ASGO - Andrealphus Soul Gem Overhaul seemed sweet and I wanted to use it. Most of the conflicts from this mod comes from Simonrim mods, hence the name, however I did make a couple non-Simonrim patches. These patches were made by me ChickenMike and not AndrealphusVIII or SimonMagus nor anyone associated with the Simonrim team. All plugins are .ESL flagged .ESPs so they won't take up a place in your load order.
It is entirely possible that I missed something in one of these patches. Please feel free to politely point it out. Any mod that adds a bound weapon that soul traps needs a patch. I tried to adhere to Simonrim balancing whenever possible.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU ADD THESE PATCHES TO A NEW GAME. To quote robertgk2017 "Modding is illegal post character start." Adding these patches to a game in progress is neither recommended nor supported.
These patches require BEES to function properly on older game versions.

FAQ
Q:Do other Simonrim mods need patches?
A:I have no idea. I only made patches for the mods that I use.
Q:Do these patches work with my game version?
A:They should, but best practice is to use BEES.
Q:Wow these patches sure look complicated to do how did you make them?
A:Truthfully it's not that complicated. It took me like an hour to learn the like an hour to learn the CK and to be honest you should already know how to use SSEedit. Janquel's guide is an invaluable resource and without it I wouldn't have known where to even start. If I can do it you can too!
Q:Why does this page have a FOMOD but your other pages that need it so much more don't have one?
A:I'm lazy. This FOMOD took me 20 minutes, the other ones would take hours.
Q:Do you take patch requests?
A:My primary reason for making patches is personal use but if I can make the patch quickly I'll consider it.
Q:You haven't had any recent activity on Nexus and I need to get a hold of you, how can I do that?
A:@ChickenMike in either Ryn, or Janquel's discords and I should see it. I'm also in a bunch of other discords, but I check those two the most regularly.
Q:Why are you missing so many screenshots?
A:I'm lazy and taking screenshots is super tedious and I hate it.
