I can't craft leather from deer hide with Skyrim Requiem

I've got the latest version of Skyrim with all DLC. When I load just Requiem alone (no other mods), I cannot craft leather from deer hide-- though I can craft it from leather armor. If I disable the mod, I can. I haven't found any patch or fix that repairs this.

How can I fix this?

Without the basic smithing perk you cannot craft most items. Once you buy the crafting manual from a smith you will be able to spend a perk in smithing (you cannot put a perk in smithing without the manual in your inventory). Once you have the basic perk you will be able to craft leather as per usual.

You need to get the required smithing perk and the crafting journal which you can buy from most merchants.
