+# NimmerSky Gameplay Stack
+# Compiled: 2026-03-15 | Updated: 2026-03-19 (combat stack refined: SCAR out, TK Dodge RE + BRC V3 in)
+# Session with Chrysalis - Planning the gameplay layer for first real playthrough
+
+================================================================================
+                              DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
+================================================================================
+
+- HC WoW oldschool player mentality: hard, meaningful, consequences matter
+- First REAL playthrough - actually play, not just mod forever
+- LOTD as the goal: collect everything, fill the museum
+- Immersive over gamey: systems that create emergent stories
+- Avoid patch hell: smart choices over maximum features
+
+================================================================================
+                               SURVIVAL STACK
+================================================================================
+
+Core Survival:
+- Creation Kit Survival Mode                        # Native warmth/cold/hunger/fatigue
+  - NATIVE engine integration = faster than scripted mods
+  - Exposes functions for SkyrimNet triggers
+  - No Papyrus update loop overhead
+- Campfire                                          # Camping, shelter, crafting
+- Campfire CC Fish Cooking                          # Cook CC Fishing fish at campfire
+  - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/129818
+  - Requires: CC Fishing (AE content)
+- Last Seed - Survival Needs and Diseases           # Disease system, deeper needs
+- Last Seed - Craftable Cure Potions Add-on         # Alchemy recipes for disease cures
+  - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/57998
+  - Craft cures at alchemy lab (thematic recipes)
+  - SYNERGY: Apothecary alchemy + Last Seed diseases
+- Skills of the Wild - New Campfire Survival Skill Trees  # Progression in survival
+
+Hunting & Resources:
+- Simple Hunting Overhaul                           # Food acquisition matters
+
+Mental Health:
+- Stress and Fear - A Dynamic Sanity System         # Sanity, trauma, psychological cost
+
+Hygiene:
+- Bathing in Skyrim - Renewed                       # Cleanliness affects NPC reactions
+- Bathing in Skyrim - Renewed - Animal Fat and Linen  # Craft soap from hunting!
+  - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/139075
+  - Animals drop fat → craft soap
+  - Salvage clothes → linen → wash rags
+  - SYNERGY: Simple Hunting Overhaul + hygiene loop
+
+DECISIONS (2026-03-18):
+- REMOVED: Frostfall
+  - Reason: No working SkyrimNet triggers for Frostfall events
+  - Creation Kit Survival Mode is native, runs faster, has exposed functions
+- DISABLED: Last Seed follower needs system
+  - Reason: Avoid bloat - followers don't need parallel need tracking
+  - Use Creation Kit exposed functions for follower survival instead
+  - Keeps script load lean
+
+NOTES:
+- Disease system (Last Seed) still spreads through party
+- Synergizes with SkyrimNet - NPCs comment on your state
+- Native CC Survival = SkyrimNet can hook warmth/cold events directly
+
+================================================================================
+                               COMBAT STACK
+================================================================================
+
+Framework:
+- BFCO (Balanced Framework for Combat Overhaul)    # Animation framework, movesets
+  - Supports vanilla attack speed and directional heavy attacks
+  - Compatible with ANY perk mod (Adamant, Ordinator, Vokrii)
+
+Balance + NPC AI Layer:
+- Blade and Blunt (SimonRim)                       # Stamina, stagger, damage, blocking, NPC AI
+  - DESIGNED to synergize with Adamant perks
+  - DO NOT use Valhalla - B&B fills this role
+  - INCLUDES NPC combat behavior changes (attack commitment, tactical decisions)
+  - DO NOT use SCAR - B&B already covers NPC combat AI
+
+Dodge:
+- TK Dodge RE                                      # Dodge rolls with i-frames
+  - Script-free rewrite (DLL-based, no Papyrus lag)
+  - Works with BFCO animations
+  - Stamina cost configurable
+  - DO NOT use TK Dodge NG - only adds standing dodge (not needed)
+
+Archery:
+- Bow Rapid Combo V3                               # Archery combat overhaul
+  - Smooth bow animations
+  - Combo system for archery
+  - Works with BFCO framework
+
+Polish:
+- Precision                                        # Hitstop, weapon trails, collision
+
+Movesets:
+- [TBD - choose based on playstyle preferences]
+- BFCO has massive moveset library
+
+WHY THIS WORKS:
+- BFCO = HOW attacks look and chain (animations)
+- TK Dodge RE = Responsive dodging with i-frames (mobility, script-free)
+- Bow Rapid Combo V3 = Archery feels fluid and combo-able
+- Blade and Blunt = HOW attacks feel, cost, AND how NPCs fight (balance + AI)
+- Adamant perks reference B&B mechanics = FULL SYNERGY
+
+DECISIONS (2026-03-19):
+- REMOVED: SCAR
+  - Reason: Blade and Blunt already handles NPC combat behavior
+  - Stacking both = conflicting AI scripts, wasted overhead
+  - B&B is SimonRim-native, integrates better with Adamant
+- ADDED: TK Dodge RE + Bow Rapid Combo V3
+  - Fills mobility and archery gaps that BFCO+B&B don't cover
+- SKIPPED: TK Dodge NG
+  - Only adds standing dodge feature - not needed
+
+COMBAT MOD REQUIREMENTS:
+
+TK Dodge RE (full chain - each overwrites previous in MO2 left pane):

+  ⚠️ NOT compatible with: TK Dodge Redux or other DLL replacers
+
+Bow Rapid Combo V3 (requires OAR, NOT DAR):

+  2. Address Library for SKSE Plugins                # DLL version independence
+  3. Nemesis                                         # Animation engine (run after install!)

