I can't upgrade the Saviour's Hide for some reason!
I read online that it is supposedly upgradeable but it never even shows up as an option when I use a workbench to upgrade armor. I have 100 smithing, all the smithing perks, I'm wearing gear thats enchanted with a smithing buff and have some Blacksmith's Elixirs. The only mods I have installed that I think that could be causing this is Cutting Room Floor (it puts in a bunch of deleted content from Skyrim) or Linear Smithing (which just streamlines the smithing skill tree). Has anyone else experience this? I don't plan on using the armor right now but I wanted to upgrade it just for the hell of it.

The Saviours Hide is tempered by leather in my game. Cutting Room Floor or USLEEP doesn't change anything. Maybe you have a mod that is doing something to the tempering recipe.

Best thing to do is open up all your mods in TES5edit, click on Constructible Object category in Skyrim.esm and find the tempering recipe for the saviours hide. See what is overriding it.

TemperArmorDA05SaviorsHide - this is the EDID name



edit - Also to note that Saviours Hide has an enchantment on it, so you will need the smithing perk that lets you temper enchanted stuff to be able to improve it.

I've never used TES5edit before. I assume it's a program you have to download? I'd rather not mess with that kind of stuff though.

Also you clearly didn't read my post thoroughly. I said I have 100 smithing and ALL of the smithing perks.

The wiki says there is sometimes a bug where if you make smithing legendary and then take the Arcane Blacksmith perk again, you can't improve enchanted gear.

I haven't made it legendary though. I looked through all of my mods I can't think of any them being the culprit. I have over 100 mods installed so of course i'm hesitant to start disabling them to see which ones might be causing this but I might just have to do that one day.

TES5edit is an extremely useful tool for modders and mod makers, easy to set up and install - see Gamerpoets videos on Youtube for how it works and easy installation, or Fading Signal on Youtube has some good videos. Great for spotting which mods are conflicting and overwriting one another, amongst other things.

Rather than spend 2 hours disabling all your mods 1 by 1 to find the culprit, I'd suggest try it out and you'll probably have your answer in minutes.

I'll try that. Even if it's easy to install though, is it easy to use? "Easy to use" may very from person to person and I've always hated having to do tinkering with games (even though I'm used to it because of how Bethesda games are, especially Fallout 3 & FONV).

Yes, its easy to use and will probably take about 30 minutes watching a few Youtube videos so you get the basics. It's pretty much an essential tool for anyone that mods their game and wants everything to work as it should. Its a tool you can use to clean your master files, spotting mod conflicts, spotting load order issues, making patches, even making your own mods, but as long as you spend a bit of time learning the basics its really easy to use.

Gamerpoets videos, Gopher videos, Fading Signal - all on Youtube.

Okay. Thanks. I'll copy down your comment in a notepad file just to remember all of this.
