Requirements are listed above and below

*Note*      Placeholder X is used to refer to what your mod name will be called
*Note*      When told to copy something with Parenthesis DO NOT copy the Parenthesis

Example: “no parenthesis” —> no parenthesis

Sum of the steps:
1 Norbytes LSLib toolkit- need for All Step 4 & 9       4 (Getting item icons for )           9 Packaging files process to get the mod Pak file to insert into BG3MM
2 BG3CC needed for step 6-8
3 Unzip the files. + *Optional But Heavily Recommended*  move the files, not required, just will have a double \ExportTool-v1.18.7\ExportTool-v1.18.7    ->
                                                                                                       cont. ->   for the file directory (Do this for the "X" file you download from "Files" on nexus
4 Need for for all step 8.9
5 Not a step I am just lazy in changing all the numbers
6 Place X file into BG3CC folder
7.1 -  7.5.8  Only needed if you to change the mod file name/author name from defaults (X & ForgotAuthorName)
7.5.9            Only Required if you want to create multiple items, if not I believe it should be fine.
7.6-7.6.8     Only needed if you wanted to change the mod file name
7.6.9            Choose if you want to create armor & weapon. If you want one delete the other text file.
8                 Choosing what to put on your armor or weapon (IDK how to do a spell), 
9                 Converting files to get the mod .pak
Then you are done

To Be Done @ sometime when I can: Example video, goal less than 5 min long. + Extended version for people that want more than 1 item.

8       Editing the item

*NOTE* I messed up on 8.1 -8.4   Look at 8.4.1 - 8.4.5



8.1    Open Creator's_Cauldron_Main
8.2    Open Mod helper UI
8.3    Run   modHelperUI.exe
8.4    Fill in the following as you want
8.4.1 Armor Name    ;       Weapon name
8.4.2 Description       ;      Description
8.4.3 Value                 ;      dice value + damage type
8.4.4 Weight              ;       Weight
8.4.5 Rarity                ;       Rarity
8.4.6 keep “TUT_Chest_Potions” for it to spawn in the tutorial chest

8.5    Add the mod root folder
8.5.1 If you kept the mod root folder the same as X it is as below:

C:\Users\YOU\Downloads\Creator's_Cauldron_Main\X    (example; change YOU to what your user is for your computer)

8.6    Template ID; find a peace of equipment like boots that matches what item you want it on
8.6.1 Creator's_Cauldron_Main\Lists\ItemList.txt             (please understand I want no type more)
8.6.2 In Itemlist.txt this appears (example below)    —  To access Itemlist.txt: C:\Users\YOU\Downloads\Creator's_Cauldron_Main\Lists\itemlist.txt

"689e8d3e-b79b-417b-8cd2-9d08b2f5e618",--ARM_Boots_Metal (Metallic Boots)

8.6.3 you would only put the        689e8d3e-b79b-417b-8cd2-9d08b2f5e618           into the template ID

8.7    Above item location select the text and pick the correct armor/weapon piece type for your item
