Replace vanilla weapons/armor level list with mods

[Claymore5793]

I want to replace all vanilla weapons and armor in the leveled lists with the modded ones I have installed, but after spending hours in FO4Edit and the CK I've determined I have no idea what I'm doing and nothing I can find makes sense and/or works with my overall goal. Is there a solid guide specifically for this type of editing that pieces it all together? I think it would be physically possible to manually alter every single reference between my mods and the game and dlcs the way I want, but dear god that would take forevetlr and I want to make sure it works if I have to do it that way.

For replacing leveled lists with multiple mods' leveled lists, use WryeBash. It's a fire and forget type of thing. It will go through your load order, pick all that stuff out, and put it into a bashed patch that combines everything. End result, if you have 4 mods that alter leveled lists, all 4 will be bashed together.

Check the Pinned modding topics here on the Forum on where to get it, and the tutorial for it is simple. You can do a lot of other things with it, but making a bashed patch is almost a necessity for a larger load order. When it auto-generates the patch, it will also combine certain mods into the patch itself, so you actually decrease your load order size as well. Very useful tool.
