Ingestible: Consumables, like food and potions Now as for the types of records, here are the important ones you are most likely going to interact with: If you want to move to an iron sword in someone’s house, you need the reference ID. A reference ID is the actual placed base object in the world – if you wanted to spawn a new iron sword, you use the base ID. Base records are the “original” record in the back end, think the actual determining nature of an NPC or the base iron sword. You will also interact with two kinds of Form IDs: Base IDs and reference IDs. Hence why Skyrim.esm FormIds are always 00xxxxxx. That’s what the first two digits are: the place in the load order. There are numerous databases and wikis for searching for base skyrim/dlc forms, but the formID is also determined by Load Order (meaning you don’t need unique form ids between plugins). Name is generally the actual name of what it appears as in game (if it is interactable in game).Įvery single record has a unique FormID which helps you find it. The EditorID is a name meant for sorting/finding via editors or scripts. FormId is the actual basic ID of record, the numerical code the engine recognizes it as. REMEMBER: creators of these lists do NOT offer support for any changes you make to the original list (unless specified) you should always read through the instructions and follow the Discord for more information.įirst off you need to know the three primary columns: FormID, EditorID, and Name. You can see which mods are included in a particular modlist by either looking at the manifest in the Wabbajack program or the archive search on the gallery page (some modlists include a spreadsheet with their readme, as well).

There are many other options that I haven’t tried (as well as options for Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim LE, and Skyrim VR). For heavier options, you could try Aldrnari or Living Skyrim.


For a lighter option, I would suggest The Phoenix Flavour or Keizaal.

I suggest everyone try it at least once so you can get an idea of what it is all about. If you want to learn the process and want a much more customizable modlist, this is probably not the option for you. If you are okay with using someone else’s list (or if you are comfortable with tearing apart the merges/patches/etc to rebuild if you make changes), then this could be a great option for you. I personally have tried half a dozen of these for Skyrim Special Edition and the experience was fast and easy, but remember that you can’t have your sweetroll and eat it too. This is generally for someone that doesn’t want to spend the time learning/curating their own list, that doesn’t have the time to do any of that, or for someone that wants to easily test out some variations in playstyles.
