About Gleanerborn:

Okay I wanted to make this for a long time now.
Clutter in Skyrim is just well clutter, but not anymore!
This mod adds crafting recipes for items that were uncreatable before, with a focus on editing as little vanilla references as possible. 
I plan on keep adding features here as I find things that make sense making.
Gleanerborn is meant to be used with a hunting mod, a camping mod and a needs and survival management mod.
You can use this by itself or with Camping CC only, but I made this mod to be a companion mod for Hunterborn, Sunhelm/Survival Mode and Bikiniborn/Campfire, so do give one of these combinations a try. 

Yes the mod name is a hommage to wonderful filmmaker and thinker Agnès Varda (The Gleaners and I - Wikipedia)


Features at a glance (changelog):

- 1.4:
- upgrade your Healing, Magicka and Stamina potions by one level at a cookpot (example: 3*Minor Healing = 1 Healing). Requires Alchemy skill level 30.
- upgrade your Resist Fire, Frost, Shock and Magicka potions by one level at a cookpot (example: 3*Resist Fire Potion = 1 RFire Draught). Requires Alchemy skill level 30.

- 1.3:
- convert cast iron pots into portable cooking pots, cook at heatsources such as campfires by selecting the cooking pot from your inventory (press E key or A button as if equipping or consuming).

- Become a Bard Patch:
- experimental patch that makes Become a Bard recognize Gleanerborn weaponized Lute and Flute as musical instruments.

- Version 1.2:
- Create custom model wooden and ebony wands, and wooden staves, with all vanilla staff spells, plus wand and staff light and heavy armored "shields" that have enchant versions of spells previously not available as enchants.
- Create custom staves and wands with vanilla spells that were not available to the player before (example Cyclone).
Note: If you want just the wands and staff, get them here: Fulcimentum Edit Ebony and Wood ESPFE at Skyrim Special Edition Nexus - Mods and Community (nexusmods.com)
- Revised stats and looks of humanoid NPC added by the mod.
- Rebalanced the cost of Alteration spell "Materialize Exploding Iron Sword", as it was too low-priced before.

- From version 1.1 I have decided to expand Gleanerborn, trying to do so in a still minimalistic way.
- Weaponize some clutter tools (shovel, wooden laddle, lute, flute - patch for Become a Bard coming soon).
- Craft basic spell wands for all schools of magic.
- Find or craft a flying broom that also summons a mage for 10 minutes.
- Find an Alteration spell which allows you to levitate.
- Hover when you have a spell or spellcasting item in each hand (dual wielding spells). This requires Dynamic Animation Replacer or Open Animation Replacer, but the mod will still work without this, only the anims won't play.

- Over 300 crafting recipes for existing game items.
- 2 new combat alteration spells, craftable under certain conditions.
- Several new weapons, craftable under certain conditions.
- 3 new raw foods, properly distributed to the appropriate merchants' leveled lists and also placed on certain animals' death item list.
- 1 new special tea.
- Melt septims into gold ingots.
- Melt silver objects into silver ingots.
- Make blacksmith hammers to use as materials (consumed in armor recycling at a tanning rack).
- Recycle fur, hide, studded, iron and steel armor and shield parts into their next tier leather, scaled, iron banded and steel plate, or elven armor parts into light elven or gilded parts - some will require you to have a specific smithing perk.
- Break down baskets into straw.
- Make children's dolls.
- Sew your own Alteration Spell Tomes, recycle extra Alteration Tomes into spells of next tier, all on a tanning rack! - up to Expert tier, each tier depends on completion of certain quests from a certain questline.
- Craft your own Silver Swords and Silver Great Swords - after completing a certain quest.
- Break down common items for materials (example, most comon type clothes can be broken down for linen wraps).
- Make pottery.
- Maken wooden bowls and plates.
- Make tankards and flagons.
- Make glass.
- Make empty bottles that you can use as recipe materials (or to gather water if you have Sunhelm installed).
- Craft Woodcutter axes and pickaxes.
- Loot clay from mudcrabs.
- Recycle burnt and ruined books into paper rolls.
- Craft projectiles, such as riekling spears, forsworn and falmer arrows.
- Become a tailor merchant when you achieve skills to make your own Fine Clothes, sell them to Endaarie's shop for profit.
- Gain access to crafting many if not all previously uncraftable outfits - except guild outfits, Dawnguard outfits, Vampire outfits, Mythic Dawn and Psijic, most other outfits are now possible to craft at some point, by completing certain quests or achieving certain perks.
- Make Forsworn Armor and Weapons.
- All nord beverages can now be made, some are immediately accessible, others require you to either achieve a certain perk or complete a certain quest.
- All nord sweets can now be made.
- All nord cheese can now be made, including Mammoth Cheese.
- Complete bounties to unlock specific crafting and cooking recipes (only Forsworn and Giant bounties for now).
- and much more that I don't recall right now.

Compatibility notes:

Most objects crafted by Gleanerborn recipes are VANILLA, which means that they will take whatever visual replacers you throw at them or whatever mods really (except the meshes which are given new functions, such as clutter that becomes a weapon. In these cases, they take texture replacement well, but mesh replacement WILL break them)
.
Gleanerborn recipes are new, and as far as I remember, the only object that was edited was Nocturnal Robes, to be made playable (this means that yes you can visually replace Nocturnal Robes, as long as it's not a replacer that makes changes to the clothing piece via a plugin).

Apart from that, right now there are about 7/8 edits to vanilla references, most of them related to specific death item lists (loot lists), and one of them to integrate my own new leveled list into a type of merchant's chest - so if you have a mod that makes edits to merchant selling lists, called chests, it's possible it'll have interactions with my edit and only the one loaded below will work.

I have tested version 1.1 (latest) in my Anniversary Edition collection The Magically Hip. Nothing major to point out in terms of compatibility, I've noticed however that Underdog Animations has a couple of strange interactions:
- One with the broom riding animation, with emphasis to broom gallop (it looks too much like horse-riding whereas the vanilla animation is quite passable for riding a broom instead of a horse).
- The other with the hover animations while using the Levitation spell, Underdog produces several "artifacts" of landing jumps, and while levitating with two spells equipped it looks a bit glitchy when doing so in a bumpy terrain.
- So either use Underdog and version 1.02 (no wands, no flying broom or levitation spell, no weaponized tools, but apart from that most of the base recipes) or don't use Underdog and use the latest version with all the extras it comes with.

If you enjoy this mod and/or my work in general, please take a moment to endorse.
