Compatibility patches : V

» Fri Jul 27, 2012 3:18 am

So compatibility patches... How do you make them, is it tough? can you do it in the creation kit? do you need some kind of scripting knowledge etc?

I would like to use
SkyRe
Lorecraft
Jaysus Swords
Immersive Armours
Cloaks of Skyrim
Winter is Comng
Tribunal robes set
and Project reality

and if it's not too much of a big job, bigger overhauls such as Skyrim Monster Mod, Warzones, Pise and Tytanis

Most of those mods already have compatibility patches, check their respective pages and/or do a search on Nexus. I've seen some reports of people having trouble with SkyRe + Lorecraft + other Lorecraft stuff, however, I believe that is being worked on.

SkyRe also has a file in the downloads section that illustrates how to make patches for SkyRe.

If you mean to add them to levelled lists, I'd use Wrye Bash. It will automatically create a patch for you, but be warned, it can be confusing to use at first. If not, what aspects do you need to make compatible?

Many of those you can use together without any effort and with a little help from a Bashed Patch. It only starts to get complicated when you want the bigger ones like Tytanis and Skyre to work together.

Well, I'm not going to lie to you, it's a hell of a job to make sure that the two mods don't break when used together. It took months and years to get FCOM (The biggest compatibility patch that I have ever seen) to get in a state of semi-perfection.

I've been working on getting these mods to work together recently. Just search for Lorecraft on the nexus to find all of the patches. I've loaded all of my Lorecraft patches after SkyRe. The SkyRe-Immersive Armors plugin is apparently out of date and my game seems to work fine so far without it. My load order looks like this if it helps. I haven't run into any issues as of yet:
