  The file uploaded as P1.7 was not properly updated, so this version corrects that.
Version P1.7
- ## [P1.7] - 2018-11-09
  
  ### Changed
  
  1. Holds Unofficial Patch:
  (a) Modified the Lock List used in The Chapel of Arkay (The House of Arkay in vanilla Skyrim) in Falkreath to include the newly-introduced NPCs from Holds.
  (b) Added the Inn Keeper in The Chewie Snack to the appropriate Faction.
  
  2. CACO Compatibility Patch:
  (a) Some of the CELL records were not correctly forwarded from Unofficial Patch. They are now properly incorporated.
  
  3. IWill Useless Interiors & Scottish Bannered Mare Compatibility Patches:
  (a) A minor fix from USLEEP has been incorporated.
Version P1.6
- ## [P1.6] - 2018-10-18
  
  ### Added
  
  1. Compatibility Patches for the following mods have been added.
  
  (a)Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/69306):
  - CACO places some items in the world of Skyrim. Without this patch you cannot obtain these items with Holds installed.
  - This patch goes beyond that. It distributes new food, Alchemy ingredients, etc. from CACO to the towns and cities modified by Holds. The bakers and butcheres will now sell a variety of items added by CACO, and so on. Visiting the new shops is fun now.
  - Requires Holds Unofficial Patch.
  
  (b)Solitude Exterior Add On (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/37063)
  - Moves Risad's Kahjit Caravan tents to avoid clipping issue.
  
  (c)The Useless Shop and Interior Overhaul (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/61237) or The Scottish Bannered Mare (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/57291)
  - Makes the basement area in the Bannered Mare added by Holds accesible with both mods installed
  
  2. Introducing "Optional Patches".
  - These patches are meant to be used with Holds and several other popular mods, although they're by no means required.
  You may or may not install them if you wish to further enhance your gameplay with Holds.
  - Made it easier to be merged into your own merged Holds patch.
  
  (a) Clothings and Clutter Fixes:
  - Changes the values and names of the new clothing & clutter items added by Holds. These changes are done in a similar way CCF changes the vanilla items.
  - Makes Ireleth wear Holds-origin outfit instead of CCF's Elven armour set.
  - Makes several new NPCs added by Holds wear the new outfits added by CCF.
  
  (b) Dynamic Things Enhanced:
  - Dynamic Things replaces a lot of useess, static crates and barrels with lootable containers.
  While I like its functions, it has bothered me that in it also removes the snowy shaders applied on some of the crates found in snowy regions. In my opinion this hugely affects how settlements overhauled by Holds are supposed to look.
  Dawnstar in particullar has a lot of crates and barrels, and DTE replaces them with non-snowy version of them.
  This Optional Patch makes it so that Dynamic Things will not replace the snow-covered variants of crates, barrels, and wood piles found in Dawnstar and other towns & settlements modified by Holds.
  Install it if you'd like. Like I said it's completely optional.
  
  3. Holds Unofficial Patch:
  - Developed by Sette with intent to fix some minor issues found in Holds.esp.
  - Even though this patch was not developed by the chief author Galandil, Sette highly recommends this patch to everyone who plays Holds the City Overhaul. The patch contains a number of fixes and improvements which you may or may not notice.
  But they are by no means inconsequential fixes. In my opinion this is a small update Holds needed. But there are a few minor changes that maybe considered as Sette's "personal touch".
  - Needs to be loaded after all of the other compatibility patches EXCEPT the Holds - CACO Compatibility patch. The CACo patch needs to be loaded after Holds Unofficial Patch.
  - DO NOT TRY TO CLEAN THIS PATCH
  
  (a) Adds Location data with appropriate keywords and LocationRefs to all of the new interior cells added by Holds. Some of them already had Location data, but were assigned incorrect keywords. This change will allow Thieves Guild radiant quests to be available in new houses and shops added by Holds, vanilla World Interaction events to take place in the new shops and inns, and so on.
  If you are a user of popular mods such as I Am Customer Damnit, Immersive World Encounters, Trade Routes, The Notice Board and so on, this change will be even more beneficial.
  
