As such, incompatibilities with mods that alter the same features are to be expected. See Compatibility section in the Nexus description page for further details. =============================== MANUAL UNINSTALLATION =============================== NOT supported. However, it's just a matter or removing all files listed in the FILES USED section. =============================== WRYE BASH UNINSTALLATION =============================== Just uninstall the mod as you're used to do. Make sure you DON'T continue playing with an existing YASH game save with the mod uninstalled. Uninstallation of the mod from existing game saves is NOT supported, NOT recommended and definitely NOT technically feasible by any means. This is not a peculiarity of YASH but just the way Skyrim works. =============================== CREDITS & USAGE =============================== Use of any of the resources in this plugin is strictly forbidden without the author's permission. However, you're free to provide mod translations without asking for permission first. Translations should be provided as patches using YASH as a master. Open YASH in TESVEdit, alter every YASH2_ message found in the Message branch in TESVEdit after having copied as override the entire branch in a new file, save the work as a new ESP and you're done. =============================== CONTACT =============================== Find me on Nexus =============================== CUSTOMIZATION =============================== You can change the following race stats in xEdit using the Custom Races ESP: - Starting Health - Starting Magicka - Starting Stamina - Base Carry Weight - Health Regen - Magicka Regen - Stamina Regen Nothing prevents you to change the other stats as well anyway. If you use race mods you will have to forward the changes to whatever race patch you're using. Initial player skills and attributes are set at runtime right after the character menu is closed. To set them to your likings copy the included YASH2_StartingSkills.txt in the main game directory [usually \Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition], then change the values in there. Once in game bring down the console and type "bat YASH2_StartingSkills" BEFORE you close the character menu.
