More Colorful Critters has been an absolute staple of my load order since it was released.  Not only is it beautiful but it genuinely does add a new dimension to the game!  I have heard that there are those people out there that don't have it installed...it's ok, Mentha gave me permission to help you solve this problem (because, well...she's awesome!).

Directions:

• Install More Colorful Critters straight away
• Profit
  

The legend kryptopyr has made an incredible set of core mods that in my opinion make Skyrim more suited for my gameplay.  Complete Alchemy & Cooking Overhaul (CACO) is one of those mods and I love to integrate it in as many ways as possible.  For those of you that feel the same way this is definitely for you!

The changes made include, but are not limited to:

• The built in respawn management system has been added to all TREE record harvestables
• The variable scale system has been implemented for all moth/butterflies
• Effects have been adjusted to be compatible with CACO's effects according to their official documented specs.
  

Installation

Do not install things manually, use a mod manager!  For support with the mod manager of your choice please visit the page or Discord server of the manager.
Wrye Bash - Discord
Mod Organizer 2 - Discord
Vortex (you are already here sort of) - Discord
Nexus Mod Manager - Only accessible via dial-up BBS, Prodigy, Compuserve or the new America Online (AOL) service (still in beta). Netscape Navigator v9.0.0.6 or newer recommended.



Load Order

It is very very important to use LOOT.  More Colorful Critters and CACO are assigned as masters as well of course.



Uninstallation

Mods and patches should be installed for new games only but if choosing to install a mod mid-game always make a backup save!  Uninstalling patches or mods in an ongoing game is neither recommended nor supported.
