman Armorer's Hammer"
- "Master's Armorer's Hammer" -> "Master Armorer's Hammer"

Minor consistency fixes to certain miscellaneous items:
- "The Head Of Scourge" -> "The Head of Scourge"
- "Wooden Bucket" -> "Bucket"
- "(fork/knife/spoon)" -> "Silverware (Fork/Knife/Spoon)"
- "Vivec Ashmask" -> "Vivec's Ashmask"
Propylon indices and soul gems have been renamed according to Propylon Index Renamer and Soulgem renamer, albeit the spelling of "Soul Gem" is retained here.
Addons for other mods
Currently, this mod also includes patches for OAAB_Data, Tamriel_Data, Tamriel Rebuilt, Project Cyrodiil, and Skyrim: Home of the Nords.
Generally these patches apply the same kind of logic as all the previous changes.
One specific change of note is that two OAAB armor sets have been renamed:
- The Blue Bug set has been renamed to the Crag Beetle set.
- The Green Bug set has been renamed to the Wood Beetle set.
