About this mod

This mod adds patches to Drengin's Blue Palace Terrace that were missing from its main page. In addition, I have included a few missing patches to JK's Blue Palace Terrace and a bugfix to the existing Legacy of the Dragonborn patch.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Changelogs
Drengin's Blue Palace Terrace greatly enhances the appearance of the Blue Palace and Czasior's work to combine it with JK's Blue Palace by Jkrojmal enhances it even more. Unfortuntely, such an extensive overhaul of the palace creates many incompabilities with other mods. While many patches exist at the original mod pages and elsewhere, the list is not complete. I have addressed this by adding a couple of patches that were missing. On top of this, I have fixed quite a lot of issues with the LotD patch by leontristain, since I found them serious enough that I could not live with them.

Contents

General Blue Palace Terrace patches:
  • Stones of Solitude - Better Blended Rock Piles - swaps rock groups added by Blue Palace Terrace with wSkeever's better variant.
  • Legacy of the Dragonborn + Dawn of Skyrim - removes some furniture added by the BPT - DoS patch from the museum area.

JK's Blue Palace Terrace patches:

  • Immersion patch - compability patch with the Immersion patch for JK's Blue Palace available at the JK's Interiors patch hub.
  • ELFX patch - choose between ELFX Fixes, ELFX Shadows and optionally ELFX Enhancer. Combines elements from Blue Palace Terrace's and JK's Blue Palace's ELFX patches into the new layout for full compability with ELFX. Replacer of original patches.
  • Sounds of Skyrim - adds rain sounds to all windows; changes acoustic settings.

Seasons of Skyrim support:
  • Seasonal Landscapes integration - adds seasonal transformation to all new plants surrounding the Blue Palace, as well as ground moss and ivy on the walls. Requires Seasonal Landscapes. Also adds seasonal transition to the statue at the Museum courtyard if used with Legacy of the Dragonborn. Current textures are 4K for the statue, 1K for the rest (might update in future).

Legacy of the Dragonborn patch bugfix:
  • Replaces the corridor with an entirely redesigned interior, using appropriate (interior) assets and mostly fitting the layout. Removes green plants from the interior, since they would not thrive without sunlight. Moves or replaces insensible AI markers. Fixes navmesh and placement issues in the exterior, as well as other technical issues.
  • Updated patch for JK's Blue Palace included.

Open Cities patches:
  • JK's Skyrim + Dawn of Skyrim - transfers closed-city patches to the open worldspace and combines them.
  • Legacy of the Dragonborn -  transfers closed-city patch (including my fixes) to the open worldspace. Replaces the corridors with a new mesh to avoid bleeding.
  • LOTD Museum Dress Up - replaces a mesh to avoid bleeding at the courtyard.
  • JK's Blue Palace Terrace - minor patch to make this compatible with Open Cities.
  • JK's Blue Palace Terrace + AI Overhaul -  transfers edits in Solitude to the open worldspace.
  • JK's Blue Palace Terrace + Imperial Mail -  transfers closed-city patch to the open worldspace.

Compatibility
Patches are mostly mutually compatible, except for navmesh resolution. Since there are so many ways to combine these patches, you would have to fix this yourself. I have provided combined patches both for the closed- and Open Cities versions at RedBag's Solitude patches with Open Cities support, but they also include many other mods. Given the number of mods included (12 for the Open Cities version!), I don't know how helpful they will be for most players, but could serve as inspiration for you to make your own. While probably possible to make them slightly more modular, I don't think the demand would be large enough to warrant me to spend time on it.

Also notice that the ITM record in my version of JKs BPT - LOTD patch.esp is intentional and should not be cleaned out. I included it to make it possible to combine the patch with the original LOTD patch for JK's Blue Palace (make sure that patch is overwritten!), which will be required for my combined navmesh patch and possibly your own.

The ELFX patches are not compatible with ELFX Hardcore. The ELFX Fixes and Sounds of Skyrim patches would need a compability patch. I have only provided such a patch for ELFX Shadows.

Load order
This is the load order I am using. For some mods it is important, for others not. The provided modgroups file should further assist with the load order. Also notice that JK's BPT - Sounds of Skyrim patch.esp must load after JK's BPT - ELFX Shadows patch.esp or JK's BPT - ELFX Fixes patch.esp if you are not using ELFX Enhancer!
