Philosophy

Why these mods exist

01

Built from Frustration

Papyrus storage mods are slow, buggy, and hit engine limits. These mods exist because the crafting and storage experience deserved native C++ — not workarounds on a scripting language that was never designed for it.

02

It Just Works

Feature complete out of the gate. MCM integration, sensible defaults, direct support for popular mods like LOTD and NFF, and advanced settings for power users. No surprises, no half-baked releases.

03

Open by Design

MIT licensed with public APIs that other mods can hook into. SCIE and SLID talk to each other and to third-party plugins. The modding ecosystem gets better when tools are built to integrate, not isolate.
