Non-cluttered object highlights

Note that what I am sharing here was not created by me. It was created by @argent77.

If you want to remove the clutter from highlighting, this gem is for you. @argent77 created this and I want to make sure it is not lost to the community because it is hidden on a different mod (https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/64524/mod-reveal-hidden-gameplay-options-for-all-ee-games-patched-to-v2-0-or-higher/p6 almost half way down the page as an attachment called A7-NoCreatureTooltip-v1).

This file has two components:
1) The first component removes all but the PC tooltip.
I have found that you can install this last with no ill effects (also easy to remove if you want tooltips back).
2) The second component removes the PC tooltip from save games.
All "new game" starts going forward will need to have the second component run to remove the tooltip from the PC. Note that I mean when you start a new game you must run the second component on a save. Once you load a save with the removed tooltip, then all future saves are good.

EDIT: I play the game now with the auto highlighting almost always on so I can see all interaction items.

EDIT: If you want to see a tooltip on a creature/NPC with this mod installed, simply turn off the auto highlighting and then hover will display the tooltip so you can see a creature/NPC name.

You can uninstall the mod the same as any other Weidu mod.

Again, thanks Agent77 for something you quickly whipped up, but I think is great!

    And here is a SoD with highlighting turned on. No blur of tooltips hiding everything.
