Weimer's ItemUpgrades works with BP and I think Improved Anvil 2.0 is untested. Improved Anvil 2.0 and BP are both IA improvement Mods so they might not work together well.

that's so polite Chev! i would have said something like: IA not only makes undocumented changes, it refuses to provide documentation, and it attempts to build in deliberate incompatibilities with other mods. you couldn't pay me to install that mod.Weimer's ItemUpgrades works with BP and I think Improved Anvil 2.0 is untested. Improved Anvil 2.0 and BP are both IA improvement Mods so they might not work together well.
* and in case that sounds too impolite: it is, of course, any mod author's right to make any mod they wish, in any way they like - including one that refuses to document the changes it makes and attempts to break installs if the user adds mods the mod author doesn't wish to be used with their mod. it is also every user's right to not install any mod they choose, and to have an opinion about any mod, whether or not they've installed it - and my opinion is that IA represents the exact opposite of everything BP aspires to, and you couldn't pay me to install it.

Chev is always so politically correct.

I would also suggest the Ruad mod, it is compatable with ItemUpgrade (at least it has been for me) and allows you even more chances to make some neat new items. But be careful because they both use some of the same one time only items.

It seems to me very well documented, at least the version I've downloaded. There is a separate folder called *Documents*, which contains very detailed information about changes. In addition, there is a TP2, which lists all the changes. B) So did I miss something?