  (b) Makes a small change to the interior design in The Solitude Public Baths in Solitude. Subtle lighting and FX improvements, mainly.
  
  (c) Several miscellanious back-end fixes for Faction records mainly used by the new merchants.
  
  (d) The Chapel of Arkay in Falkreath is reverted to public space just like in vanilla.
  
  (e) Adds ambient sounds in Solitude Docks District.
  
  (f) Changes the music used in Solitude Entrance Tunnel from MUSDungeonFort to MUSTownsTest.
  
  (g) Assigns ownerships to misc items and containers lying around in Dawnstar, Falkreath, Solitude Docks District, Solitude Walkway, and Windhelm.
  
  (h) 1 tiny typo fix for the item "Letter"
  
  (i) The WIP Pelagius Wing Basement is no longer accesible through The Blue Palace Basement.
  
  (j) A couple of NPCs were added to appropriate Factions.
  
  (k) The merchants in the new interior cells will now sell the items displayed in their shops.
  
  (l) Several merchats who bought/sold wrong kinds of items have been fixed. Now the bakers will only buy/sell food items, and so on.
  
  (m) The new WorldSpaces Solitude Walkway and Solitude Dock Districts weren't marked as "small world" as they should be.
  
  (n) Several new Armor and Clothing items have been given new names, new values, new keywords that are not only more appropriate, but also in compliance with Weapons and Armors Fixes Remade.
  
  (o) COCMarkers have been added to all of the Vanilla interior cells modified by Holds. This will make sure Player gets teleported successfully when they try to use COC console command to move to these interior cells.
  
  (p) Merged a few, not all, fixes made by USLEEP to avoid conflicts with Holds USLEEP Compatibility Patch.
  
  ### Changed
  
  1. Atlas Legendary Compatibility Patch:
  - Added a Map Marker to Solitude Docks District and Solitude Walkway.
  - Fixed and improved the patch's functonality to work better with Atlas Legendary's MCM.
  
  2. Bells of Skyrim Compatibility Patch:
  - Fixed a minor object placement issue.
  
  3. Legacy of the Dragonborn Compatibility Patch:
  - Updated for the latest version of the mod.
  - Fixed an issue for users who install this patch in mid-game with Moonpath to Elsweyr quest. The carriage will be properly placed outside Falkreath even if you install this patch in mid-game.
  - Do not install this patch if you're in the middle of the first introduction quest that takes you to Elsweyr, "By the Light of Moonlight". Install it before starting the quest or after finishing it.
  
  4. Notice Board Compatibility Patch:
  - Completely rewrote 1 note found in The Notice Board in Solitude. The note refers to a public bathhouse in Solitude, and now it's written by the owner of The Solitude Public Bathhouse added by Holds.
  - If you use Holds Unofficial Patch, you will now be able to meet Mercenaries in Town Halls and Banks where the Notice Boards are located and start the quest "Help the Mercenaries".
  
  5. VIGILANT Compatibility Patch:
  - The patch was localized in Japanese as it was made before the English version came out. Now it's localized in English.
  
  6. JK's Skyrim lite and Dawn of Skyrim Lite Compatibility Patch
  - It was included in another bundle of patches called "Cities Compatibility Patches" but from this version and on it's included in here, to make the installation process to be not overly complicated.
  
  7. Minor back-end fixes to the Compatibility Patches for the following patches. Mostly cleaned up master files and incorporated some minor USLEEP changes.

  <Changes to existing patches>
  
  1. Moonpath to Elsweyr patch: I must say the mod Moonpath to Elsweyr has a lot of issues. I have modified the first quest "The Light of the Moon" so that it would start and progress properly, in order to make sure that our compatibility patch allows it to function with Holds installed.
  
  If you can't talk to the Khajiits you should save your game and load it again so that the dialogue options may appear.
  
