Ya know man, I came in all geared up to chalk this up to more of DarkConsoles janky ass code. Just last week I built a patch for display model 3 that similarly magically wouldn't work with LMAO, and figured this would be the same situation. 

But it wasn't. This is a legitimate PapyrusUtil quirk I don't think is actually documented anywhere, and I didn't even realize had gotten me in trouble before. 

Basically what is happening is because papyrus strings are case insensitive generally, the first mod that uses a specific case will lock in that case. In my configs in a few places, i look for "name" where soulgem oven looks for "Name" - I fire first because of my mad efficiency, thus killing soulgem ovens ability to read its own configs. 

I tested this out and confirmed by changing mine to "Name" and loading up with soulgem oven and the slider pages all popped right back! 

So: good news - I have a fix ready on my end. Great news - I am going to bulletproof ALL my configs so this doesn't happen again. Bad news - im in the weeds on an update and I can't provide you the fix yet. Good news - I should be putting out a test build on the discord by end of the weekend, so if you are itch'n to test it out, hop over on the discord and wait for the release! I will be putting it up on LL later when its more bulletproof, but it might be another month or so as I slam in more content and do bug fixes and such. 

For now, I would recommend disabling the one you care about less, I won't be hurt if that is LMAO. Join the discord and try out the new version in a few days if you want, or try back when i push out the next update to LL! 

I'll be reporting the same to Murphie (they are on the same discord as me with their own channel - so maybe they will bullet proof the same issue) 



Thanks for the report! I learned something new and discovered something I don't think hardly anyone knows.

I'm glad to hear that, ever since I tested it it I knew I had to find a way to get LMAO into my modlist, I still have a while before it's done so I'm in no rush for the update. Thanks again for the help with this.
