Meridia's Order is a cool mod I wanted to make patches for so I did. Please bother me if you have an issue with my patches not TheOscar0. These patches were made by me ChickenMike and not the original mod authors. All plugins are .ESL flagged .ESPs so they won't take up a place in your load order. I don't think any of these patches require BEES if you're on an older Skyrim version, but Meridia's order requires it anyhow.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU ADD THESE PATCHES TO A NEW GAME. To quote robertgk2017 "Modding is illegal post character start." You might be able to get away with it but this is neither recommended nor supported.
These patches require BEES to function properly on older game versions.
PATCHES
Children of the North Wind - Ruins of the Ancient Nords - Makes the two mods navmeshes work together. This patch is originally by TheOneTrueFuzzBeed and updated by me.
Cities of the North - Winterhold - Moves a bench and some markers so nothing is floating.
The Great Village of Old Hroldan - Moves an NPC and some markers into the cell properly so they aren't out floating in the void and the quest works properly.
Gonzeh - Old Hroldan Inn Re-imagined - Moves an NPC and some markers into the cell properly so they aren't out floating in the void and the quest works properly.
Northern Roads - Fixes floating objects around the sanctuary and adjusts the navmeshes to make it all work slightly better.
Pilgrim - This is a synergy patch between the two mods. It turns all of Meridia's Orders's Meridia statues into activatable Pilgrim shrines. I also added a couple shrines of Mannimarco to some spots I thought appropriate.
Spoiler:
Show
Big thanks to MissileMann for helping me with the activators.
Stendarr's Beacon Enhanced and Ruhmastered - Slight navmesh refinement on Stendarr's beacon as well as some work to make the two navmeshes play nice.
Unofficial Skyrim Modders Patch - Combines the skeleton faction records. This patch is most likely unnecessary if you have a bashed patch but best practice is to double check in xedit.
Wintersun - Faiths of Skyrim - Adds Wintersun Mannimarco shrines to the necromancer lairs in Meridia's Order.
Guard Armor Patches
There is an NPC in Meridia's Order that should be wearing Whiterun guard armor that is not. I have patched several guard armor overhauls as listed below. In the event you do not use a modded armor, or use an armor mod I did not patch, Please use the Meridia's Order Generic Guard Armor patch. This plugin will put him in the vanilla Whiterun guard armor which may or may not work with your replacer depending on how it is set up, but it is better than nothing.
Mods I have patched:
Lollygaggin' - Vanilla Guard Armor Replacer
RMB SPIDified - Guard Armor Replacer
FAQ
Q:What happened to the Hammet's Dungeon Pack 1 SE patch?
A:I removed it because the mod author doesn't allow any patches for their work.
Q:Do these patches work with my game version?
A:As long as you use BEES you should be fine.
Q:Wow these patches sure look complicated to do how did you make them?
A:Truthfully it's not that complicated. It took me like an hour to learn the like an hour to learn the CK and to be honest you should already know how to use SSEedit. Janquel's guide is an invaluable resource and without it I wouldn't have known where to even start. If I can do it you can too!
Q:Why are your screenshots so bad?
A:I literally haven't intentionally taken a screenshot in Skyrim in my over 1600 hours until the week before I uploaded this. I'll get better hopefully.
Q:FOMOD?
A:I did it. I didn't want to but I did.
Q:Do you take patch requests?
A:My primary reason for making patches is personal use but if I can make the patch quickly I'll consider it.
Q:You haven't had any recent activity on GGmods and I need to get a hold of you, how can I do that?
A:@ChickenMike in either Ryn, or Janquel's discords and I should see it. I'm also in a bunch of other discords, but I check those two the most regularly.
Q:Why are you missing so many screenshots?
A:I'm lazy and taking screenshots is super tedious and I hate it.
