General
These patches are for Horizon 1.8 and have not been tested with Horizon 1.9. It is likely most, if not all of these patches need to be updated for Horizon 1.9. You may use these patches as a starting point for patching the original mods for Horizon 1.9. Please give me credit if you do and let me know so I can point people to the updated patch
The mods on this page are some of my favorites, but require some tweaking to work well with Horizon.
These patches remedy the situation by doing the following:
- Add icon/sorting tags to new items
- Move constructible items to either the Tech Lab or Weapons Lab to declutter the Chem Station
- Adjust crafting recipes to match Horizon's standards
- Adjust new food/drink/junk items to match Horizon's standards (effects/values/junk components)
- Adjust Leveled Lists to include Horizon items and appropriate amounts of items
- Adjust Armor / Clothing / Weapons to fit Horizon's standards
- Adjust NPC stats to fit Horizon's standards
More detailed change logs available in the spoiler below the mod name.
For your convenience (almost) all patch plugins are tagged as light (ESL flag). They will not count towards the plugin limit.
If you are looking for SKK mod patches for Horizon I have a collection of them HERE
Notes:
- Just because all these mods have been patched does NOT mean I necessarily recommend using all of them together. Please check the original mod's page for compatibility information
- These patches are balanced to desolation-ish standards. Meaning items may be a bit sparse for standard Horizon, but not as brutal as true desolation mode. Some locations may still need some tweaking. If you find any locations with too much loot for the challenge please let me know.

All of these patches require the original mod and Horizon v1.8. They do not include any of the quests, scripts, or other assets necessary for the mods to function.
