Description
Make All The Things is a comprehensive crafting mod that adds over 500 crafting recipes to native Skyrim/Dawnguard/Heatherfire/Dragonborn items that were hitherto without them. Examples include Clothing (robes and tunics, boots, gloves, hats and hoods, etc.), Clutter and Decorative Items (dishware, pots and pans, tools, bug jars, and much more), Circlets, Spell Scrolls (including the 20+ scrolls that do not appear in unmodded Skyrim because they're not included in level lists), Drinks and Food (including most non-unique beverages, as well as foods that have no recipes like cheeses, grilled leaks, crème treats, etc.), Specialty NON-ENCHANTED Weapons and Armor (including faction-specific gear), and much more. You'll even find several recipes for items that are included in the game files but are otherwise unavailable.
This mod DOES NOT include recipes for unique items, daedric artifacts, enchanted items (with only a few exceptions), quest items in instances where the ability to craft such items would trivialize the quest (again, with only a few exceptions), potions (excluding a few beverages that are labelled as potions), or books (although books may be included at a later date if there is demand for them, with the understanding that there are as many books in the game as there are recipes added by this mod, so that would take some time). Thieves' Guild trophies ARE included, but the item you must possess in your inventory to unlock them (Guilde Master's Hood) is only available to you AFTER you have gone through the entire Thieves Guild questline).
In order to prevent "crafting menu clutter," each recipe added by his mod has specific conditions that must be met for it to show up (similar in nature to how vanilla recipes for leather don't appear unless you have specific animal pelts in your inventory). Generally, this condition is limited to nothing more than having at least one of an item's primary ingredient in your inventory (for example, possessing one clay in your inventory unlocks pottery recipes at the oven crafting station, one iron ingot unlocks basic iron clutter recipes, one mountain flower in your inventory unlocks a linen wrap recipe (do a Google search for "flax" and you'll see why I chose mountain flowers), one glass unlocks glassware items at the smelter, one straw unlocks baskets at the tanning rack, one linen wrap unlocks most cloth clothing at the tanning rack, one leather unlocks boots/gloves/certain headware at the tanning rack, one deer pelt unlocks fur armor at the forge, one firewood unlocks a recipe for charcoal at the smelter, etc.).
However, specialty gear like faction-specific weapons and armor may have additional requirements such as a specific smithing perk, or a faction-specific item in your inventory (examples include Potion of Blood for vampire-themed gear and items, the book "The Rise and Fall of the Blades" for Blades gear, or the key/deed to a specific player home in order to craft your homeland's guard armor/helmet/shield), and there are also some items that require a specific crafting station (i.e. the forge in Fort Dawnguard for DG items, and the Skyforge for Wolf and Ancient Nord gear) (SPOILER ALERT: a list of such requirements can be found at the very bottom of the description).
Most of the mundane items' recipe viewing requirements are common sense, but if you get stuck simply ask yourself "What would this item actually be made from, and does that material exist in the game?" If all else fails, don't hesitate to ask in the comments.
Make All The Things was created with the core game/DLCs in mind, but it also complements survival/immersion/roleplay mods quite well. All efforts have been made to maintain balance and prevent items from becoming craftable before they should be (for example, most Dragonborn items' recipes require at least one ingredient that is only available on Solstheim), and care has been taken to ensure that if an item has a high resale value it also has comparably pricy ingredients, so as not to trivialize Smithing leveling progression. Please note, this mod DOES NOT add tempering recipes to armor and weapons that were not given any in the base game, nor does it make any changes to item stats, weights or values.
Requirements
Make All The Things requires Skyrim and all its DLCs (Dawnguard, Hearthfire, Dragonborn), or Skyrim Legendary Edition). There are no additional requirements.
Compatibility
Make All The Things doesn't change any vanilla/DLC records, nor does it add any new items to the game database or make any changes to worldspaces or cells. It simply adds new crafting recipes that should stack alongside any other new crafting recipes added by any other mod. As such, this mod SHOULD be compatible with everything, so long as other mods don't change form ID numbers of ingame items, or delete them outright. There may be, however, duplicate recipes for the same items, and patch mods/extensive overhaul mods might make some recipes from this mod seem illogical and/or trivial/impossible. At the very worst, you might end up with recipes from this mod that never appear or cannot be crafted, but only under extraordinary circumstances, and certainly nothing game-breaking.
Installation/Uninstallation
Either install with Vortex, or download manually, unzip and place the ESP file in your Skyrim/Data folder. To uninstall, simply disable/uninstall in Vortex, or delete the Make All The Things ESP file (or move it to another folder). It's considered good practice to not install/uninstall mods in the middle of a playthrough, but because this mod does not make any changes to the game's core files (it only adds "constructible object" records that are linked to existing ingame items), it should be fine to do so.
Load Order
Again, because Make All The Things only adds new records that usually cannot overwrite or be overwritten by anything else, load order shouldn't matter.

This mod is free in perpetuity, and uploading it to other websites for monetary gain is strictly prohibited. That said, I give full permission for others to utilize this mod in their own mods with any changes/additions/omissions they see fit, so long as proper credit is given and no attempts are made to profit from this work.
Make All The Things was made ENTIRELY with TES5EDIT. I hope you enjoy it.
