I love you all, except for satan train.

We're trying to make a custom vendor following your excellent PDF-tutorial with @Eldarth 's script. Really helps that you've taken the time to also set it up in a tutorial mod so it's easy to see all the components. I'll check the vids too. Thanks!

Hey guys... Guys... Tinuvia reads and watches my stuff. THE Tinuvia! /swoon.

BTW I lost my copy of that PDF can you send me a copy?

I'll send it in a PM! I dug deep into the depths of Discord to find it.

Doesn't Kinggath have a different custom vendor mechanism/script??
Does it have the same problem as mine?

1. Doesn't support L4 vendors
2. Vendor wants to sell own equipment as well?

I do not know about L4 support and yes they do want to sell their own equipment.

I just discovered this tutorial a few days ago and so far have watched the first two episodes with the residential plot and then watched just the residential part 3 part of another video. I have not been able to watch a live twitch show but have a lot of questions. Hope this is an ok place to ask. I know kinggath covers some of these in the tutorial PDFs but your visual going through the steps really helps clarify and helps me remember the steps.

1) When you were searching through the doors you found a set of 4 that looked the same but had different colors. You commented that you liked them because then each use of the plot could have a random colored door. However I don’t think you ever showed how to do this randomization.

2) Similarly when you were choosing food for the table you made sure all the ones in a certain size would fit on the table by scrolling through. However, I did not see you actually set things up to use the different food. This type of randomness is a bit different in that it should happen periodically and not just the first the first time a stage is reached like with the door.

3) I have a bit of confusion with your use of the word clutter and the in game setting to be able to turn off clutter for performance reasons. How do you set some clutter to always on and other to be optionally on?

4) This is a subject I don’t believe kinggath covers in the tutorial, you did not say anything about, and I have not seen any other modders do in their mods. A mod exists that adds building plan previews. It is problematic in that it has to overwrite records in the plans it adds previews for. This means it can cause problems with updates to the other mods and does not cover any new mods. Can you show how to add this preview to one of your tutorial plots? I would like to encourage mod developers to do this. If you disagree then please describe why.

5) Can you explain the reason for opening the creation kit created nifs in Nifskope and resaving them. You and kinggath say to do this but don’t give a reason. I am sure Nifskope is doing some kind of magic to the file but otherwise it looks like just renaming the file to a better name and putting it in a better location is all that is happening.

6) Not too long ago you changed your Creations by COOTS mod to no longer require certain other mods but to instead make the plots requiring them only show up if the other mod exists. Can you show how this is done? For extra credit, any chance the Plots by Paw Paw that you are maintaining can be modified to have some the plots without the DLCs?

I'd totally love this! I'd wondered about it but did not know how & could not find info about it.

If I remember right one of the later ones has that. Maybe his Agricultural? I could be wrong since it's been a little bit, I watched that one live & I have no PC at the moment so I can't apply anything I learn for a while yet.
