Stendarr's Beacon Enhanced + Ruhmastered has been released for SSE. It's been completed for Oldrim, just waiting on it's upload. EasierRider and I (especially EasierRider), have remastered the mod for compatibility with Vigilant, extra content, and it was developed with this mod in mind to work off in the future. This project is now one-step closer to the promised update ;)
why? USSEP fixes fundemental problems and serious bugs that bethesda never did and never will fix. it's required because most mods that require it conflict with it and instead of maintaining two versions (one thats objectivley worse) is counter intuitive.
ussep does a bit more than just fix "bugs" it also makes "balance" changes you might not want. for example the fire/frost/lightning cloaks get stronger (more range, more damage) when you "fortify destruction", ussep makes them.... last longer gimping the spells into worthlessness. it does the same with a large amount of items and spells, some good, frequently bad. now can you understand why someone who wants to use those items, might not enjoy a mod that makes those items worthless and/or nerfed into the ground? (its certainly a reason not to use ussep) other possible reasons could include not liking the dev(s) and/or their stance on things. (its also a common reason people might avoid a mod)
I think they had it as master when making the mod, the ussep master got cleaned without a problem. Just download ussep temporarily and open the plugins in xedit, select this master plugin and right click. Clean master.
The people who whine about 'balance changes they might not want' are the most insufferable type of mod user, and I'm willing to bet they use reddit. Boring hive mind of parrots with no original thought or opinion of their own. Imagine not using USSEP.
I dunno why the vanilla Carcette haven't been fixed. If she offers restoration training it should work as well. Buggy. Not that this mod have anything to do with that.
I actually know the exact reason. It has to do with a simple error in the dialogue stuff for the expert restoration trainer. The conditions are set incorrectly at lvl 50, which creates her training bug. I discovered it while setting up the dialogue stuff for the new Carcette. I am surprised that the unofficial patches didn't fix it. In all honesty...I more or less used a very simple fix in this mod's situation. Rather than fix the vanilla Carcette, I basically hijacked her training dialogue to the new Carcette and then fixed it. One of the side effects is that Vanilla Carcette may or may not offer training anymore. I figured that this would be a fair compromise. An expert trainer who disappears after level 10 is essentially worthless. My solution provides downloaders with a way of keeping that trainer after lvl 10.
In the future, once I learn more about dialogue stuff, I'll clean this mod up so both Carcettes work as intended.
Easily fixed. There are two conditions on that dialog topic from base game/expansions that weren't included in this mod. If those conditions are forwarded, both Carcettes will give training (and so will the Velothi trainer from Dragonborn).
Even tho author states that his vigilants added to cities are not just city guards, they still are in crime faction and thus get equiped with RMB SPIDified - Guard Armor Replacer. Not here to complain or whatever, just to give heads up to anyone using both mods, this can prolly be fixed in _DISTR.ini by adding rule to exclude vigilants so you can use both of these great mods
I use Keeper Carcette Survives. I guess the game registers "Carcette" as an individual NPC from that mod because I don't see her records affected by "Dibella's Blessing" in SSEDIT.
How can I go about making my own patch, so that "Keeper Carcette Survives" uses the replacer from "Dibellas Blessing"?
This is how I would do it in SSEEdit: Copy the NPC record for "Carcette the Survivor" from this mod into a new patch (ESP flagged as ESL) (or an existing patch). Copy the NPC record for Carcette from Dibella's Blessing (or any other NPC appearance replacer, I use Courageous Women) into the same patch. Click on one of these records in the new patch, hold CTRL, click on the other, then right-click for Compare Selected. Drag the physical appearance entries from Dibella's Blessing into the other record (Head Parts, Hair Colour, Texture lighting, Face morph and parts, Tint layers). You will lose the added scar though unless you are willing to experiment.
Don't know why, but I met Carcette and a Vigilante accompanying her when returning back from Stendarr's beacon. She and the vigilant force greet me. Tried to sneak off from there, they follow me and force greet me at every chance they get.
Deliberately ran into a band of bandits and as I see, the vigilant companion got killed by the bandits, Carcette is nowhere to be found, I hope she made it back to the beacon
All the NPCs of this mod have the guard faction but no guard dialogue. So they forcegreet you when witnessing a crime but the dialogue can not be resolved. You get into an endless forcegreet loop with stalking vigilants. My solution was to remove the guard faction from all the added NPCs of this mod in XEdit.
im always getting ctds related to the npcs added by this mod for some reason, migh be realted to the facegen ? not sure, but crash logger always points to this mod

every mod should include USSEP changes if needed to save us the hassle of going through xedit for that reason
it does the same with a large amount of items and spells, some good, frequently bad. now can you understand why someone who wants to use those items, might not enjoy a mod that makes those items worthless and/or nerfed into the ground?

Does this mod change anything to do with training?
