About this mod
Ore veins no longer respawn, for an added dose of realism intended to complement mods which provide custom settings for mining.
- Permissions and credits
My original intent was to dynamically flag the ore veins to not respawn, but as I couldn't find a good way of doing so using the current options, this has been implemented as an ESL-flagged .esp which applies the "no respawn" flag to each individual ore vein reference. If I can find a way of doing this dynamically in the future, I will update accordingly.
Compatibility
No Respawning Ore Veins will conflict with other mods which edit ore vein references. I recommend loading No Respawning Ore Veins early, so that
it is overwritten by any other mods/patches editing the same references; in this instance, the worst that will happen is that you may end up with the odd ore vein that does respawn.
Patches are required to extend this functionality to mods which add new ore veins. For your convenience, I have include patches in the installer for all the Creation Club content which adds new ore veins, as well as the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch, Beyond Skyrim - Bruma, Falskaar, and Wyrmstooth. I may create additional patches if requested, as time permits.
