DESCRIPTION
Kaidan 2 implements a player home for your character and Kaidan to live in called "Autumnwatch Lodge". There is a campsite, Wood Cutter's Camp: Lake Geir, that occupies an area near the lodge, but it is overtaken by the lodge and has overlapping records in xEdit. As a result, the campsite is disabled when Autumnwatch Lodge is enabled, and vice versa. Now here's the tricky part: there's a quest that involves the camp called "Fan Favorite" which is included in a Creation Club, Alternate Armors - Dwarven Mail. It adds a dead Bosmer simply named "Arena Fan" as well as a bed roll. These two additions assume the campsite, removing the dead Orc Woodcutter in the vanilla game but leaving the rest of the campsite untouched. Kaidan 2, a mod that explicitly loads after said CC's ESL plugin, still touches the objects and NPCs placed in the campsite in order to disable the area when the lodge is enabled (by default) as mentioned before. This results the very camp, except for the dead Bosmer and the bed roll from the CC, to disappear. When you try to disable the lodge, however, it reverts the camp to its vanilla (a.k.a. pre-AE / pre-CC) state, re-enabling the dead Orc Woodcutter from the vanilla when it's not supposed per the CC's changes. The Woodcutter's body overlap with the Arena Fan's body, making it difficult to loot the dead Bosmer of his journal for the quest. Meanwhile, when the camp is disabled, the dead Bosmer will float, thinking that the now-disabled stump he once lied is still there.
COMPATIBILITY
Since this is just a small patch, it should be compatible with any other mods. So far, all Autumnwatch Lodge overhauls out there doesn't touch the Woodcutter's Camp itself, but just the lodge for the most obvious reason: it only concerns the player home. But mods that occupy the campsite and could be unrelated to Kaidan 2, like Interesting NPCs, might not be compatible. I personally don't use the mod so I can't know if it actually touches any existing objects in the campsite other than adding a follower who would reside in that area.

F.A.Q.
What is this patch exactly?
It removes the edits made by Liv for Kaidan 2 regarding the nearby unmarked campsite from the Autumnwatch Lodge, in order to patch the area for the Alternative Armors CC quest.
Are there any prerequisites before installing this mod?
You must have both Kaidan 2 and the Anniversary Edition Upgrade (or at least the Dwarven Mail CC) installed to your game. It is written in the Requirements for this patch mod above. Please read it.
Up to when can I install/uninstall this patch?
With both the mod and CC installed, hopefully never uninstall it. But you should be fine installing whenever. And if you decide to uninstall either, I guess you can uninstall this patch as well.
Could you also do a patch for this mod, or that mod?
Unfortunately, I can't. Not for now. This was initially a personal patch until I realized I don't know how to. So I had ask people from Discord servers to help me out. It took my sweet time generating this patch, so I decided to upload it here on Nexus Mods for everyone to use.
*Meanwhile, in the Posts section...* HELP, HELP! BUG, THERE'S A BUG!
I encourage you to post them in the Bugs tab instead. Right now, the only bug I know of is a visual one: the blood splatter decals of the Orc Woodcutter remained in the CC for the Arena Fan, but with this patch, it seems to remove that. I don't know, yet, how to fix it.
