MUS – Morrowloot Ultimate Simplified
A stripped-down version of Morrowloot Ultimate containing only the loot and gear changes.
MUS – MORROWLOOT ULTIMATE SIMPLIFIED
SUMMARY
This is a stripped-down version of MorrowLoot Ultimate (MLU) by ChocolateNoodle. Read his description on that page for a general understanding of what Morrowloot is all about if you are unfamiliar, then come back and read the rest of this description to see how this version differs.
This version keeps only the leveled list changes, weapon and armor stat changes, crafting requirements, and hand-placed loot and artifacts from MLU.
In the terms Choco uses on the MLU page:
What MUS -DOES-:
Rare is Better – high-tier weapons and armor have boosted damage and armor rating; now rare items feel deserving of their reputation
Quest Rewards always best quality – same changes as No Leveled Item Rewards;
MorrowLoot Updated – Morrowloot in all of its de-leveled and logical loot glory, including all of ChocolateNoodle’s updates and enhancements to the 4E Edition, such as leveled list fixes and crafting requirement adjustments.
What MUS -DOES NOT DO-:
Enemy Level Scaling: Beware Monsters – No encounter zone edits in this version
Slower Leveling and 125 Max Skills – No Uncapper preset in the main dowload (but see OPTIONAL FILES below)
Alchemy Overhaul and “Fortify Crafting” changes – No altered ingredient effects, no perks touched, no removal of fortify crafting effects, no new dragon ingredients, no Immersive Potions integration
NO ARTIFACTS VERSION
By request – this version removes all the non-vanilla artifacts. What is left is just an overhaul to vanilla loot. Patches should all be the same for either version (see PATCHES section below).
COMPATIBILITY & REQUIREMENTS
Dawnguard & Dragonborn are required.
Skyrim -Community- Uncapper is only required if you use one of the optional Uncapper preset files (see OPTIONAL FILES below).
Since MUS is built from MLU, it also has built-in compatibility with USLEEP, Weapons and Armor Fixes Remade (full version, all options), Clothing and Clutter Fixes, and Complete Crafting Overhaul Remade, though it does not actually require any of them as master files.
For compatibility with any other mods, see PATCHES below.
INSTALLATION
Same as MLU: download and install the main file with mod manager or manually.
Move MLU.esp and any patches near the end of your load order, just above things that demand to be dead last like Scarcity, bashed / smash patch, DynDOLOD, Warburg’s Paper Map, etc.
See below for details on patches and optional files.
INSTALLING ON AN EXISTING SAVE:
You DO NOT have to start a new game for MUS! If you install on an existing save, just wait 31 days for cell recycle to make sure NPCs inventories are reset properly.
PATCHES
As a general rule, any mod that adds or alters armor, weapons, or leveled lists will still need a patch, but most other mods shouldn’t. I kept the plugin name the same (MLU.esp) for easier patch compatibility.
Patches to use as-is from MLU (Download and use from MLU page):
aMidianBorn Content Addon
Artifacts – The Tournament of the Ten Bloods (previously Artifacts of Boethiah)
Audio Overhaul Skyrim 2
Complete Crafting Overhaul’s new recipes
Enemy AI Overhaul: Revenge of the Enemies – NOTE the patch from MLU is for RotE 1.95; there is an MLU patch for RotE-2016 update here (not tested)
ESO Daedric Armor
Immersive Armors
Improved Artifacts Collection
Improved Closefaced Helmets
Inigo
Lost Longswords
MLU – No Combat Boundaries – this also contains MLU’s original encounter zone changes; you could also use Follow Me and Bash/Smash with another encounter zone mod
OBIS
Perkus Maximus
Simple Magic Rebalance
Skyrim Coin Replacer Redux
Skyrim Immersive Creatures
Stealth Skills Rebalanced
Unique Uniques
Warmonger Armory – UPDATE: use Rusey’s replacer from the optional files here: Warmonger Armory with CCOR Support. You also need to download both main files there for the patch to work properly; they replace the Warmonger plugins!
Patches I updated to use with MUS or MLU (download here):
MUS – Lore Weapon Expansion v1.4a – This is my update to choco’s LWE patch for version 1.4a. I adjusted the base damage for Cyrodillic Ebony Dagger to be consistent with Rare is Better, gave it a crafting recipe (same conditions as vanilla Ebony), and fixed up some leveled lists.
Patches no longer needed for MUS:
Legacy of the Dragonborn – current version of LotDB auto-patches for MLU (and thus also for MUS)
** BUT ** see MUS-LotDB patch here (not tested)
Ordinator – Perks of Skyrim
Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul
CACO-Ordinatored
Farmers Sell Produce
Harvest Overhaul Creatures
Heart Breaker – CACO patch here (not tested)
Radiant and Unique Potions – CACO patch here (not tested)
SPERG
OPTIONAL FILES
Slower Leveling and 125 Max Skills – Vanilla
Slower Leveling and 125 Max Skills – Ordinator
Slower Leveling and 125 Max Skills – SPERG
These are the same Uncapper presets from MLU; none are required for MUS, but nor do they conflict, so here they are as standalone downloads if you feel like it.
Nock to Tip – Rare is Better Damage Patch
This adjusts the gold value, base damage, and crit damage of the 80lb and 120lb upgraded versions of high-tier bows from Nock to Tip to be consistent with Rare is Better. This patch only requires Nock2Tip.esm and Nock2Tip.esp, so it can be used with MUS, MLU, or neither.
