Hey all. So, I have a simple script attached to a Misc item that basically serves as a toggle for a mod I'm working on. I use Debug.Notification("Enabled.") to let you know that function was enabled when you equip the item.

The problem is this annoying "you can't equip this item" message pops up before my toggle notification and sticks there for a while. In Oblivion you could use two blank notifications before a message to disable default text but that doesn't seem to work anymore.

Is there any other way to prevent this from showing up?

You could set the GMST *sCannotEquip to " " in the CK and/or use SKSE's SetGameSettingString.

*pretty sure that's its EditorID

Ah, well I was sort of hoping for a way that was less... permanent. While I have nothing against SKSE I would hesitate to invoke it for such a simple project.

Perhaps I will just make it a spell after all.
