I've been using this mod in oldrim for quite some time and like it far better than any of the other similiar mods. I totally agree with much that is said here about the behavior of the Blades and the entire way the vanilla story was shaped. Even before I became better aquainted with the lore of the elderscrolls I really disliked the way the parthanaax story was handled and this mod made it all better. If anyone is going to port this to sse I would certainly be interested in a copy. Ideally a200500 will port this himself, but somehow I don't think that is going to happen. And yes this is the best parthanaax mod by far. I have tried porting some mods to sse and they seem to work but I have not tested any of them to see if it works properly. Is seems to be super easy and anyone can do it for themselves. Simply open the mod in the ck and activate the esp you want. then click yes to all and save when it is done. Close CK. Mod is now ready. At least that is what I have been doing. Like I said I have not really tested this yet, but so far everything I have looked at has been ok.
Edit: Nov 23 2019I have by this point tested this mod and it works perfectly in SSE when you change it from form 43 (Skyrim LE) to form 44 (Skyrim Special Edition) using the method above. In addition, that method works with most oldrim mods for converting the esp. Converting any assets is still required and I recommend using Cathedral Assets Optimizer: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/23316. Some mods with facegen will require extra export from the Creation Kit, but most mods work fine without that extra step. To find out how just google it.
Unfortunately, the author has restricted the use of this file in other games, so you will have to port it for yourself
Very great mod, much better than "The Paarthurnax Dilemma" mod in my opinion. Finally I get a choice in this matter The best thing is that I have the option of killing that annoying and impudent Delphine!
Curiously, even Parrthy agrees with the Blades that you should kill him, because its the nature of dragons to seek control and domination over those weaker than themselves. So why all the hate against the Blades?
But then, I do like the idea of the mod. Clean and simple; I hate when the "plot train" requires only one solution to a mission.
Paarthurnax never agreed with the blades in him being killed. He agrees with them that they shouldn't trust him, because he wouldn't trust another dovah, because of (as you already said) the nature of dragons to dominate over others. However he also said that he was able to overcome his dominating nature through meditation and study of the way of the voice.
He concludes the conversation with his famous quote: "What is better - to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?"
To answer your question: "Why all the hate against the Blades?"
Well I guess everyone here has his/her own reasons as to why to hate them. But the most logical and lore-related reason would be because the Blades (Delphine and Esbern) didn't even consider to speak with him about his past. They look at all the things which he did in his past and primarily focus on his crimes and attempt to play down all the good things he did, which were very significant in fact. He was pretty much the dragon leader of the rebellion against Alduins tyranny, once he realized that Alduin reign was a reign of evil. Paarthurnax was also the one who taught the mortals how to use the Thu'um. This later led to the creation of dragonrend, the shout that the ancient nords created as their weapon against the dragons. So without Paarthurnax, Alduin would probably still be the lord of terror that he once was.
So Esbern and Delphine are very one-sided on this issue and they claim that killing Paarthurnax is rightful justice. That makes them seem very arrogant as they aren't the arbiters of justice.
The last reason as to why one would hate the blades is that they are very bloodthirsty, including the blades of the past. Paarthurnax even calls them "Bruniikke" which means "Savages" in the dragon language, implying the fact that they killed countless dragons in the past. They spared no one, not even those who rebelled against Alduin. From a neutral standpoint, that doesn't make them better than the dragons they killed, since they are equally bloodthirsty and they have let their lust for vengeance drive them. They also tried to kill Paarthurnax in the past, as Esbern said that "The blades have been hunting him for centuries, however he was protected by the Greybeards and later protected by the emperors." Arngeir also said that "By killing Paarthurnax, you would deny his chance for repentance."
Well all of these are plenty reasons to hate the blades I think. I hope this answers your question

Thank you so much
an endorsement for you
All you need to do is go find them and slay them. But it only works after you learn the name of Odahviing from Esbern.
But then, I do like the idea of the mod. Clean and simple; I hate when the "plot train" requires only one solution to a mission.
