lazy renamer

Give the NPC or object any name you want.

This mod and all its requirements are alpha/beta - don't use it on anyone/anyone or save what you can't loose

Require

SKSE64

SkyUI

limit

If you remove the mod, NPC names will be restored. They are not permanent, so it needs to be active to reapply them on a game load

Object names are usually restored as well, but there are exceptions

Rename a non-unique NPC, basically any randomly generated NPC, every NPC of that type can be renamed

Sometimes it is necessary to save and reload the game to visually update the name

If an NPC has had its naming changed by using a quest alias, it is permanent and cannot be edited by this mod.

An NPC with a changed name in one save can also have it in another save if loaded during the same session. This just uses a cached renamed version of the game to speed up loading. If it's distracting, restart Skyrim and load the game again.

These are a lot of game limitations even mentioned on the CreationKit wiki, and are unlikely to be fixed. At least not me.

How to use

Approach an NPC/Object until the current name is displayed

Open menu

Enter new name

Finish

For NPCs or objects that have been registered with a new name, the option to delete it will also appear in the menu

Updated from 0.10.0 -> 0.20.0

Since the registry has been extended to support NPCs and objects and more NPCs, there are two things to note. First, since it's a new system, all names assigned by 0.10.0 will be gone. Secondly, a "clean" installation is required. This means disabling the mod, disabling it, then installing the new version.

To use the hotkey option you need SkyUILib, otherwise the popup won't show up. If you use the converted Oldrim mod, you probably already have it, as many already bundle it.

LIMITATIONS

NPC names will revert if you remove the mod. They're not permanent so it needs to be active in order to reapply them on game load

Object names will generally revert too but there are exceptions

Renaming a non-unique NPC, basically any randomly spawned, may rename every NPC of that type

Sometimes saving and reloading the game is required for the name to be visually updated

If the NPC has already had it's named changed through the use of a quest alias it's permanent and cannot be edited by this mod.

A NPC with a changed name in one save may have it in another as well if you load it during the same session. This is just the game using a cached renamed version to speed up loading. Restart Skyrim and load the game again if it's distracting.

These are game limitations many even mentioned on the CreationKit wiki and not likely to be fixed. At least not by me.

HOW TO USE

Done

For NPCs or objects who already have a new name registered the option to remove it will appear in the menu as well

UPDATING FROM 0.10.0 -> 0.20.0

Due to expanding the registry to support both NPCs and objects plus a lot more of them there are two things to keep in mind. First, since it's a new system all the names assigned by 0.10.0 will be gone. Second a "clean" install is required. This means disabling the mod, save with it disabled and then install the new version.

To use the hotkey option you need SkyUILib or the popup won't show. You may already have it if you're using converted Oldrim mods since many have it bundled.
