Changelogs
Version 1.0.2.1
TES5Edit wasn't as clever as I thought, and retained Form 44 (SE) structures inside the Form 43 (LE) ESP file, so I had to fix all that manually. Not CERTAIN it would have caused problems in LE, but better safe than sorry.
Version 1.0.2
Initial backport release (with same version number as the SE original).
This is a Skyrim LE backport of the mod "Nilheim BQ Fix" by the prolific tarlazo (with permission).
Original mod description:
What it does: The Nilheim bandits can respawn and, after the Telrav quest, behave like normal brigands. Console-addicted players might as well skip this.

I also took the liberty of renaming the crooks to "Bandit" right from the start; setting up a quest just to rename them later felt like a waste of game resources [and a possible source of conflicts]. I know they're supposed to be "Guard" to cleverly deceive the clueless player who approaches the tower without getting the quest from Telrav but... they live in what's obviously a bandit camp, "guarding" a few corpses most likely thrown from the tower; they're supposed to be Telrav's guards but don't even bother looking for him while he's 50 meters away and the "wounded" Telrav doesn't bother to give them a holler and ask for help, he needs your help ... the game's afoot, Watson. Instead of awkward guards, they'll be bandits taking a break between banditing shifts.
The Unofficial Patch isn't required but it fixes errors in the Telrav quest. Better have that, too.

Install like any other mod, with a mod manager or manually. Use LOOT to sort load order.
It is recommendable to use Merge Plugins Script for TES5Edit, the Merge Plugins stand-alone app, or the zMerge feature of zEdit to merge these two Nilheim patches along with other minor mods, to save mod slots in your load order.
Users of "Lawbringer", and perhaps other mods that permit the seizing of bandit strongholds, will not need this patch, at least not after seizing Nilheim. If "Lawbringer" is working right, it should disable Nilheim as a radiant-quest bandit location after you take it. Such users may still want "Nilheim - Misc Quest Expansion" for their first encounter with the location.
There are no known compatibility issues to patch for. If one arises, it will probably be with a sweeping "bandit overhaul" mod. Actually, mods (there are at least two) that turn Nilheim into a player home could also conflict, and should load after this mod at the very least (depending on what they are doing, this may or may not get rid of the bandit respawn after you take over the tower).
Boilerplate
Thanks to tarlazo for the original mod. I (Darklocq) add no restrictions of any kind to this backport; it simply has the same permissions as the original (quoted above), and any permission requests should go to tarlazo not to me.
