EMD doesn't work well with Dragons Diversified due to them editing the same vanilla dragons and completely different balance designs (DD is more balanced for Vanilla while EMD is more hardcore). DCA and Deadly Dragons work well with all dragon mods. With a straight up batch patch, you will get all the dragons from Dragons Diversified, Deadly Dragons, and EMD, but the EMD ones will be the strongest. If you load Dragons Diversified after EMD, most named vanilla dragons and the ones from the main quest with get DD abilities. If you load EMD after DD those same dragons will get EMD abilities and increased health.
Ok I sorta got it. I understand that Deadly Dragons is meant to increase difficulty and so is EMD. All mods (except DCO) add new dragons to their game. I'm not as concerned about difficulty being cohesive as I am about actually getting all the dragons in the game. I don't want one to be blocking dragons from the other from spawning etc.
Also, I joined this community after Dragonborn was released so I have no experience with Dragons Diversified. Until this patch released I avoided using it because it was incompatible with Dragonborn DLC. I'm starting a new game now with a different set of mods and would like to try Dragons Diversified.
Maybe I will just get rid of EMD because I've played with it so much. Deadly Dragons and DCO are must have for me though.
Well, if you don't care about cohesion in difficulty, then go for it. Just remember, DD below EMD, vanilla dragons with DD abilities. EMD below DD, vanilla dragons with EMD abilities and other buffs.
How does this play with Enhanced mighty Dragons, Deadly Dragons, and Dragon Combat Overhaul.
I am most concerned about Enhanced mighty dragons. What would be the ideal way to set up a patch for this in WryeBash. I never know when to add Add/Relev tags when it's not automatic.

Another very useful patch from you, thanks. Since you made a habit to make Skyrim a better game, can I make a request? There are 2 patches that are very needed and for some reason noone made them yet: 1. Xvision Children Redone patch for Expanded Towns and Cities. 2. Xvision Children Redone patch for Populated Cities 2. Wyrmstooth also need XCR patch.
Ive been waiting for someone to make those for a long time. Ungly kids are just ruining immersion but Im too used to ETAC and PC2 to let them go. And I cant make patches myself. Maybe you can. Many people would appreciate it.
Dude, thank you man. I actually quit playing skyrim because Dragons Diversified broke the game for me after Dragonborn. But now, I can play to my hearts content. High five, endourcements.
Nice to see someone still has some love for Dragons Diversified! I haven't used it in ages, but I'd like to. Does anyone know how Dragons Diversified plays with Deadly Dragons, Enhanced Mighty Dragons and Dragon Combat Overhaul these days?

Aside from that, this mod is pretty damn epic.