  Also I incorporated the typo fix byJoseph Russell. (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/51556/?)
  
  2. Realistic Room Rental Enhanced patch: Fixed an issue with the patch not being properly installed.

Here you can find all of the Compatibility Patches for Holds The City Overhaul
created and published by Galandil.

You can find detailed descriptions in regards to what these Patches do to your game and how to use them.

If you have any questions regarding compatibility with Holds, please use the forum here rather than the main forum of Holds.

+ Holds Complete & Modular +

All of the compatibility patches you can download here are compatible with Holds Complete; they do not work with Holds Modular Edition. I do hope to start working on compatibility patches for Modular Edition hopefully sometime soon, although it would mean an immense workload for me to make compatibility patch variations for dozens of modules. In other words, until I can find enough time to work on them, the patches for Holds modular edition would not be possible.

I am however, open to anyone willing to help me in this process. Shoot me a PM if you're skilled at xEdit.

+ NEW in P1.6...Holds Unofficial Patch+

yes, there is Holds USLEEP Patch AND Holds Unofficial Patch. Sorry if it's confusing, so let me clarify this:
Holds Unofficial Patch is a new addition in P1.6 version.
This patch corrects many issues I (Sette) found in the original mod, Holds.esp. Therefore it hasn't involved anyone else in its making, hence the naming of Unofficial Patch.

The list of fixes and improvements included in this Unofficial patch can be found in the section below.

TL;DR
If you want to fully immerse into Skyrim with Holds Complete Edition, then I highly encourage you to install this Unofficial Patch. I believe this patch does much more than nitpicking irrelevant mistakes. Some of them are crucial changes that I've been urging Galandil to incorporate into the main file of Holds.
Many of these changes have been incorporated into Holds Modular Edition already, as a matter of fact, with Holds 0.0.9.

Longer description of what Holds Unofficial Patch does:

- All new interior cells (dwellings, longhouses, pubic buildings, etc) have been assigned to appropriate locations and location types. This allows for a proper integration of various World Interactions into these new locations; the inn keepers of the newly added inns will say welcome to you as you enter their establishments, and so on.

- Holds reverts many fixes from Unofficial Skyrim Patch to vanilla. This patch re-enables these fixes (which is also done in Holds USLEEP/USEEP Compatibility Patch).

- Some of the new houses are now available for radiant quests for Thieves Guild.

- Very small amount of changes for better aesthetics in some of the locations in Solitude; Solitude Public Bathhouse has slightly improved lighting, Solitude Entrance Tunnel has more uplifting town music track rather than ominous dungeon music track.

- New miscellaneous items and clothing items have been altered their values, associate keywords, and so on.

- Fixes some NPCs assigned to wrong factions.

- Many other small fixes that will up the overall technical standard of Holds!

<Click on the Spoiler Button to see the list of mods currently made compatible with Holds.>

If you use more than one of the mods listed bellow, you'll end up with a load of patches. As overwhelming as they can be, you are most encouraged to use tools such as TES5Edit or Merge Plugins to merge them into a single esp file. Don't use dozens of patches without merging them! It's easy to use these tools!
Just make sure to load these patches in the advised load order BEFORE attempting to merge them! Their appropriate load order can be found in the section below, and each patch has been given a short note describing in which load order it should be loaded. The note can be read when you hover over the patch in Mod Organizer.

Holds USLEEP Patch apparently doesn't work well with DYNDOLOD. Make sure to un-tick it while generating DYNDOLOD.esp.

Atlas Legendary Patch

Spoiler:

Show

<Description>
Make sure to use the updated MCM version, NOT the original version by kronixx.

New Map Markers are added in cities and towns. All of them can be toggled on/off in MCM.
Banks and Town Halls now have Map Markers, giving The Notice Board users a quick access to
the Notice Boards in cities &towns.

