Chain Contingency

Is there a specific reason as to why I cannot select any 8th level spells for use in CC? The highest it will allow is 7th. I keep clicking on the 8th button (and 9th) and nothing will appear in the spell list. I have plenty of each 8th and 9th spells (not that I wanted to try and use 9th spells, just noting that too).
Though this might be a good time to mention CC, spell sequencer, spell trigger and the like have a habit of crashing my game every now and then (to the extent I'll QS before every cast).

The obvious question: are you using any mods?

On a related note; I really don't like the new layout for spell books. I would have much preferred taking a more immersive approach by having each page as an actual spell per page. Spell level tabs at the top as they are now and large arrows on either side of the spell book to turn pages and cycle through spells of that level.
I really tried everything, many times and despite what the game displayed at first (it could sometimes show the wrong spells available on your Simulacrum) your clone always had the spell in alphabetical order, and I wouldn't be surprised if it is still working like that.
Example: you have 5 level 2 slots, you choose Mirror Image twice, Blur twice and Invisibility once. If your simulacrum has 3 level 2 spells, no matter the order of spell selection, it will have Blur x2 and Invisibility because they come first in alphabetical order.
I agree it was really useful for Level Drain though.
Guess what happens when it looks for level 8 and 9 priest spells to populate the list.

Even if your clone is a level drained version of you, it doesn't get your spell selection in the same order than you.
How to reproduce : hotkey chain contigency in bg options (im using hotkeys for most spells, life becomes much easier with this) , then enter the game with your mage character ( his lvl or your save doesn't matter ) , sleep for any amount of time, press hotkey which u set up for chain contigency and whoa!

The whole thing is that you dont even need Chain contingency memorized or even learned at all. It can be used at any given time with any character.
