About this mod

Or just felt as if something was missing in the world? Well this is the mod for you.

SE version can be found here.

This mod should be best be installed, before you have spoken to, or started any of their quests (see NPCs covered). If you don't, it might still work, but I'll be unable to provide any support.

Disclaimer


 This mod was originally created by AndrealphusVIII who has shared it as it is. Unfortunately, due to real life obligations, He can no longer provide active support. However, feel free to make any modifications yourself, using this file. (see permissions.)




What is this mod about? 

  This mod is the continuation of the mod BUVARP - Barely Used Vanilla Actors Recycle Project by AndrealphusVIII. While he may be available for questions about the old version, it has become way to big for him to lead and maintain, so he has passed to me the responsibility to continue the project.

  The mod allows higher immersion by giving new purposes to actors that may be perceived as unused or limited in Vanilla. As result, actors with unique lore will have more than a few lines to say and will no longer be deleted from the game. (not without a reason) and will have pre and/or post purpose before and after their quests.
  Some of the actors covered by this project will fill missing holes in the world, either as new farmers, sailors, miners, bards, bodyguards, merchants, patrons, etc. And if suitable, are also going to be marriageable or/and be available as new followers based on how these actors were intended in vanilla.

Patches

  Patches are available for some mods already, but there are no severe conflicts (WARP uses few locations to reintegrate actors, most thought with compatibility in mind, gray face bug can be solved with bash). Here's a list of patches and what they do, so you can decide whether you want to use them.
  Also, have in mind that this mod is designed to be used along with common popular mods, such as "Immersive Citizens - AI Overhaul" by ShurahUnofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch, and Cutting Room Floor by Arthmoor and Relationship Dialogue Overhaul by cloudedtruth.
  So if you have some favorite mod that is free of patches related with the above, it likely means that it won't require a patch.
  • Carriage and Ferry Travel Overhaul: Corrects the position of the Carriage at Falkreath to not conflict with CFTO changes.
  • Expanded Towns and Cities: Corrects a conflict at Rorikstead and Falkreath.
  • JKs Skyrim: Corrects conflicts at Rorikstead, Dragonbridge, Ivarstead and Winterhold.
  • Arthmoor's Skyrim Villages - All In One: Corrects a conflict at Rorikstead and Dragonbridge.
  • Legacy of the Dragonborn: A minor update to the Aegisbane Shield.
  • Even Better Quest Objectives: Keep it's decription changes updated.
  • The Choice is Yours: Compatibility for quest control.
  • Requiem - Minor Arcana: Patch by scrane27.
  • Immersive Amazing Follower Tweaks: Compatibility for Follower control.
  • More Racism in Windhelm: Allow to MRI to detect reintegrated actors
  • Immersive Weapows: Allow reintegrated Thalmor Actors to keep IW weapons.

    If you find another mod that conflicts with WARP please let me know and I will (as possible) build a patch for it too.

    FAQ

    Q: Will you implement <NPC name> as well?
    A: If we find enough content, we might, but only eventually. When? Soon™


    Q: Will you upload this to bethesda.net, and/or convert to PS4/Xbox One?
    A: It won't be uploaded to bethesda.net or any consoles by me. But feel free to do so yourself. (see permissions) Xbox One version is in theory possible to convert, PS4 isn't. (no custom assets.)


    Q: Why launch WARP, instead of updating BUVARP?
    A: WARP is actually a heavily improvement and optimization of BUVARP, having most of the old actors being redone, and few use of scripts in comparison with its ancestor. It no longer relies on duplicates, neither needs dirty edits. As a consequence, it's impossible to update from one to another.


    Q: Will you do the same for any other game?
    A: No, but feel free to borrow ideas from me.


    Q: There are a few conflicts with USLEEP.
    A: Yes, there are 1 intentional conflicts:
    - A bed in Deadmans Drink no longer has Valdr as owner. This is because Valdr now has his own bed in his house in Falkreath. Do NOT clean those.


    Q: Do you really need Cutting Room Floor and Relationship Overhaul as requirement, seriously?
    A: Unfortunately, yes. To put into simple words, "it's the lesser of two evils", as around 40% of the actors and quests explored are not just fixed by USLEEP, but by CRF as well, while RDO is required as a framework to reintegrate uncommon actors.  (to make them truly functional)
    The alternative is to break vanilla and add a unnecessary load of avoidable scripts.

      I hope for those who read this to understand that working in a single core file is way efficient for me instead of breaking in smaller parts. Still, I will eventually create a lite version with only 60% of the actors, and no support for additional content for those who wish to use the mod without dependencies. 
    For the time being, I'm just a single human being with limited time who wants to bring this idea to fruition.
