Cannot Confirm Iron Man Mode: Jewelry Items enhancing Skillson Iron Man

[jsv]

In my current game I'm getting all kinds of skill bonuses from jewelry (taken from dismasted vessels) as well as from idols (taken from native rafts). I thought those are not supposed to work on Iron Man?

Indeed they're not:

  bool SkillBonus = true;
  if (HasSubStr(id, "jewel") || HasSubStr(id, "indian") || HasSubStr(id, "mineral") || id == "chinatiger")
  {
  SkillBonus = iRealismMode<2 && !ITEM_REALISM;       // BB&Sulan: no bonuses - for those who like more realism, to whom a ruby does not grant any fencing skills
  if(iRealismMode>0)     genitm.skill.hidden  = true;   // PB: You do get the bonus on Realistic Game Mode, but you don't get to see it
  }
  if(SkillBonus)
  {
  if ( leadership != 0 )  genitm.skill.leadership = leadership;
  if ( fencing  != 0 )  genitm.skill.fencing  = fencing;
  if ( sailing  != 0 )  genitm.skill.sailing  = sailing;
  if ( accuracy  != 0 )  genitm.skill.accuracy  = accuracy;
  if ( cannons  != 0 )  genitm.skill.cannons  = cannons;
  if ( grappling  != 0 )  genitm.skill.grappling  = grappling;
  if ( repair  != 0 )  genitm.skill.repair  = repair;
  if ( defence  != 0 )  genitm.skill.defence  = defence;
  if ( commerce  != 0 )  genitm.skill.commerce  = commerce;
  if ( sneak  != 0 )  genitm.skill.sneak  = sneak;
  }

iRealismMode = 2 is the Iron Man Mode.

This may not work if the game was started with a different realism mode and it was switched afterwards.
You could try using Reinit (F11) to update the item initialization.

That might be the case. I was switching back and forth between the modes to check that worldmap stuttering.
Not a bug, then... or not much of a bug

I did tried f11, it didn't seem to help.

To double-check, I started a new Assassin game on Iron Man Mode.
Gave myself "book1" and "chinatiger" through console.
I got Melee + 1 from my sword, Grappling + 2 from Black Bart's Bumper Book of Boarding, but NOT Accuracy + 2 from the China Tiger.
So I think this still works.

Of course the game allows switching Difficulty and Realism Modes in mid-game. Mostly those switches work, but not in all ways.
Starting game on Realistic, then switching to Arcade also makes for RIDICULOUS ship handling, for example.
