   - Collector's HQ (Safehouse)
   - Well-patched, mature mod
 
+================================================================================
+                         ECONOMY / LOOT / CRAFTING
+================================================================================
+
+Economy:
+- Evolving Value Economy                          # Dynamic market system
+  - Item prices fluctuate based on supply/demand
+  - Flooding a market depreciates item values
+  - SYNERGY: SkyrimNet quests affect economy emergently
+  - Your actions have economic consequences
+  - NOTE: Mod hidden on Nexus - obtained via direct URL (archived)
+
+Loot:
+- Morrowloot Ultimate                             # Deleveled, hand-placed artifacts
+  - Artifacts in fixed, logical locations
+  - Loot feels EARNED, not random
+  - LOTD compatible - treasure hunting with purpose
+  - Pairs with Arena (SimonRim) for full deleveling
+
+Cooking:
+- Gourmet                                         # SimonRim cooking overhaul
+  - Cooking becomes a real skill
+  - Meaningful food buffs
+  - Works with Apothecary/Thaumaturgy
+  - SYNERGY: Last Seed hunger + Gourmet cooking = food matters
+
+Jewelry:
+- Immersive Jewelry SSE                           # Multiple rings, expanded jewelry
+  - Wear more than one ring (finally!)
+  - Lore-friendly new jewelry
+  - LOTD displays for jewelry collection
+  - Exception to "no unnecessary items" rule - this COMPLETES a system
+
+WHY THIS WORKS:
+- Economy responds to your actions (EVE)
+- Loot is placed deliberately, not RNG (Morrowloot)
+- Cooking is meaningful with survival needs (Gourmet + Last Seed)
+- Jewelry has depth and purpose (Immersive Jewelry + LOTD)
+- SkyrimNet dynamic quests → economic ripples → emergent storytelling
