Note that I don't have ANY mods installed, so I really don't know wich ones are compatible or not. Mods that shouldn't cause problems ---------------------------------- -Adding or changing UI -Adding or changing locations -Adding or changing textures -Adding dialogues -Adding quests -Adding spells -Adding all kinds of stuff Mods that might cause problems ------------------------------ -Changing quests (for example companion specific) -Changing actors (specially the lvl ones) -Changing spells -Changing meshes -Changing names of objects -Changing statics, misc or any other object in general In sum, adding should not cause any compatibility issue, but changing might, so pay attention to changes. Not all types of changes are "bad", but adding is better than changing, changing stuff causes massive compatibility and stability problems. Known problematic mods ---------------------- -UFO - Ultimate Follower Overhaul (causes CTD because it changes vanilla companion stuff) -Dawnguard Vampire Lord reverse Transforming Face fix - Vanilla (if you are a Vampire Lord you will CTD when using the EarthquakeShout) Load order ---------- Since this mod doesn't change anything vanilla I advise to load it first then other mods. ~TITLE~ ====== BlackLand - A new (is)land to explore! ~SMALL DESCRIPTION~ =================== V1.6 -10 to 20+ hours of new gameplay -New (is)land -New village -New dungeons -New quests -New NPC's -New spells -Mini games -Survival modes -Secrets/Easter eggs ~LONG DESCRIPTION~ ================== Adds a new island called BlackLand with a new village, you will meet new NPC's that need your help to solve some of their problems. You will find new unique dungeons in your adventures presenting new challenges. New powerful unique spells and powers to use and discover. Mini games with replay value to entertain you when you aren't exploring (if needed, see spoilers below). Survival modes for the brave ---------------------------- -Destructible weapon: Your weapon will degrade with use -Destructible armor (slow scrit): Your armor will degrade with use -Destructible shield: Your shield will degrade with use -Sleepy: Sleep depravation will cause bad effects -Starving: Food depravation will cause bad effects Hidden secrets/easter eggs to enrich your exploration (if needed, see spoilers below). ~INSTALLATION~ ============== Should be simple, use Nexus Mod Manager, or... -First unzip -Open the folder and copy the contents to your Skyrim Data folder (BlackLand.bsa and BlackLand.esp) -Normally: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data -Start the game, choose DATA FILES, check BlackLand -Done! If you enter an interior and you appear in "space" you might need to: -Go to C:\My Documents\My Games\Skyrim -Search for file Skyrim.ini -Open with notepad, under [General] add iLargeIntRefCount=999999 If you don't have grass please check this link: http://goo.gl/aZdhRa If you have shout problems it seems installing the mod with NMM shrinks the size of your BlackLand.bsa, please check to see if it's +- 400 mb, if it's smaller than that ( < 200 mb) you should uninstall the mod with NMM and install it manually. ~TES5EDIT~ ========== When cleaning you may encounter a lot of items (825 last time I checked), this is what the creator of TES5Edit had to say about them: "That's some special case handling for removing cells which were defined but are not actually used for anything. If you go to those forms manually you'll note that they're likely just cell records with nothing attached, or cell records with empty "Temporary" blocks on them. It's harmless to let it remove those, though it'll probably get annoying since the CK will insist on resaving them - unlike the behavior in Oblivion." So, no point removing them. ~PERFORMANCE~ ============= If you have performance issues and are using destructible survival modes, try to deactivate them, the slowest script is the destructible armor, start by it then deactivate the others if needed. ~MOTIVATION~ ============ I love games, I love playing them and I love "making" them, this mod is an opportunity to show my skills and at the same time "work" in the industry, and maybe, who knows, work for real in this area? Prior to this mod I only modded PES - Pro Evolution Soccer, I had no clue how to script or use CK, it has been a long road with lots of bumps, and I mean lots, but I've enjoyed all hours (3500+ CK, 390+ Skyrim) that I've spent editing this game (almost all of them anyways). I hope you can enjoy it too ~THANKS~ ======== Thanks to my wife for understanding me, I love you. Thanks to Keld, your beta testing is awesome! Thanks to the guys at http://forums.bethsoft.com/forum/184-the-creation-kit/ they are amazing! Thanks to all VAs (Voice Actors), your work makes this mod better.

BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD: If you don't have the DLC that corresponds with one of the packs, then that pack will NOT work for you. There are no textures with these downloads and if you don't have the DLC a pack is for, you won't be able to see the ingredients! Use them ONLY if you have the DLC. The vanilla version is exempt to this, as well... Those are for the Vanilla version of Skyrim. This is a modder's resource for a very nostalgic purpose. While Oaristys did a few alchemy jars that are being used all over the internet for Skyrim mods, I had noticed that she didn't have a full set. So instead of using hers, I had created my own that were less filled for immersion on how things are displayed. I had tried to get them looking more like how gravity would fall within NifSkope, however that's a feat in of itself. I will also be updating these as people report problems within the meshes themselves. There are a few things that you can add to these jars as well. One main one is IsharaMeridan's Individual Item Sorter which can be found here: Individual Item Auto Sorter. It's based on arrays and they work fantastic for those not wanting to use General Stores for alchemy storage. Personally, this was the inspiration for this resource. It was visually immersive and it had individual containers for Skyrim's ingredients. Not to mention the feel of General Stores to me, felt that everything ingredients wise was all in one container. As an herbalist myself, knowing such things can be very VERY dangerous thing to do. Mainly being that when you mix toxic and wet ingredients with dry ingredients, the toxins from the other ingredients can leech out to your non-toxics as well as if there's wet ingredients. Not to mention wet ingredients will mold dry ingredients, etc, etc. Don't get me wrong! The system is magnificent and I use it when revamping a player home to my liking, but I never used it for Alchemy ingredients. But you can use these for General Stores too! In fact, I encourage you to use these meshes as you see fit! There's also another system that IsharaMeridan has, though it's in testing. It's a multi-container auto-accessing system while crafting. Meaning that when you've followed her instructions found in the following link, you can register these containers for easily accessing before you start crafting! Though this is in a testing phase at the moment, and I will update this section when it's gone through the testing phases and I can link it as a proper player resource. [Testers needed] Multi-container auto-access when crafting: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/1094820-testers-needed-multi-container-auto-access-when-crafting/ Incompatibilities so far are none unless you make them that way. They should work with any retexture mods as well, but I'm quite sure they'll ignore any mesh changes to the default meshes. Meaning if you have a mod that changes the way an ingredient is shaped, this will still look like the vanilla ingredients aside from retexture. There could be an incompatibility if the textures for the changed meshes are different than the basic retextures I was talking about or the vanilla textures. There's no way around that part if that does happen as I don't like uploading textures if I don't need to. Also please make sure you make the jars a different name or file path if you plan on changing the meshes Installation: Install the meshes into your Data folder. Open the Creation Kit, create new container objects or static objects (your preference), and import the meshes that way. Uninstallation: Delete references in the Creation Kit, clean the mod that was using them, and delete the Pheo3309/Alchemy/Version sub-directory folder. If no longer wish to keep any of the Alchemy Jars, then go ahead and delete the whole Pheo3309 folder. Version being Vanilla, Dawnguard, Hearthfire, or Dragonborn. You'll see exactly what I'm talking about after you unpack them. Known Issues: Since Tamira went ahead and changed all of these for us, there isn't any need for collision primitives anymore! Frequently Asked Questions: Q) What is the difference between these jars and Oaristys's Jars in her modding resource pack? A) Well, firstly you'll notice that the jars aren't as full as hers are. As an herbalist, even with dry ingredients, I chose to keep my jars under or over half full. The reason being is that if you have too full of dry herbs in a jar, the air isn't allowing the dry herb to breathe. While it's still dead and dried, sometimes it's the air used in medicinal properties. For instance Spearmint has a natrual menthol like scent. If my sinus cavities are filled up, I'll just open the jar cap, smell, and then it's better. If it was too full, it wouldn't be as potent. So for me less filled jars are more immersive. Another reason is that wet ingredients would spoil faster. This is based on my many years working with herbs and herbology in terms of medicine. Another way that they're different, some of her ingredients are upside down, while all of mine are rightside up. In fact the only similar jar mesh is the Canis Root Jar, to my knowledge. Q) Can I use this for my housing mod? A) Of course! You can use this for any mod as long as proper credit is given to me for the creation of the jars. Q) There isn't a Salmon Roe Jar mesh! What gives?! A) Due to some unfortunate circumstances with my current capabilities with Static Mashups, Salmon Roe wouldn't transfer correctly. Everything I did to try and fix this either led me into dead ends, laggy meshes, and meshes that just didn't do it justice. I prefer quality over quantity. However! You can make a static model of Salmon Roe by finding it's mesh under _byoh\clutter\ingredients in the meshes folder and phase it through an empty jar. Oaristys and Blary both have empty jars that you can do this with. Q) I don't like the way one jar looks. Can you change it? A) If there's enough demand for a change, I'll change them accordingly. However if you know how to change them you can! Just don't upload it as your own resource without permission. That's the only "ask for permission" there is. If it's for personal use though, it's totally fine and dandy! Q) These meshes don't work! A) If they don't work, try extracting the textures of the ingredients from the Textures BSA that comes with Skyrim. This is the only thing that I could think that would affect how it would work. (It should work regardless however). Q) I use modified ingredient meshes and it comes along with textures and now the meshes look terrible! A) That means that this mod is incompatible with the new meshes and textures packed with those meshes. Do let me know and I'll update the file and ReadMe to match to the according. If the mod author of these new meshes allow me, I'll try to make a compatible version. Q) Do you plan on doing the DLC ingredients? A) I actually did them all at the same time. Though instead of packing them all together, I packed them separately so that people that didn't have the DLC didn't have to gnash their teeth in frustration about why things aren't appearing correctly in the game. Q) Can I add these to my resource mods? A) As long as you've asked for my permission to do so and credit me for the meshes I've created. Thanks To: Oaristys for coming up with the idea first. Without your modder's resource package, I'd have never driven myself to do my own from scratch. Mine aren't as pretty as yours, but now we all have a full set of vanilla ingredient jars to work with. IsharaMeridan for listening to my constant psychobabble on the Nexus and putting up with my neverending questions on modding Skyrim, as well as creating the system that sparked this idea in my head indirectly. Not to mention all the other systems you've been creating, especially for crafting. Without these, I think that my Skyrim experience would be less immersive than what it is now. LisnPuppy for being not only the Goddess of the Nexus, but being the source of information and supported me with advice and criticisms when I needed it most. Even though these are uploaded only on TESAlliance, you're still one of the greatest sources of do's and don'ts on the Nexus. Bantari for Ravenloft back in Morrowind's day. I know he's no longer modding for any game to my knowledge, but without his inspirational mod for player housing, I'd have never jumped in head first into modding at all. Tamira for optimizing the collision of all of these jars along with getting them to not bounce!
