I have Perk points 1.2 and the latest SKSE (Container Cat, too) , and it's working just fine.

I'm running the 1.2 patch right now, and I just really don't feel like reverting, but I am really looking forward to when I can use this because Petty Souls in Grand Soul Gems annoys me soooo much!

Ditto. Looking forward to using this.

For anyone who is interested, yeah you can try dropping or putting into/pulling out of containers Soulgems with off souls, but the bug/feature does not appear to apply to Black Soulgems. I cant get that freaking Mudcrab out of there for anything!

We won't know that until the CK comes out.

any word on a 1.2 update?

That's probably because the things you destroyed didn't have Grand souls, which are pretty rare. Either that, or your Grand Soul Gems were already filled with other souls, which will happen if Grand gems are the only empty ones in your inventory, which is why I carry stacks of lesser gems.

shadeMe, think you could jigger this to make black soul gems only trap black souls? (And hopefully this would carry over to Azura's Star...)

Possibly. I see if I can figure out how the engine makes that distinction.

EDIT: What difference does it make anyway? Is there some sort of bonus when you use a black soul gem containing a black soul?

No, but Black gems are the only ones that can hold any size soul, and by the lore they should only be able to hold black ones.

I don't know if you've done the Azura quest yet, but

I was wondering if someone could point me to the Skyrim Script Extender 1.1.0 version...I haven't been able to find it anywhere, maybe I'm just blind.

When the editor comes out I'm going to make it ultra simple for myself.

-All soul gems will be grand (except for black which will be separate)
-Will lower the cost of them dramatically, not so I can buy a ton (that will still be governed by how many the vendors stock) but so I don't make insane profits from selling empty ones I find in the world.

Now I'll have a sufficient supply of soul gems in my inventory that will store anything, big or small. It will be more about the soul than the gem that contains it, and best of all the soul can jump into any gem it pleases and it won't matter one bit.

But if I do this, how badly will I frak up enchanting? (I haven't played much with enchanting so I don't know).

This is a very practical mod. I wish a successful soul capture would bring up some sort of dialogue box to ask me where to put the soul though.

Neither can I. I'll request Ian to upload it to the official website.

Anyone tried this with 1.3?

Doesn't seem to work... "(00000001 Smart Souls 00000001) reported as incompatible during query"

How does one make such a query?

It's from the logfile called "skse.txt" located in Skyrim main folder.

no ... I see a SKSE loader.log and the smart souls.log

but all the SKSE files that end in .txt are readmes.

But I don't get that message in either logfile and the smart souls.log says it initializes.

It'll be in skse.log if you are running a version of SKSE later than 1.1 as the version requirements on the OP are stated as "Compatible only with TES Skyrim v1.1.21.0 / SKSE v1.1.0." since right now it seems that SKSE plugins need to be recompiled for each new version of SKSE or else they would cause crashes (which is why instead, the plugins just refuse to load).

The lines I get are as follows:

checking plugin D:\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\SKSE\Plugins\\Smart Souls.dllplugin D:\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\SKSE\Plugins\\Smart Souls.dll (00000001 Smart Souls 00000001) reported as incompatible during query

Check the last modified time on your smart souls log if you are not running SKSE 1.1... it's probably from well before the last time you ran the game.

shadeMe will need to update the plugin before we can use it with the current version of the game. Alternatively, one might be able to build a current version himself from the source code linked in an earlier post, or you could revert to game version 1.1.21.0 and SKSE 1.1 if you happened to make a backup of your game files from 2 patches ago...

Yup there it is:
This could mean that it is not recognizing the correct version of SKSE or something.

ShadeMe will know best.

@ShadeMe - Please recompile a version for 1.3. I've been using this since you released it in the other thread, but I was recently forcably patched to 1.3. While I could revert, everything else I'm using has released an updated version that is compatible with 1.3 and some of them have features that didn't work n 1.1. So I'd rather not revert. For now I'm probably going to just avoid Soul Trap until you update. Please update soon

Yeah, this plugin is required with my build using the "Auto Soul Trap" feature of Conjuration Bound weapons, so hopefully we'll get a fix soon!

I do need this mod since I just give my companion a soul trap weapon and all my empties, then let her get at least one hit in on everything while we slaughter. but I end up with no room for grand souls since the pesky petty souls are all over that giant sq foot housing.
