What This Mod Does

This mod is a patch compendium with automatic detection to enhance the compatibility and visuals of the trending mod Northern Roads.

⚠ Important Note Concerning Issues with Northern Roads

I- Load Order

Before asking for a patch for a mod because you see broken roads, make sure that the mod in question is loaded above Northern Roads.esp, and that Northern Roads.esp and its patches are loaded at the very bottom of your Load Order.

That way you will fix most of the in-game issues. If some road issues persist after that, then you can suggest a patch for it.

The Load Order should look like this:

> your other mods

> Northern Roads.esp

> Northern Roads - Aspen Ablaze Patch.esp

> Northern Roads - Landscape and Water Fixes (LaWF) Patch.esp

> Northern Roads - Landscape Fixes for Grass Mods (LFFGM) Patch.esp

> Northern Roads - Water for ENB Patch.esp

> Northern Roads - Other individual patches

> Northern Roads - Ryn's Snow-Shod Shadow Stone.esp

> Northern Roads - Other Combo patches

> Northern Roads - Lux Via Patch.esp

> Northern Roads - Lux Via + Combo Patches

> Northern Roads - Lux Via Clutter.esp (don't use alongside Lux Via Patch - NR Bridge from the other collection)

> Northern Roads - Grass Patch.esp

> Northern Roads - Water For ENB (Shades of Skyrim) - Water Patch.esp

II- Engine Fixes

You should be running SSE Engine Fixes and edit its skse/plugins/EngineFixes.toml file to set MaxStdio = 8192.

Having a lower value can cause serious issues such as LODs unloading, MCM JSON errors, and the game reporting it is too unstable.

III Skyrim INIs

To prevent the square landscape issue the mod is known for, apply the following setting in your Skyrim.ini file:

[Display]

fShadowDirectionalBiasScale=0.24

⚠ This patch compendium is still very much a work in progress, so not everything is fixed yet. The most critical issues should be addressed. If you find any problems related to these patches, feel free to inform me.

Additional Information

1. All patches are ESP-FE flagged and will not take a plugin slot in your Load Order.
2. If you use the Terrain Blending feature from ENBSeries v0.480+, you do not need the rock patches.
3. You should load the patches in the same order as the patched mods.
