A wise old person once started a thread in the BGS forums with these words:
We've all done it at some point - Wished that Bethesda would fix the damned thing *show of rage* ... and add some of those godsend features that would make life so much easier.
Unfortunately, nothing ever came of it. Beth moved on to creating more trouble with the GECK, leaving us in the dust with an aging, one-legged buzzard. But hope springs eternal. I've created this thread just in case a lone (and handsome) vagabond chances upon it and takes to themself the task of fattening the damned bird.
*tumbleweeds fly* *the wind makes an obscene sign in the sand* *the snow…oh* *the smoke clears, albeit slowly*
“Well, I’ve been told that I’m handsome…”
Fine Print
The Construction Set Extender is a lone and handsome vagabond OBSE plugin that enhances the TES4 CS by fixing various bugs and adding new tools. One may say it makes the CS what it was meant to be, but that would be a lie [snip]*.
* - Modified for political correctness.
Compatibility
This plugin is compatible with every other OBSE plugin there is. Should you find a discrepancy, please report it through the contact avenues as stated below.
This plugin is not fully compatible with ENB Series graphic mods. The CSE may fail to load or crash when the former is installed.
