(Stealth indicators are also removed so it's up to you to determine if you're hidden or not.) Locked containers and doors won't broadcast their difficulty either.

-With the exception of the quintessential Mage, most adventurers will get some benefit from Smithing. Higher tier weapons and armor have been removed from the random loot lists so your options for obtaining them are limited to hunting very specific enemies or crafting them yourself.

It sounds like the deck is stacked against you, and in many ways it is. But you don't have to go it alone. Keep in mind the following changes when bringing a follower along:
- NPCs, including followers, use ammo the same way you do. If your follower uses a bow, make sure to keep them supplied with arrows.

### Configuration
Before you can begin installing the list, you need to define two file paths:
-The **Installation Location** is where Mod Organizer 2 and all of the mods will be installed. Choose a high-level folder such as `C:\Slidikins' Strenuous Skyrim` that is outside UAC protected folders (Program Files, Documents, etc.) that's on your fastest drive, such as an SSD.

+> Including the apostrophe in `Slidikins' Strenuous Skyrim` can cause issues on some systems, especially if the default language isn't English. You may want to omit it when choosing an Installation Location.
The **Download Location** is where the downloaded mod archives will be stored. By default, they will be placed within your installation folder. I recommend you instead place them elsewhere, such as an HDD with plenty of space. They are not needed for running the game.
