+## Combat
+
+### [Blade and Blunt - Vanilla Difficulty Modifiers](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/34549?tab=files)
+
+With Blade and Blunt, the SimonRim combat overhaul, the difficulty is increased noticably. If, like me, you don't necessarily appreciate harder combat situations, you can use this addon to revert the difficulty modifiers to vanilla: You will deal more damage and receive less.
+
+This mod is **optional**.

+- **Optional Files:** Blade and Blunt - Vanilla Difficulty Modifiers
+
+### [Blade and Blunt - Timed Block Module](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/34549?tab=files)
+
+Timed Blocking is not a feature in Blade and Blunt but has now been added by popular request. The reason is that shield bashing is a far better alternative in terms of balancing: Take a chance and interrupt your foe's power attack with a bash. If you time it just right, you will interrupt them and gain a window of opportunity. If you don't, you will bear the full brunt of their swing. When using Timed Block on the other hand, the worst that can happen is that you mistime your block and instead of getting a timed block only block normally.
+
+Whether that makes combat feel too easy or just satisfying is up to you. This mod is **optional**.
+
+### [Disable Cinematic Kills](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/169?tab=files)
+
+I don't like kill cams. This mod is **optional**.
+
+*In case you're wondering: Kill cams against the player are already disabled by Blade and Blunt. This is because they can be somewhat unfair and trigger even on attacks that normally wouldn't have killed the PC.*

+## Release 4.5.1
+
+> 07/04/2021
+
+Fixes for 4.5 as expected. Thanks to everyone on Discord who gave feedback and reported issues!
+
+This version will also be available on Wabbajack shortly.
+
+**Cathedral 3D Mountain Flowers:**
+
+As mountain flowers go [these](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/41312) are probably the most elaborate out there. I was very impressed by the new models and textures, and added them to TPF a few versions ago. Since then I've played the game quite a bit with them installed and I can no longer deny that they simply stick out. I just realised that their ESM has a bunch of conflicts with Skyrim Landscape and Water Fixes that I somehow managed to miss so that was the final nail in the coffin. The mod was removed in this update (not patching conflicts for a mod that's about to be removed anyway). Instead I added Skyrim Flora Overhaul (only the plant retextures) which is still an improvement over vanilla.
+
+**Double enchantments:**
+
+Up until very recently, double enchantments in Skyrim were bugged. This affected the Solstheim "Chaos Damage" enchantment (fire, frost, and shock) as well as the "Fortify <school\> & Magicka Regen" enchantment from the base game. These enchantments could be learned by the player, but when the player applied them to equipment, only one of the effects actually scaled with their Enchanting skill level while the other remained at "Novice" strength.
+
+Previously this was worked around by the mod [Enchanting Adjustments](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/8473) which replaced the enchantments learnt by single ones (Shock Damage for Chaos Damage and Fortify <school\> for Fortify <school\> + Magicka Regen). A better implementation might have been to flag all items with these enchantments as not disenchantable but that is far more work and creates compatibility issues.
+
+Either way, this fix is no longer necessary because **KernalsEgg**, author of the new and brilliant [Scrambled Bugs](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/43532) mod, actually fixed it. I edited Enchanting Adjustment accordingly (through the CRP) so you can once again learn and use the double enchantments in question.
+
+#### Mod Installation
+
+- Fixed various typos.
+- **Fixes:** Updated additional instructions for Scrambled Bugs (final INI tweak moved to line 16 by latest update).
+- **Fixes:** Updated download instructions for Skyrim Landscape and Water Fixes (file name changed).
+- **Fixes:** Updated FOMOD Instructions for Skyrim Landscape and Water Fixes.
+- **Tweaks:** Added No More Follower Hunting Bows (undocumented 4.5 addition).
+- **Tweaks:** Removed Fixed Body Collision (causes physics issues, "tripping" over bodies, etc).
+- **Tweaks:** Fixed missing download instructions for True Teacher Durnehviir.
+- **Interface:** Fixed explanation for A Quality World Map (now unpacking archive for SSELODGen).
+- **Graphics Baseline:** Added instructions to create a projecteddiffuse.dds for Noble Skyrim (undocumented 4.5 addition).
+- **Landscape:** Fixed download instructions for Skyrim Remastered - Glaciers and Ice (second download is in optional files).
+- **Landscape:** Updated download instructions for Realistic Water Two (version number change).
+- **Trees & Plants:** Added instructions to remove two textures from Cathedral Plants.
+- **Trees & Plants:** Removed Cathedral 3D Mountain Flowers.
+- **Trees & Plants:** Added Skyrim Flora Overhaul.
+- **Trees & Plants:** Removed download instructions for the Fern main file from Flora Mod Collection.
+- **Trees & Plants:** Added Skyrim High Poly Fern Meshes.
+- **Trees & Plants:** Added Caveworm Plant Retexture.
+- **Gameplay:** Added Dragon Aspect Overhaul (undocumented 4.5 addition).
+- **Gameplay:** Removed Genuinely Intelligent Soul Gems (undocumented 4.5 removal).
+- **New Content:** Added Armor of Yngol - WACCF Patch.
+
+#### Finalisation
+
+- **Wrapping Up:** Replaced example plugin for ESL-ifying (UniqueBorderGates-All-PointTheWay.esp was removed in 4.5).
+- **Wrapping Up:** Removed Fixed body collision.esp from the list of plugins to ESL-ify (removed from the guide.)
+- **Wrapping Up:** Removed UniqueBorderGates-All-BetterDGEntrance.esp from the list of plugins to ESL-ify (removed from the guide).
+- **Nemesis:** Moved this step *before* Facegen. Nemesis mods crash the Creation Kit before they are patched.
+- **Nemesis:** Moved creation of the PATCHER OUTPUT separator from Facegen to this page.
+- **Nemesis:** Removed mention of Movement Behavior Overhaul and replaced a related screenshot.
+- **Facegen:** Removed mention of High Poly Head which didn't get added after all.
+
+#### Conflict Resolution Patch
+
+- Fixed remaining miscellaneous conflicts.
+- Actually fixed conflicts with Reasonable Quest Rewards (they got lost in 4.5 somehow)
+- Tweaked Armor of Yngol implementation (chest now only contains armor pieces and should only appear during the quest)
+- Re-enabled double enchantments because Scrambled Bugs now contains a fix for them
+

 TPF is using a number of mods to improve NPC appearance. However, by default many of these mods will only affect the player character and facegen must be regenerated with those mods so that they can apply to NPCs as well. In this step we will regenerate facegen not only for all vanilla NPCs but also for NPCs added by certain mods for consistent and high quality facegen across the board.
 
-The process of creating facegen was significantly simplified by **Nuukem's Creation Kit Fixes** and **VictorF's zEdit script**. Since we are using High Poly Head, we need to also update the head parts on NPCs which an xEdit script will do for us.

In general you should have quite a bit more than 20GB of free space on your drive anyway.
