Issue
It always bothered me that you could know NPC names without any prior interaction. The same applies to doors, it doesn't make sense to know that a door leads to someone's house just by looking at it. And you could also say the same for notes and books. How can you know a note is a Mysterious Note written by Camila Valerius and not just a Note.
Functionality
On top of the functionality already provided by Simple Activate SKSE. This mod replaces the target of the crosshair name (what you are looking at) based on the type of object (Form Type).
For example
Installation
Object Categorization Framework is strongly recommended. It allows better generic names, such as bottle, cheese and broom, among a plethora of other types of objects (really, a lot).
Customization
This mod provides a configuration file called ImmsersiveActivate.ini. It contains the same configuration as Simple Activate SKSE + a section where you can customize the name replacers. You could carry over your previous configuration to this file and tweak the new section to your liking.
Compatibility and Load Order
Don't use Simple Activate SKSE. This mod is essentially another version of it, so using them both is like having the same SKSE plugin installed twice with different names. However, since it is technically a different mod, it also uses its own log file ImmersiveActivate.log.
Mods that alter NPC names like
are semi-compatible. If you enjoy the features of those mods and want them to be compatible you can signal my mod to skip replacing their name by using the proper configuration setting

Also some INI tweak that removes NPC name from the subtitles(I remove subtitles altogether) and from the dialogue menu as well. Alternate Conversation Camera has such a feature.

Functionality
On top of the functionality already provided by Simple Activate SKSE. This mod replaces the target of the crosshair name (what you are looking at) based on the type of object (Form Type).
For example
- A Spell Tome, and a Skill Book, will both be shown as Book.
- A scroll and the Hired Thugs contract will be both shown as Paper.
- Ingredients, regardless of what they are will be named Reagent and plants you can harvest or log piles will be shown as Resource.
- Food and Water items will be named Provision.
- Any living being will be called Person and doors leading somewhere will be called Door.
Installation
- If you already have Simple Activate SKSE installed, disable it.
- A FOMOD will suggest the required DLL automatically based on your Skyrim version.

- Remote Interactions: Looking for an NPC you don't know how it looks like ? Yell
- Convenient Dialogue UI: Hide the NPC name during dialogue.
- Decluttered Activators: Only show the object name. Remove activation action and button.
- Hidden Item Values: Only vendor menu will display item value. No more knowing how much something is worth on the inventory.
Also some INI tweak that removes NPC name from the subtitles(I remove subtitles altogether) and from the dialogue menu as well. Alternate Conversation Camera has such a feature.
