-Logical bandits:
Bandits wear clothes and leather armor. Some, but only some wear iron. Silver Hand wears steel plate. Weapon wise most have clubs (yes, wooden, iron and steel clubs; those incredibly underused weapons) and daggers, only around 20% have swords/axes/maces; 60% have bows. That way it'll make sense Guards are equipped with iron axes. Now it does not: bandits use ebony gear. I'm lvl 55.
-Logical loot:
Weapons and armor above steel should be found only handplaced and on selected bosses; they don't appear in LL at all. Daedric stuff only as handplaced rewards; ebony and glass only sold very rarely on Riften. Dwemer stuff can only be found laying around in dwemer ruins, and only sold in Markarth's shops, not sold anywhere else, and they're rare. Orchiarium only found/bought on ork camps. Elven stuff worn and wielded only bt Thalmors... I think you get the gist of what I'm saying.
-Logical scaling:
Being a high level unlocks higher level encounters, but don't shift the spawn focus to it. i.e.: Lvl 5 -> bandit 100% of the time; Lvl 10 -> bandit 90%, 2nd tier bandit 10%; Lvl 20 -> bandit 80%, 2nd tier 15%, 3rd tier 5%; 1st tier never under 50% chances.
-Logical wildlife:
Wildlife is beautiful, but finding animals is rare in RL. So I think 80% of the wildlife spawn chances should spawn nothing, a 10% should spawn herbivores, a 5% 3-5 wolves, a 2% bears, a 1% sabertooth and a 2% some herbivores and one of the three carnivores.

I have the CK, and I know how to load it. Now... how do I go about it?
I tried redoing the bandits' inventory LL, but removing then would create a mess. Is there any way to do it tidily or I'll have to search for every LL user and redirect to my custom LL?
Also, are spawn points listed, or I need to go cell by cell editing every occurrence of a mob?
I suspect it's the hard and annoying way answer for both questions, but it never hurts to check with the wiser.
Thanks!
