For this update I've mostly got things figured out, but I'm still trying to bounce ideas around and preemptively balance things on paper. Things should go much faster than the last update though. There's not any bugs or major issues that I'm aware of that need fixing, so I can just create new content without having to waste extra energy looking for solutions to problems that may or may not actually exist.
If you have any suggestions or issues with a certain part of the mod, now would be the best time to bring them up since I'm still planning things out.
Re-downloading the latest version of the mod and then reinstalling it might work. If that doesn't fix the problem, then I'm out of ideas.
Btw I dunno if you fixed it in latest versions but a huge issue I am experiencing while recruiting Jenassa is that she uses a huge mist AOE that damages the player and friendly NPCs. I was legit confused for a while cuz I was getting poison dmg while having her around and another follower was getting hostile to her, I am guessing she is using one of her race skills. I think it's called Poison Mist, or whatever, I just know it's a huge green mist that deals dmg to literally everyone and I think it was even paralyzing me here right now. lol
If it isn't part of this mod then disregard this, I have 2500+ mods so it could be something else.
I think I may have also replaced the paralysis effect with regular stagger. It's been a while though, so I could be misremembering something.
I have this effect that I got when I picked up fight with some bandits at fort greymoor. My character is a woodelf. Initially this effect was there on Meeko as well as the follower, but now it is only on my character. Its been sometime now and it is still there. Wondering if it is something from this mod? If yes, then how long does it last? Any ways to get rid of it?

Edit: Solved it using Universal Unwanted Effects Clearer Mod
Skyrim is kind of screwy sometimes and magic effects can occasionally get stuck on your character when they should have worn off. Glad to hear that you were able to solve the issue.
Later on in the future, there's plans for greenspeaker and spinner options for bosmer. A forebear option for the redguards that's going to center around slowly unlocking the shehai. A thirsk option for nords that leans more into their berserker theme. Lastly, for the far off distant future, I've still got around 20 more options in a design doc that I'm working on for the other races.
One other thing, as a sort of bug report. The Khajiit (Monk) section of the MCM menu is empty. Not sure if there was suppose to be any settings on that, or if that was a template issue in the code that displays it.
As for the MCM stuff, it's working as intended. The blank areas are placeholders for customization options that are being added in the future. Sometimes I don't always have the time or mental state required to finish everything at once, which results in certain features getting pushed back to a later date.
Losing your save file isn't fun, so I'm going to re-enable the previous mod version to be downloaded like you asked. It's in the old files section under the optional files.
Limiting active abilities to specific npcs is possible, but it's also highly impractical on its own. Hypothetically speaking, if I were going to create a system like that, the end user would first need to choose which npcs that they wanted to allow the use of abilities. From there, they would need to use the keyword item distributor to give the npcs in question a specific keyword which would allow them to use their active abilities. Depending on how modded your game is, that would mean picking and choosing from hundreds or thousands of npcs and manually adding them to an INI file, it would be extremely tedious.
Combining the two above ideas and creating some kind of exclusion list that lets you specify which npc always has access to their active abilities regardless of the rng chance chosen by the player could work out fairly well though. It's far less work on the end user since you would only need to choose a handful of exceptions rather than potentially sifting through thousands of npcs to figure out who you want on your list. I could totally see myself creating something like that at some point down the road.
Busted abilities also exist in vanilla skyrim, they're just gate kept behind specific races. Unlike the player, vanilla NPCs don't have access to their strongest abilities since they can't use active abilities in combat. For example, orcs in vanilla can double their physical damage output and reduce their physical damage taken by half for 60 seconds. Vanilla bretons can pretty much walk into a room filled with enemy mages and ignore them for 60 seconds, on top of that they also resist 25% of every form of magic. Meanwhile the vanilla khajiit, imperials, wood elves, and redguards may as well not even have abilities. Bethesda gave them meme abilities that don't help the player outside of a very narrow and specific set of situations.
The idea behind this mod was to even out the playing field between the player and NPCs. For the most part, I believe that I have achieved that initial goal. Could certain parts be improved? Sure, and I'm always open to people sharing their ideas on how to do that. User requests are the main reason that I created an MCM for customizing how certain parts of the mod work, this way you can tailor the mod to fit your preferences.
If you're comparing humanoid NPCs to non-humanoid NPCs then you may have a point, but that issue could also be solved by getting another mod for creatures to even the playing field. Later on in the year I'm going to release a creature overhaul to complement this mod. The creatures will also have new abilities and you'll be able to customize how most things in the mod function for each category of creature.
So if I'm understanding you correctly, the problem that you have with the vfx is that it's just too bright? It's not an issue with the art itself, but more so that it's too blinding and distracting?
