Currently consists of the following patches:
Bugfix & Consistency Patch
Called GTS-LOTD_Traits.esp. Minor bugfixes and consistency patches. Currently does the following:
- Adds the Winking Skeever Loft key back to Corpulus Vinius's inventory so he can sell it.
- The Blood Mage trait now considers Darenii's Bloodmoon spells to be blood magic, so it is properly buffed.
- Unfortunately, Skyrim Reputation now considers Bloodmoon spells to be vampire magic, as well. Careful who sees you using it.
- (New) Disables 2 floating fishing poles near Ivarstead.
- (New) Disables the duplicate Jorrvaskr map marker.
Immersion Patch
The big one. Changes several elements of the collection to be a little more grounded.
- Horses have reduced carry weight. Skyrim's horses, being hardy work animals, can carry 300. Cyrodiil's horses (purchased in Bruma) are faster, but less sturdy, so they can only carry 250.
- Redcap can no longer carry an obscene 9999 weight. He can hold a modest 200 now. His pet Bigpig can only carry 300.
- The museum's safehouse is now given to you a good bit later, at 500 donations. With the amount of stuff in the collection, this is still a fairly small amount, but you have to work for it now.
- Avenue Overlook in Solitude now costs 4,500 Septims, up from 1400. That's about a month's stay at the Skeever, so I feel like it's still fair for a room in the heart of Solitude.
- Disables Hammet's Dungeon Pack 1 and 2's followers.The collection has an abundance of more interesting followers with requirements to recruit them. Having 4 free followers just sitting around kind of broke the illusion of the world for me.
Additionally, I've included an MCM Recorder setup sequence. Run it after LotD finishes setting up displays. Ensure Menu Maid 2 is Dismissed before running MCM recorder.
- Sets Skyrim Unique Treasures to immersion mode, making most of the collectibles owned by someone. Steal them or do some favors to earn them.
- Sets Legacy of the Dragonborn's reward delay to the maximum, making each reward take 250 donations.
- Increases Skyrim Reputation's vampire/werewolf suspicion level to Suspicious
You're welcome to undo any of these changes if they don't fit your play style.
Slow Down Patch
GTS-LOTD includes both Light Load and Move Faster With Weapon Sheathed at their default speed boosts. This can get you a massive 29% speed boost if you stack them. This patch reduces the maximum boost to 5% by adjusting Light Load to 3% and MFWWS to 2%.
Requires a new game to take effect.
Vampire Sunburn Tweaks
This patch does the following:
- Ups the minimum light level required for sun damage from 120 to 175. Azurite is VERY bright during the day, light-level wise. This should eliminate a good few false positives while moving through the shadows or near light sources.
- Changed sunrise time to 7am, up from 5am. This gives vampires 12 sun-damage-free hours a day instead of 10.
- Changed the sun damage message to "Empowered by the sun, light itself rejects you." as a way of explaining why torches and lanterns and such give you sun damage during the day.
- Removed the blur from the sun damage screen overlays.
- While fully fed, the sun weakens you, but does not burn you. As your hunger grows, it begins to burn you rather intensely. At stage 2, assuming no health upgrades or healing, you can survive for about 90 seconds. At stage 3, 45 seconds. While starving or in Lord form, a mere 30 seconds. Best not to brave the sun when you haven't had a bite in a while.
- Campfire tents give you shelter from the sun at any hunger stage. Keep a tent if you're traveling longer than a single night will allo