+  10. Bow Rapid Combo V3                             # The mod itself
+      - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/89308
+  ⚠️ BRC V3 1.6+ uses OAR structure - DAR will NOT work!

+Religion & Roleplay:
+- Pilgrim                                          # Divine worship system
+  - Pray at shrines for favor
+  - Each Divine has unique blessings
+  - Daedric worship with consequences
+  - SYNERGY: Arkay = disease resistance (works with Last Seed!)
+
+Magic:
+- Mysticism                                        # Spells - vanilla+ philosophy
+- Stormcrown                                       # Shouts - worth using
+
+Crafting:
+- Apothecary                                       # Alchemy - rebalanced
+- Thaumaturgy                                      # Enchanting - scaling fixed
+
+Transformations:
+- Scion                                            # Vampires - progression system
+- Manbeast                                         # Werewolves - perk tree
+
+Other:
+- Hand to Hand                                     # Unarmed builds viable
+- Arena                                            # Encounter Zones - deleveling
+  - CHECK: May conflict with other enemy scaling mods
+
+SKIP:
+- Blade and Blunt from SimonRim page              # Already in Combat Stack above
+
+================================================================================
+                          RELATIONSHIP / NPC STACK
+================================================================================
+
+Core Relationship:
+- M.A.R.A.S - Marry Anyone Rule All Skyrim        # Romance, affection states, marriage
+  - Affection builds over time
+  - Lore-friendly polygamy quest
+  - Spouse arcs (relationships develop!)
+
+- M.A.R.A.S - OStim Patch                         # Integration with OStim
+
+Follower Management:
+- Nether's Follower Framework (NFF)               # Already in base list
+  - Recruit ANYONE as follower
+  - Manage multiple followers
+  - Avoid OP modded follower syndrome
+
+Intimacy (already in base list):
+- OStim Standalone                                # Already installed
+- OStim On Demand                                 # Dynamic requests based on stats
+- OStim NPCs - NPC Sex Lives Improved            # NPCs have their own lives
+- OLS Aroused                                     # Arousal system with stats
+
+EMERGENT GAMEPLAY ACHIEVED:
+- Build affection over time (M.A.R.A.S)
+- NPCs remember interactions (SkyrimNet)
+- Romance develops into physical (OStim)
+- Recruit as follower (NFF)
+- Manage their survival needs (Last Seed)
+- They comment on everything (SkyrimNet perception)
+
+TESTED SCENARIO - Riverwood Romance:
+- Arrived in Riverwood
+- Made a moonlight rendezvous promise with Camilla
+- SkyrimNet stored the promise in memory
+- 2 hours later (in-game), sang song under silver moon
+- Camilla BROKE HER AI ROUTINE to meet - remembered the promise!
+- Sven (rival suitor) ALSO BROKE ROUTINE - came to confront!
+- Passive-aggressive scene ensued
+- THIS IS EMERGENT STORYTELLING
+
+================================================================================
+                              CONTENT / GOAL
+================================================================================
+
+Main Goal:
+- Legacy of the Dragonborn (LOTD)                 # The museum - collect EVERYTHING
+  - Clear purpose for exploration
+  - Every item has a home
+  - Collector's HQ (Safehouse)
+  - Well-patched, mature mod
+
+LOTD Additions:
+- Legacy of the Dragonborn - Followers Patch      # Follower rooms in Safehouse
+  - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/40816
+  - Supports: Inigo, Auri, Kaidan, Xelzaz, Val Serano, Remiel, etc.
+  - Custom room designs, displays, replica crafting
+  - NOTE: May need Legacy Safehouse Plus for all rooms
+
+================================================================================
+                         JAYSERPA QUEST SUITE
+================================================================================
+
+Philosophy:
+- Vanilla quest improvements, not replacements
+- More roleplay options, better pacing
+- Same author as Stress and Fear = consistent design
+
+At Your Own Pace:
+- At Your Own Pace                                # Slow down faction progression
+  - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/52704
+  - Thieves Guild: Requirements before joining
+  - College: Enter without joining, natural progression
+  - Companions: Dialogue fixes, pacing
+  - Dark Brotherhood: Lawful Good "Destroy" path
+  - MCM configurable
+
+Quest Expansions (pick what you want):
+- College of Winterhold - Quest Expansion         # More college content
+- Thieves Guild Requirements                      # Earn your way in
+- Paarthurnax - Quest Expansion                   # Alternative to killing
+- The Only Cure - Quest Expansion                 # Peryite quest depth
+- House of Horrors - Quest Expansion              # Molag Bal alternatives
+- The Whispering Door - Quest Expansion           # Mephala quest depth
+- Headhunter - Bounties Redone                    # Bounty system overhaul
+- Missives                                        # Radiant quest board (pairs well)
+
+COMPATIBILITY NOTES:
+- JaySerpa mods designed to work together
+- At Your Own Pace has patch for College Quest Expansion (Optional Files)
+- Stress and Fear (already in stack) is JaySerpa = same philosophy
+- Pilgrim (SimonRim): Built-in prayer → stress reduction
+
+WHY THIS WORKS:
+- SkyrimNet dynamic dialogue + JaySerpa quest depth = richer stories
+- At Your Own Pace prevents "Archmage in 2 hours" syndrome
+- More decision points = more opportunities for AI-driven consequences
+
+================================================================================
+                         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
