Beyond Skyrim Equipment Variant Name (BSEVN)

Renamed variants in the Beyond Skyrim mod and base game to make the origin of each variant clear.

summary

Beyond Skyrim Bruma, War of Tamriel, and future Beyond Skyrim mods feature new gear culture variants. The iron sword in Cyrodiil has a different design than the iron sword in Skyrim, Roscrea or Hammerfell. This variety is very exciting and certainly makes sense from a vast majority of perspectives, but from a gameplay perspective your inventory or crafting menu can quickly become confusing with many different items with the same name.

This mod attempts to make the origins of each item clearer by renaming each item with a prefix to indicate the culture or region from which it originated. There is a separate module for Bruma, Vanilla and Wares, I will include more modules with future releases.

Bruma module

Prefix: Cyrodiilic

Materials affected: Leather, Iron, Steel

Example: Iron Sword->Saidi Iron Sword

The hair is unchanged as it already has a prefix Colovian. In a full release iron or steel set of Cyrodiil, it is possible (although I am not sure) that there could be Colovian and Nibenese variants, in which case I would change it appropriately.

Product module

Prefixes: Raga (Hammerfell weapon), Khajiiti (Elsweyr weapon except Rimmenese mace), Roscrean (iron greatsword), Cyrodiilic (silver Cyrodiil weapon)

Materials affected: Iron, Silver

Example: Iron Sword->Laga Iron Sword

"Raga" is the internal name of the weapon in the archives and corresponds to one of Hammerfell's cultural groups. The Rimmenese mace was not changed as it already had a prefix and was part of a different set than the main iron weapon. The Mithril Waraxe is unchanged as it currently does not have any variants.

Vanilla module

Prefix: Nordic

Materials affected: fur, leather, iron, steel, Nordic carving.

Example: Iron Sword->Nordic Iron Sword

The Dragonborn DLC's Nordic weapons have been renamed to "Nordic Carved" to avoid confusion and to fix inconsistencies with the corresponding armor sets.

Install

Simply install using the Mod Manager of your choice (recommended), or manually extract the download to your data folder. Everything is tagged ESL.

The Bruma and Wares modules naturally require these mods to be installed separately.

compatibility

Affects the base project, so changes will propagate to any Mods that use that base project. Available for unofficial patches and patches for weapons armor clothing and sundry fixes. If you are using the WACCF patch, the USSEP patch is not required as it already contains the changes.

Summary

Beyond Skyrim Bruma, Wares of Tamriel, and future Beyond Skyrim mods all feature new cultural variants of equipment. An iron sword in Cyrodiil has a different design to the iron sword in Skyrim, or Roscrea, or Hammerfell. This amount of variety is very exciting and certainly makes sense from a lore perspective, however from a gameplay perspective your inventory or crafting menus can quickly become confusing with so many different items with identical names.

This mod seeks to make it more clear the origin of each item in a way that makes sense, by renaming each item with a prefix indicating the culture or region it originates from. There is a separate module for Bruma, Vanilla, and Wares, and I will include more modules as future releases happen.

Bruma Module

Prefix: Cyrodiilic

Affected materials: Leather, Iron, Steel

Fur was not changed as it already has a prefix, Colovian. It's possible (though I don't know for sure) that in Cyrodiil's full release iron or steel sets may have a Colovian and a Nibenese variant, in which case I would make changes appropriately.
