Advice for enabling plugin mods: Always copy the plugin name from the plugin, don't trust your typing skills and reading comprehension, that has tripped up people.

Well let me know if there's a particular thing you don't understand. I know the patches can be a little confusing with all the options, but if you look in the description tab of any of my pages, I separated them by feature sets you're trying to have. Hopefully that advice helps.
Gambit, just wanted to thank you for your suite of mods. I use many of them, and am particularly thankful for this one - not least for removing the one lingering non-xEdit mod still in my load order - and the ways it cooperates with your other mods, and even a few more, thanks to your work on patches. Appreciate what you do to add so much to this game.
Someone, PLEASE help me figure out how to get these plugins to work with each other. I've tried many different orientations and can't seem to get the option to improve vanilla clothing quality, nor does clothing spawn in the world with legendary modules. If I use console commands and go to a spacesuit bench, the quality upgrade (Calibrated) is locked. Here's my plugins.txt order: ... *dmLegendaryRecyclerHabs.esm *dmLegendaryRecycler.esm *Straw_BossChestsContainLegendary.esm *Starfield Extended - Legendary Clothing Enabled.esm *Starfield Extended - Craftable Quality.esm *Starfield Extended - Craftable Quality - Legendary Clothing Enabled.esm *dmLegendaryRecycler - Legendary Clothing Enabled Patch.esm *Legendary Module Recycler - Boss Chests Always Contain Legendaries Patch.esm ...
Everything else seems to work (clothing can be prepped at Legendary Recycler Hab on my ship, and modules can be swapped out at a bench).
If someone got these to play together, a snippet of your plugins.txt order would be enough for me. Thanks!

By locked do you mean it shows a padlock, or you just can't craft something? Are you using StarUI Workbench? I use it, so I'm not sure if it shows more crafting requirements than vanilla did, so if it's the latter, maybe you're not seeing something you need to be. If it's the former, it's probably that the game generated an item with something in that mod slot that is beyond your current crafting skills capability, which is why it's locked. I've had that happen to me recently, where I'm working on a mod that creates additional quality tiers that are level gated up to level 400, and crafting an item has generated a version that was higher level than I have access to craft.

In your StarfieldCustom.ini remove all entries for stestfile (it will break your s#*!) or sStartingConsoleCommand (it breaks some peoples' s#*!).

By locked do you mean it shows a padlock, or you just can't craft something? Are you using StarUI Workbench? I use it, so I'm not sure if it shows more crafting requirements than vanilla did, so if it's the latter, maybe you're not seeing something you need to be.
