This is a re-release of Unofficial Skyrim City Patch (abandoned in 2017), with bug/compatibility fixes and now new features. It is a mod that fixes a slew of problems in three cities of Skyrim:
* Whiterun (exterior and interiors, including Dragonsreach)
* Riverwood (exterior and interiors)
* Riften (exterior and some interiors; removes invisible grass that contributed to Riften's terrible frame rate).
Fixes include: houses floating above the ground; chimneys not emitting smoke; invisible underground rocks and other junk being rendered and slowing the framerate; incorrect alignment of light sources with fire pits, windows, houses, etc.; mis-placed/misaligned objects, "fixes" by USLEP that were not actual fixes or not quite good enough; removes hidden grass from Riften (the crashiest and most system-stressing city in the game); adds objects that actually belong; fixes worldspace seam problems that allowed looking into "the void"; and much more. Over 10,000 tweaks mostly by the Master of Patience, DDVIL.
Eine deutsche Version ist jetzt verfügbar (a German version is now available).
Bunun Türkçe versiyonu artık mevcut (a Turkish version is now available).
More fixes in this new edition:
* 1.6.6: Stupid me; I zipped up the old version in 1.6.5; 1.6.6 has the wild edits fixes for real. Sorry about that.
* 1.6.5: Removes some "wild edits" (empty cell records and missing formIDs); thanks to RenaPG.
* 1.6.4: Removes broken occlusion culling in Honeyside's basement; thanks to Drift91.
* 1.6.3: Fixes clipping of chests in Faringar's room, Dragonsreach, Whiterun.
* 1.6.3: Added patch for "Immersive Content - Realistic Outdoor Lights" (as separate download).
* 1.6.2b: Fixes clipping of cabinets under Jarl Balgruf's desk in Dragonsreach.
* 1.6.2b: Masters cleaned. Mod renamed slightly.
* 1.6.1b: Better compatibility with "Skyrim Project Optimization" (may not be complete compatibility; needs testing).
* 1.6.0: Home and tavern fires no longer damage NPCs.
* 1.6.0: Wall/floor flickering problems in Dragonsreach, especially with "ELFX - Interior", should be resolved. This does not necessarily guarantee full compatibility with "ELFX - Interior"; the original mod was not designed to be compatible with it.

Original Mod's Description
Requirements and Installation
This requires "Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch" (USLEP or USLeEP).
That in turn requires all three of the DLCs.
The original "Unofficial Skyrim City Patch" is not required; this version is a replacement of it. But feel free to download and endorse it.
Install like any other mod, either with a mod manager or manually. Mod manager users should remove the original mod first if installed. Manual installers should overwrite an existing Unofficial Skyrim City Patch Modified.esm, if present.
Also remove, if present, both "Unofficial Riverwood Fix - Interior and Exterior Cells" (Unofficial Riverwood Fix.esp) and "Unofficial Riften Fix" (R I F T E N Fix 2.1.esp); those are old versions of 2/3 of this mod.
I would suggest putting this, in your load order, shortly after USLEP along with other game-wide patches like "Skyrim Supplemental Patch" and "Unofficial Skyrim Modders Patch". This is where LOOT puts it automatically.
Known Compatibility
The following have been tested at least to some extent, accepting LOOT's load order:
Fix-it Mods:
* "Unofficial Skyrim Limited Edition Patch" (USLEP or USLeEP) - Compatible and actually required.
* "Unofficial Skyrim Patch", "Unofficial Dawnguard Patch", "Unofficial Hearthfire Patch", "Unofficial Dragonborn Patch" - Not compatible. These are obsolete and replaced by USLEP. If for some dumb reason you are desperate to use them anyway, there's an iffy converter, "USLEEP Swap Masters Script". Try that at your own risk; I'm not going to offer support for it.
* "Skyrim Project Optimization" (SPO) - Compatible. The one known conflict has been fixed in this version.
* "Skyrim Supplemental Patch" (SSP) - Compatible.
* "Skyrim Exterior Fixes" (SEF) - Compatible.
* "Cutting Room Floor" (CRF) - Compatible.
* "Quest Conflict Fixes" (QCF) - Compatible.
* "Unofficial Skyrim Modders Patch" (USMP) - Compatible.
Fortunately, all of this sort of mod are intended to work with each other.
Lighting Mods:
* "Relighting Skyrim" (RS) - Compatible but will remove some USCP light sources; part of the goal seems to be a darker Skyrim with less random ambient light, and instead light coming selectively from known sources. Should not be used at the same time as ICROL, below.
* "TESLight Skyrim LE" - Both mods add light sources to the same cells, which leads to surface flickering and excessive brightness. Could be made compatible by patching to remove the lights added by one mod or the other in the affected cities.
* "Immersive Content - Realistic Outdoor Lights" (ICROL) - Requires compatibility patch; see "Optional Files" section of USCP's Files page. Should not be used with RS or TESLight, above.
* "Vivid Weathers" (VW) - No known issues so far.
* "Enhanced Lights and FX" (ELFX) - USCP is not compatible with "ELFX - Exterior". Compatibility with "ELFX - Interior" is uncertain; at least one conflict between the two mods has been fixed, but this doesn't guarantee all of them have. There are likely to be additional issues; ELFX is kind of its own thing and requires a lot of patching to work with other stuff.
Unfortunately, most mods of this sort are incompatible with each other; they're all trying to do the same thing. So don't try to run RS, TESLight, and ICROL at the same time, or run multiple weathers mods at once, unless the mods say that's okay and provide patches for specific combinations. Even then, if they mess with city lighting sources, there may be problems, including with USCP.
Place Overhaul Mods:
* "Expanded Towns and Cities" (ETaC) - Reported to be compatible.
* "Open Cities" (OC) - Will conflict. In theory, if OC loads later, it will not matter, because it will replace the entire city exterior. But this has not been tested.
* "Palaces and Castles Enhanced" (PCE) - Reported to have missing walls/floors in Dragonsreach. It is possible that the "ELFX - Interior" and "Skyrim Project Optimization" patching made in this version also resolved this problem for PCE, but this has not been tested.
* "Skyrim Radioactive" (SR) - Same as with PCE, above.
Unfortunately, any mod that radically changes any location covered by USCP is generally not going to be compatible with USCP.
Other Mods:
The only known incompatibilities are:
* "Blacksmith Forge Water Fix" (Balimund's trough is not in the same place, so the new water added for it does not line up with it).
* "Riften Temple Sconce Fix LE" (both that mod and USCP implement different fixes for the same visual problem).
* "Palaces and Castles Enhanced" (occlusion-plane problems in various places).
* "Skyrim Radioactive Interiors" (occlusion-plane problems in various places).
Unknown Compatibility:
"Street Cleaning - City FPS Helper" - Someone please test them together and report the results.
Permissions and Credits
I impose no restrictions of any kind on this, and the original had none either.
The first Unofficial Skyrim City Patch was by DDVIL. Specific fixes integrated into this version were worked out by TagerJharn, MatthHunter, and Shakarian2154 in the Posts and Bugs sections of the original mod's Nexus page. All these named users who still have accounts receive an equal portion of the Nexus Mod Rewards/Donation Points for this mod. DDVIL has also been made a manager of this mod at Nexus, in case they come back around. DDVIL also credited (for unspecified help) Sthaagg, sirjesto, LucidAPS, CyborgArmGun, and Craigdkilner. Some potential credit is also possibly due toward Arthmoor and the rest of the USKP/USLEP team, as USCP fixes some of the same things USLEP attempted to fix, just differently (but USLEP or USKP before it may have first identified them as problems to fix). All images used are by DDVIL, from the original mod page.
