I have been playing with Morrowind Advanced along with Piratelord's creature pack. Within the past day or two I have noticed that all of a sudden Dremoras are carrying real daedric weapons again, and I can't figure out why. Some of the lower end dremora types added by one of these mods still drop dremora specific weapons that look daedric but aren't, but the higher end stuff all of a sudden has daedric gear again. It shouldn't, right? I know that is one of the points of Morrowind Advanced.

What could be wrong and how could I fix it?

Thanks.

Has your character recently leveled-up a lot?

Did you recreate your Mashed List after installing the mod? It needs to be recreated after each time ou add a mod that uses Leveled Lists.
Recreating Merged Objects is also a good habit.

I will try recreating. I haven't added any mods since creating my list but as you say, not a bad idea. To recreate I just right click on Mashed Lists.esp and tell it to import merged lists, right? For some reason I thought I had to have all the mods selected (like Windows selected, not just check boxes), but that seems to be a technical impossibility.

I might be 10 levels higher than the first time I encountered a Dremora Lord. I'm at 24 right now I think, but would Morrowind Advanced care about that? I thought it just replaced the high end stuff regardless of the level, but then added chests in certain places and such.

Ok, I recreated and it seemed like it worked, but all the monsters are still dropping the goods, unlike before. I'm sure others use Morrowind Advanced. Is this normal by level 24? I'm extremely skeptical. It's sort of lame honestly to get the ultimate all of a sudden, all over the place.

What is the ID of the guy dropping daedric stuff?

If it's "dremora_mwa", that's a leveled creature from Morrowind Advanced that starts to appear at player level 20, and he does carry a "random_daedric_weapon" which is just what it sounds like.

I will track that, though I don't know how to track it by ID. I can give the names of creatures though. I may have overestimated what the mod was doing or something. One thing I know for sure is that Dremora Lords are dropping stuff. I think one of the assassins added did as well but I am only 85% sure.

On a related note, is there a mod that balances the prices of the various high end items to sync with the game's economy, but does not make a million other modifications at the same time? I know there is a balanced weapon mod that does this, but it also strangely increased the weights of weapons by 2 in some cases and entirely redoes all damage ranges.
