AN UPKEPT AREA DISCLOSING ALL "VERSION UPDATING INFORMATION" RELATIVE TO ALL EBO VERSIONS
  • We all know that it can get confusing with so many different Mod builds if its safe to update to xx Build from xy Build and vice versa
  • Within the SPOILERS below list all the builds each with their own specific updating conditions and what you can/can't update to, etc....

RULE OF THUMB, ALWAYS:
  • [01] If you are allowed to update to a later build from a previous build, ALWAYS save outside the home prior to updating to a newer build
    • UNLESS other specific conditions are stated below on a per version basis, this rule of thumb is the baseline always to be followed
  • [02] If you are allowed to update from several versions back, you still have to follow each newer build's updating protocols to successfully update to latest
  • NOTE: If a build falls into the same update safety zone relative to its previous builds, it will just be in the same divider. Same rules

BUILD DESCRIPTION CHANGES:
  • All changes you can find in the Pages built-in Changelog Dropdown or the Doc file included within the updated package


  • CANNOT: UPDATE TO 3X BUILDS FROM ANY 2X/1X BUILD SAVE
  • BUILD 3X: Breezehome basement designs moved to their own dedicated cell "WhiterunBreezehomeLower"
    • A poll won in favor of 94% to make this change in light of the chunky benchmarked performance trade-off
  • Build 3X Series will resume further future development and new content

BUILD: 3.0 - Breezehome Cell Design Scheme Changes
Installing Mid-Save From: Eli's Breezehome v2.x and below
  • This is NOT SAFE ("NOT SAFE" IS A MASSIVE UNDERSTATEMENT)
  • There might be patches out there that need updating for this build that handled content in the Basements before they cell switched
    • Basements are now in a new cell. Patches would require updating in light of the cell change for said basement edits its doing 


  • CANNOT: UPDATE TO 3X BUILDS ON ANY 2X/1X BUILD SAVE
  • BUILD 2X: is the last series where the basement designs are in the "WhiterunBreezehome" cell
    • The latest build of the 2x Series will remain publicly available for download incase of personal user reasons
      • However, its development is concluded pertaining to adding new content. Where applicable, 2X will receive 3X fixes but that is all

  • (01) Ground Planter Soils (side of outside home)
    • Remove anything that is planted. Otherwise what you had planted, not the soil itself, will be floating when updating to 2.8.1

    • I would say save outside of the Whiterun city gate (Tamriel) OR in an interior cell nearby like the "Drunken Huntsman"
BUILD: 2.7 - Mega "One All, Catch All" Update
Installing Mid-Save From: Eli's Breezehome v2.6 back to v2.4

    • After the above is completed, save outside the home, update to build 2.7. Before saving forward, make sure everything works as intended
(B) OLD SAVES W/ AUTO SYSTEMS 
  • This is NOT SAFE
    • We tired every possible means we could with intent to keep AutoSystems old save update safe and........ There is not a way
    • We even experimented with ReSaver (just for the hell of it). It helped the Auto-sort issue but Auto-loot functionality is toast/broken
      • There might be a ReSaver way, but we are against it solely. Unless one has a Savology PhD, its dangerous surgery
    • Nothing we can do. Its a huge "One All, Catch All" update. Its sheer luck w/o Autosystems, Eli_Breezehoem.esp is safe to update from old saves
  • In short: Auto Systems 2.7 requires a save where no previous build Auto Systems were involved

    • To those on v2.3 and below, we apologize. Priority A and B are of equal importance to us 
    • Priority A is always make the mod its best. Priority B is to make it old save update safe. Sometimes B is not a card we are dealt due to the changes A takes
