Changelogs
Palaces and Castles Enhanced is a delightfully wonderful overhaul of the interiors of many unique places within Skyrim which - particularly for the scope - has surprisingly few major conflicts, thanks to the patches included with it. However, when going through my load order (which has a borderline absurd number of things which are added), I found a few places here or there which would have a book slightly floating or an NPC spawn point within a wall (which they'd pop out of after a few seconds). So I decided to run through and make any which I felt were needed, and am sharing any whose parent authors approve or are simply forwarding the changes in a combined manner. All patches are .esps flagged as ESL. A few of these have patches for LE, but these were made from scratch so the objects are likely in different locations - all placements involved in the mods below were personal choices on my part, but I tried to adhere to the original "theming" as much as possible. Many of these are not explicitly necessary and can be resolved via load order, but having the patch frees you up to have both mods in any order relative to one another, provided the patch is loaded last. Every patch forwards the image space changes from PCE. If you're using the ELFX patch from PCE, load that last.

Included Patch Descriptions

3DNPCs/Interesting NPCs - Two patches included - one is a replacer for the version included with the main mod that includes some additional needed fixes. Second is a small CR patch with the PCE patch for SFCO included here. Last checked against version 4.4, technically, but 4.5 should have no plugin changes.

Additional Hearthfire Dolls - Shifts placed dolls to match new interiors. Last checked against version 3

Aemer's Refuge - Conflict resolution on navmesh. Last checked against version 2.83

AI Overhaul SSE - forwarded PCE changes to packages where conflicts (except keeping the AIO interrupt rules), shifted idle markers to match new interiors. Checked against version 1.8.1 I should note that AI Overhaul now has an official patch hub and seeing as this is the only one of the patches I've made for it that touches Packages, it's possible that they may make their own for this, in which case this patch will come down. Consider it an unofficial patch for now.

Alternate Start - Live Another Life - Forwards a few missed cell settings, Updates scenes to have PCE headtracking. Last checked against version 4.1.4

Amorous Adventures Plus - Shifts a certain NPC's spawn point into the Blue Palace Jarl's chamber cell, since the bedroom is there now. Last checked against version 1.3.

BUVARP RE - Shifted position of one NPC spawn, CR on some cell settings. Last checked against version 1.1b technically (changelog of 1.1c is unrelated, so it's fine)

Castle Volkihar Rebuilt - CR on a bed and tooooooooooooons of spiderwebs. Last checked against version 2.0.6

substitutes fire types to better match aesthetics. Last checked against version 2.6.1 (as in no errors - if you notice float, let me know). FOMOD is based off uncompacted Embers XD.esp. Direct download of XD compacted ESL is available on the optional files section, but will not be receiving updates.

Immersive College of Winterhold - Shifts scrying location to (hopefully) cover the new interior. Last checked against version 6.2

Immersive Citizens AI Overhaul - Slightly tweaked/updated version of the patch on the PCE page. Cleaned up some of the package/scene stuff, I think. Last checked against version 1.73

More Craftable Equipment - CR, shifts new racks to locations that don't conflict. Last checked against version 1.1.5

Morrowloot Miscellania - Item Distribution - moves some of the placed items to match the new interiors. Last checked against version 1.3, although it looks like there's one daedric shield which the patch places in a different spot which is no longer present at all in MLM. However, it also means there's no daedric shield placed in MLM at all, which....seems weird? So I'm leaving it be. It's hard to get to, regardless.

Morrowloot Ultimate - same changes as the previous, but for the original flavor. As Morrowloot Misc - Item Distribution hasn't had updates which impact, MLU is presumed to be up-to-date, as well.

Mystic Condenser - Moves Mystic Condenser objects to match the new interiors. Last checked against version 2.3

Off Limits - Shifts/resizes regions to match new palace layouts. Last checked against version 1.2

On A Crimson Trail - CR, shifts an object, disables a couple things. Last checked against version 1.1

There Is No Umbra - Shifts a placed book to not drop on the floor. Last checked against version 1.27 technically, but looking at the changelog should be good through 1.32 at least.

The Second Great War - Moves many references and objects to match new interiors, forwards cell changes from PCE. Thanks to Reath1 for sanity-checking my described changes. Please note that, due to the nature of many of the changes only being factored deep into the game, this patch is not fully tested. Please report to me any problems you run into.

Shadow of Meresis - Forwards persistence on an NPC. Last checked against version 1.1.75

Skyrim Improved Puddles - Shifts the puddles placed in Windhelm Bloodworks to match new interior layout. Last checked against version 1.4.

Installation
Use a mod manager/organizer to install, or drop the loose files into your Skyrim data folder.
Patches should have their appropriate masters set, and should be loaded after any mods which they are patching. Some of the fixes in question are on persistent objects, and may require a new save.

Compatibility
I don't believe this should introduce any incompatibilities beyond anything which may be present between base mods. All moved objects should have been moved to locations which are non-overlapping. Let me know if you hit anything
