I can't find any onions and my rain is weak

[alltheseducks]

I'm using Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul and I can't find any onions anywhere, although they're apparently supposed to be found in barrels. I think I must have another mod that alters the contents of barrels, but I don't know which mod that might be.

 

Also, I'm using Supreme Storms, and while the snow works perfectly, the rain seems totally unaffected. I'm using several other weather mods, but I thought I had sorted out all the patches. If it's relevant, the Supreme Storms patch for Real Shelter, however, appears to be working perfectly. The rain is nice-looking and intense while under a bridge, but it is a weak drizzle in the open.

 

These things aren't related, but they both strike me as fairly simple, so I felt it would be rude to make two topics

 

I use ModOrganizer.

Please tell me if there's any other information I can provide. Thank you.

This is the greatest topic title I've ever seen in this forum. Love it.

 

For your first issue, build a Bashed Patch. Your onions are being overridden by something else that modifies the leveled list for the barrels.

 

For your second issue, that is peculiar, since you seem to have the proper patch for your mods above. Have you tried moving SS and the Vivid Weathers patch to being the last in your load order (before RS)? Also, as a head's up, you should replace FCO with Relationship Dialogue Overhaul. It fixes a lot of FCO's issues and is much more effective.

 

Try building a Merged Patch, in addition to the Bashed Patch. Gonna copy and paste part of a reply I just made earlier regarding this:

 

 

You can use both together, build the Merged Patch first and then open it and delete Leveled NPCs and Leveled Items. Then build your Bashed Patch (Leveled Lists and Merged Lists, do not check the Stats or other boxes. Mod Alias Names is fine) and place it below the Merged Patch. This will help with compatibility-the Bashed Patch will make sure all the items from various mods get added to the leveled lists the original mod wanted them in (so bandits and merchants, for instance, carry the weapons from all the mods that try to add them to them) and the Merged Patch will attempt to combine various other changes made by mods. Deleting the Leveled Items and NPCs in the Merged Patch allows the Bashed Patch to handle those functions, which it is better at doing than the Merged Patch is. The Bashed Patch should load last with the Merged Patch right before it.

Thank you!

 

I have just tried moving SS and its VW patch to the bottom of my load order; it does not appear to have had any effect.

 

I have just made a bashed patch. I've never done it before, so I'm hoping it turned out okay. I used the GamerPoets guide video.

 

Is it possible to switch from FCO to RDO without starting a new playthrough?

[Varichi]

I believe FCO can be uninstalled by just removing it in the Mod Manager. The only scripts I think it uses are those for the MCM, so you can uncheck it just fine. RDO can be installed mid playthrough. According the author, it works best with a new game (as do all mods), but mid playthrough is also just fine and will not cause any trouble.

 

RDO's mod page in the link I put up above has a bit of information on installing RDO midsave (it's nothing complicated, the author lists a procedure to make doubly sure the mod works correctly and cover your bases if it does not) and when he discusses compatibility, he has information on FCO. It is possible to keep both in your load order if you're worried about it, and he has instructions to that effect, but you can untick FCO and replace it with RDO just fine according to his instructions.

 

You may want to try a Merged patch for the rain issue. It's hard for me to say why it seems to not be working whne it appears that you have the necessary patches. I would double check on Supreme Storms mod page to see if the author mentions any further incompatibility. You have the Vividian patch for SS, Expanded Snow Systems, and CoT, so I'm not sure.

 

On second thought, Supreme Storms should probably be loaded before ESS. Have you tried that?

I'll try switching the load order, and the merged patch if that doesn't work.

 

However, after making the bashed patch, I still can't find any onions, or any of the other food items added by CACO (like fennel seeds, cream, Ivarstead cheese etc.). They don't show up in shop inventories, and I still haven't found any in barrels, anywhere. Any idea what else I could try?

 

Thank you so much for helping me :)
