Can't Smelt Weapons/Armour

[Malachor]

Hi All,

 

I've recently started playing after a partial S.T.E.P 2.2.9 install and have noticed something completely different to my extended install last October (I think it was version 2.2.6 at the time) in that I can't seem to smelt down my collected weapons/armour.  I used to be able to do this in the past but I've no idea what mod (if any) allowed me to do this.

 

Realising this, I researched via Google and noticed a DLC was available via Steam called "Smeltdown - Items to Ingots".  Now, I've never used this before, but it seems obvious to me that this is obviously a feature that must be enabled via 3rd party mod - so I downloaded and installed it, ran LOOT and rebuilt my bashed patch.

 

Upon testing, I could now smelt down my weapons/armour, but doing so no longer counts towards my blacksmithing skill O_o What on earth is going on!

 

I've obviously missed something here; possibly a core fix/patch that addresses this.

 

Anyone know of what I need to do to resolve this so I can smelt weapons/armour AND have it count towards my blacksmithing level?

 

Many thanks

 

Mal.

You need to go into the Complete Crafting MCM menu and customize your mining/smelting/smithing/tanning. There are lots of options including ones for the XP gain.

Unfortunately I have no such option in my MCM as it just shows Immersive Armours, SkyUI and Unread Books Glow. I guess this is by design. Not to worry. Thanks for taking the time to reply 😊

If you don't have it then you didn't install the mod correctly. There should be quite a few mcm menus with extended.
