Optional SKK OpenWorld F76 Patch considerations:

• New as of v4.2 SKK Openworld detection (NPC protection), is integrated in the mod and the F76 patch is no longer needed. This was tested with v 55 and upwards of the SKK mod.
• The F76 patch modifies NPC records touched by the main file, as such any
  another patch that modifies the same record(s() will conflict (whichever
  patch loaded lower in the load order will win). This patch is not needed for v4.2 and beyond

• The Mechanist Lair patch completes the quests associated with the Mechanist
  Lair and allows Isabel Cruz to function correctly as a settler. This patch is required when running SKK Openworld with Recruitable NPCs and plan to recruit Isabel.
• The F76 patches must be loaded before enabling SKK Openworld.  The SKK mod
  can be installed along with the patches but the patches will most likely
  fail if installed after SKK Openworld is enabled.
