After my entire Skyrim install blew up I decided to just start from scratch using "The Method." This page is for things that aren't patches that allow two mods to work together but rather additional plugins to tweak/fix things or plugin replacers. It also doubles as a place to condense my mod pages for little stuff. 


Ayleid Crystal Saber - I found it weird that you can only open this chest if you find the key for it. Ostensibly this is fun but I wanted an alternative route so I made the lock on the chest pickable. The chest will still open with the key of course. 

CotN- Falkreath Addon- Minotaur Trophy - If you look at the minotaur head from the wrong angle you can see straight through the mesh so I pushed it back further into the wall. 

COTN Winterhold - Due to the landscape changes in this mod, there are some floating icicles and rubble in the gorge between the city and the college. This plugin will disable the floating icicles and move the rubble so it is no longer randomly floating out of the ground. I sent these changes to JPSteel2 so hopefully this gets fixed in the base mod at some point. 

Interesting NPCs - Godrod worships the ground Ulfric walks on. He also thinks that Ulfric is literally Talos so I thought it seemed appropriate for him to have an amulet. This plugin is unchanged from a previous version on another page

Ivarstead Bridge - A Tiny Northern Roads Edit - An ESPFE that disables a floating shield caused by this mod being built against an older version of Northern Roads.

Giant Crab Shells- Mihail's Shards of Immersion - Mihail made a cool mod with some giant crab shells. Unfortunely, these giant shells directly intersect navmesh so NPCs will just walk into them. I added navcut boxes to them so that will no longer happen. 

Requiem of The Brotherhood (MOD JAM VERSION) - This mod has some overlapping occlusion planes inside interior cells that can cause crashes. I just moved the planes around so they are no longer overlapping and added some new planes to compensate for those that I moved. 

Ryn's Bleakwind Basin - Ryn added a giant boss to the location who drops no loot. I gave him the same inventory that other giants have. It is possible this change gets overwritten by a bashed patch so best practice is to double check in xedit. 

Ryn's Mistwatch Folly - I disabled the two floating pieces of rubble. If you're using Ryn's Mistwatch Folly - Tower Consistency my plugin needs to load after it. 

 
Plugin replacers are entirely different than secondary .esp files. They literally replace the data of the original mod. You can think of them as unofficial updates to just the plugin of the origional mod. Any other files included in the original mod (meshes, textures, scripts et cetera) other than the plugin are still required for the mod to function properly. If the underlying mod updates then there will likely be weirdness with plugin replacers. This was the source of the often misdiagnosed issue where the Environs - Hroggar's House and Cities of the North - Morthal patch would lead to CTDs if you were also using Rob's Bug Fixes - COTN Morthal because the bug fix was based on a previous version of COTN. In other words, they have the potential to break patches. The advantages of plugin replacers are that they allow users other than the original uploader to .esl or .esm flag the plugin, clean the plugin to reduce its conflict surface and deal with a variety of navmesh issues including optimizations and deleted navmeshes. It is worth noting that changing the flag on a plugin on a game in progress is a sure fire way to cause CTDs. Plugin replacers are also considered theft if they are uploaded with incorrect permissions in nexus TOS which makes dealing with them hairy for mod authors. Any plugin replacers I upload here were uploaded with permission from the original mod authors.
Q:FOMOD?
A:Currently there is only like 5 plugins on this page so no. If it gets more unwieldy I'll make one but I hate making FOMODs so I'm going to put it off as long as possible. 

Q:Do these plugins work with my game version?
A:They should, but best practice is to use BEES.

Q:Do you take requests?
A:My primary reason for making tweaks like these is personal use but if I can make it quickly or you can convince me I need it for myself, I'll consider it. 

Q:You haven't had any recent activity on Nexus 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.
