any news on 5.1.2. ? :smile:

Testing continues...but the improvements are so great and so many that the released version won't be v5.1.2 - but v6 !

I'll let lifestorock fill you in on all the details when he's ready to.

For those of you currently using my purist lore-friendly version -

On the downside, it looks like I won't be making a purist esp replacer version of v6.

On the upside, my planned amendments for v6 will be incorporated into v6 via MCM menu thanks to lifestorock - there will be a "default" or "purist" option with the ability to customise additional options.

A little bit of some new Update Info:
New Requirements: Skyrim 1.9 + latest SKSE & SkyUI 3.4

I think it's time to share some more information about the next version. As jackstarr said the amount of changes is huge. The most visible is for sure the MCM menu with full control. But to get this working the menu makes just about 1/5 of the changes the whole update contains. Nearly all user feedback that arrived since release of v5.1.1 is incorporated in v6. In addition to that all alternate changes jackstarr did for his purist versions are also included.To ensure full difficulty control all spells,magic effects, perks and npcs got altered to fit the new system.

Current WIP MCM:

Difficulty:
The global difficulty takes direct effect on SIC NPC Health, Magicka, Stamina, additional Damage/Armor and scales their spells to the choosen difficulty. The additional difficulty settings work on top. You can toggle the the different effects to your personal liking. Exclude things or customize further like staggering or how often npcs can use shouts.

Spawns:
SIC now includes now two ways to take control over npc spawns. SIC own spawn points can be controlled directly. Enemies spawned via level list at vanilla spawn points get replaced if they are excluded via menu. This happens directly on the npc and has no effect on other mods that share / edit / use the same level list.

Additional Spawns:
SIC v6 contains two new ways to increase spawns for certain npc types: Creatures & Animals. It's not a general increased spawn system it works more likely contextual. This means enemies that seem to be lonely won't be it any more. For example Rieklings or Goblins will spawn in random small groups. Also all cub & pup animal variants are removed from all normal level list. They will now only spawn alongside their advlt counterparts.

Night Time Encounter:
In v6 all different encounter types can be toggled separately. Don't like vampires, deactivate them and still encounter werewolf attacks at night. It will also include some more different types of enemies to spawn at night.

Random Cell Respawner:
If you visit a certain cell in the game it gets marked with a unique time stamp. Two internal game settings handle when a cell gets respawned with items and enemies. The randomizer changes these settings dynamically based on the settings of the MCM menu. So you can never be sure a cell is really empty and you won't know when it respawns.
Can be toggled of. Instead of the randomizer the menu will give you the ability to change the respawn settings directly. If you used a mod to change the vanilla settings, these settings get saved and restored once the randomizer is toggled off. But I would really suggest to use it

New Creatures:
Yes, there will be new stuff. Not as many as the last update introduced, but enough. .

Release:
April
