About this mod

Adds and distributes copper precious materials, all with complex material and dynamic cubemaps. Vampires and Werewolves no longer use silver!

Permissions and credits
Why do?
I was originally intending to make a mod that replaces all silver objects within Castle Volkihar with something else, but upon realizing No More Silver in Castle Volkihar exists (along with a few others) during the process, I decided to make one in a different way. I was very happy with how Precious Objects Complex Material and Dynamic Cubemap looks, so I created this mod around that one.

What do?
This mod creates copper variants of the silver valuables. It has cloned records with cloned meshes that use a modified texture to get the copper appearance.
These objects are dispersed using Base Object Swapper. Any silver objects within vampire lairs such as Volkihar, as well as werewolf lairs such as Jorrvaskr, are fully replaced with copper variants.
There is also a 25% chance for any silver valuable found within the world to be a copper variant. These changes persist, so a copper bowl sitting next to Jarl Elisif will not change to silver the next time you visit. (This can be changed within COPPER_SWAP.ini (see last paragraph))
This mod also makes changes to the silver valuables. They are now significantly more valuable (roughly 5x more) than their copper counterparts. This is reflective of real life value ratios of copper and silver. They are also renamed from "Goblet" to "Silver Goblet" for proper distinction.
The animations have been replaced with AnimObject Swapper. Thralls within vampire lairs will hold copper valuables for their masters.

Installation
Ensure you have the required files. ENB should work as a replacement for CS, but your mileage may vary.
Use this load order:
1. Silver Objects SMIM'd
2. Precious Objects Complex Material and Dynamic Cubemap
3. This mod
Contains loose files, no archives.
Contains an esl-flagged plugin. It will not take up on of the 255 plugin slots.
Does not contain scripts.

Compatibility
This plugin does touch the silver valuables vanilla records. Consider whether to load this before or after economy mods.
Should be compatible with nearly everything else.
Should be compatible with mods that add objects to locations that have been touched. Any silver objects added into Jorrvaskr via a mod should get properly replaced.
Mods that add new vampire/werewolf dens will not be touched by Base Object Swapper, only AnimObject Swapper, however they can easily be added to the SWAP ini.

Note
This mod is in-progress. Feel free to suggest any locations or NPCs that I may have missed, or any patches that should be made. Leave a comment noting a mod link for a patch, location cell for missed objects, or NPC base ID for animations and I will look into it.
I also may consider adding this to leveled lists for things like vendors, but I want to make sure to do that in a very compatibility-friendly way.

Not required, but recommended: Ruins Clutter Improved.