<Load Order>
Doesn't matter; just load after Atlas Map Markers and Holds

CACO (Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul) Patch

Spoiler:

Show

<Description>
It makes the items placed in the world of Skyrim by CACO accessible even with Holds installed.
Not only that, it also distributes many CACO items (food, Alchemy ingredients, and more) into the towns and cities of Holds, making them available at the new stores and inns.

<Load Order>
After Holds Unofficial Patch. Holds Unofficial Patch itself can be loaded anywhere after Holds.

Holidays Patch

Spoiler:

Show

<Description>
If for some reason you have had Holidays installed in prior to installing this patch, and already started the game with Holds installed, a safer and recommended way to install this patch is the following:

Deactivate Holidays and its Add-Ons if you have them installed. Load your latest game, [font=Georgia]ignore the missin' files error. Save your game, and exit Skyrim. Then, put Holidays and its Add-Ons back in, and install HoldsHolidaysPatch, then start the game, and load your latest save. Once it's loaded, create a new save.

JK's Skyrim Lite Patch

Spoiler:

Show

<Sample Screenshots>
1, 2, 3, 4

<Description>

Requires JKs LITE - Cities.esp & DawnofSkyrim-AllMajorCities.esp from JK's Skyrim Lite, in addition to Holds.esp from Holds the City Overhaul.
Also make sure to install the BSA archive from the original Dawn of Skyrim as well.

Might cause some weird clipping issues with the other compatibility patches.

<Load Order>
DawnofSkyrim-AllMajorCities.esp
JKs LITE - Cities.esp
Holds.esp
Holds Complete+JKs Lite+DoS Lite Patch.esp

*Make sure to load this patch near the bottom of your load order, but before Holds - Skyrim Sewers patch, Holds Unofficial Patch, and Holds CACO Patch.

Missives & The Notice Board Patch

Spoiler:

Show

<Video Guide>
The instruction video is coming soon.

<Description>
There are 2 Missive Boards in Falkreath. Both of them contain the same Missives.

The Notice Board Patch is compatible with its UPDATED version by Sthaagg, make sure not to use the original mod by MannyGT.
Now the Notice Boards can also be found in some of the newly added settlements and new districts in bigger cities added by Holds.

Doesn't matter, as long as it's loaded after Holds.esp.

Serenity Patch

Spoiler:

Show

<Description>
If for some reason you have had Serenity installed in prior to installing this patch, and already started the game with Holds installed, a safer and recommended way to install this patch is the following:

Load your latest game, and clear Serenity off anything you have stored inside. If you're in the middle of the quest to obtain Serenity's ownership, you should finish it right away. Save your game, and deactivate Serenity and its Add-Ons and relaunch Skyrim. Ignore the missin' files error. Once your game is loaded, create a save. Then, re-activate Serenity, its Add-Ons, and Holds - Serenity Patch, start the game, and load your latest save. Once it's loaded create a save.

You will need to redo the quest for claiming Serenity's ownership.

Skyrim Sewers Patch

Spoiler:

Show

<Description>
Holds adds Sewers dungeons as well. By installing this patch, now you can explore sewers from both mods.
In order for this patch to work with other compatibility patches, there are no Navmesh records in cities. This might result in your follower being unable to follow you to Solitude Sewers.

<Load Order>
Skyrim Sewers.esp or Skyrim Sewers.esm
Holds.esp
Holds - Skyrim Sewers Patch.esp

*This patch should be loaded after most other Holds Patches including JK's Skyrim Lite Patch.

+Optional Patches+

As their names suggest, installing an Optional Patch is completely optional. So far we have Optional Patches for Clothing and Clutter Fixes and Dynamic Things - Enhanced.

You don't have to install these Optional Patches even if you have these mods. They're more of a niche addon for users who want to further enhance their gameplay with Holds and these mods.

They are made to be easy to merge, so you are most encouraged to do so.

+Load Order Tips+

Using these patches in the appropriate Load Order is VERY important! Here is a quick overview of how and where to put your patches in your LO (Load Order).
