Chaos reigns!
Behold, APEP: A force of evil driving isfet into pointless orderly conduct.
PROBLEM Mods like Purist's Vanilla Patch are too indiscriminate! In the process of doing the lord (Talos Stormcrown)'s work (cleansing Skyrim of Horker influence with 100% Vanilla records), they revert a lot of beneficial records that other community addons may add!
These errors on original PVP's part include, but are not limited to:
Save bloat
Console errors
Visual oversights
Useless keys
The ability to pick up unplayable catapult ammo
Flags that nerf your own attacks
The ability to accidentally heal enemies
SOLUTION To fix that, here's this.
APEP corrects mods that are out of line like never before. Instead of taking the scorched-earth approach, surgical precision is used; It is easy to look at all alterations that the mods you have could ever make as heretical, but APEP intelligently chooses what survives, what is altered, and what is annihilated. It doesn't revert just anything, only the most sensitive targets for out-of-scope and/or wild edits.
Make sure you read the changelog to see everything that's reverted/edited!
Changes popularly made in other mods are selectively filtered for maximum quality. If other mods of a similar stripe could be called adjustment removers, this is an adjustment reviser! Not enough for you? It removes Mirmulnir's fandubbing. Please clap.
disclaimer: APEP is a counter-c0da to a c0da and is thus extra heretical. this mod is in legal accordance with applicable terms of use. not all wild edits to game balance may yet be reverted by APEP. many horkers were harmed in the making of this file. installation and endorsement of this mod may be controversial, and will make you a public enemy in horker support groups. (no alterations are actually made to any horker-related records by this mod). it also casually appropriates the name of an ancient entity of evil from a religion which believes names are power, and thus singing this mod's praises may invoke it; strengthening it's power and thus it's attempts to devour the sun every night and end all existence. this in turn will probably anger all of the other gods on the pantheon and land a few mummy curses on you, such as large deliveries of fishy sticks being made to your house. we apologize in advance, praise the defiler wyrm. the ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
