Predecessor update history transfers into a dedicated [MPXP] CHANGELOG TRANSMISSION QUEUE FORUM which will accumulate in old changelogs until it begins to look congested or requires more then 2 mouse wheel scrolls to reach the bottom
Beyond that; older stuff gets transferred to a provided .txt (optional to install in FOMOD) called "[MPXP] Full Historical Changelog"
EXCLUSIVE TO THIS PAGE: PAGE REQUIREMENTS DROPDOWN:
I list every possible requirement mod link their is provided everything offered here in its entirety
The Requirements Dropdown is more-or-less to be perceived as an instrument providing quick access links to help speed up ones navigational needs
GENERAL MODULE USE:
Use correct Mod Version Modules geared towards (I will keep ONLY the Description Page informing that)
If N/A (not applicable) is stated for some Mod Versions; based on reasonable assumption, its because it likely isn't crucial
LEGEND USED IN SOME PLUGIN LOAD ORDERS SHOWN ON PAGE: Its to aid in more complex Plugin stacks offering that extra insight and peace of mind where certain extra things would go in the event they are used
[R] Means "Real Requirement"
[E] Means "Example". Listed for reference purposes, where it would be placed, in the event the user desires it was in the setup. Not Requirement
[P] Means "Patch Product" for that Selection Choice
Any builds Pre Alpha-123 could be setup differently.
If instructions (below here) mismatch your current downloaded DynDOLOD build config files implies you need to update
If the user decides not to use MPXP overhauls anymore, REMEMBER to revert the change back to default
WARNING *DISCLAIMER* GENERAL MPXP PRACTICE BEFORE ANY FIRST MPXP DYNDOLOD RUN 01) Clear all previous DynDOLOD cache located in: DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\CacheWARNING *DISCLAIMER* - DYNDOLOD/Users of: Legacy of the Dragonborn (LotD) MOST IMPORTANT ONE OF ALL

PROBLEM: After generating your LODs, the DBMRocks respawn to there native positions (even though MPXP disables/drops them -30K)
SOLUTION: Provided DynDOLOD rule sheets are pre-packed per your installer choice that remedies the issue 95% of the way. The remainder is a manual job done by the user instructed below:
01) In Windows Explorer > click "View" tab (along toolbar somewhere) > enable "File name extensions" checkbox
02) Find "Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\Rules\DynDOLOD_SSE_legacyofthedragonbornv5esm_tamriel.patch" inside your DynDOLOD.exe directory path
03) This is a ".patch" file so your Windows (more then likely) will not know what to open it with. In order to proceed, follow step 04 below
04) Right click on file > Open With > Notepad (Notepad++ recommended). If unlisted, select "choose another app" > Find it > Select it...
05) Some lines in the rule sheet must be commented out by placing ; before them
LINES ARE LISTED BELOW (QTY:04) WITH ONE SEMI-COLON ; TO COMMENT THEM OUT AS SUCH: Line 54 (last I checked) ==> ;copy2esm=legacyoftheDragonborn.esm;0013DD6E,Record Header\Record Flags=0,Cell=skyrim.esm;000092BA Line 55 (last I checked) ==> ;delete=legacyoftheDragonborn.esm;0013DD6E Line 56 (last I checked) ==> ;copy2esm=legacyoftheDragonborn.esm;0013DD6F,Record Header\Record Flags=0,Cell=skyrim.esm;000092BA Line 57 (last I checked) ==> ;delete=legacyoftheDragonborn.esm;0013DD6F
06) Save and exit. Done
07) Once DynDOLOD EXE has loaded & prompt appears, pick advanced settings > choose High, Medium or Low for rule sheets to work
PROBLEM: DynDO copies Child Worldspace refs and places them in Tamriel. The placement per these SolitudeWorld copied Refs do not matchup to the layout of the Refs placed in the Tamriel Worldspace combined with these Solitude combo overhaul designs and also renders up close to Player
SOLUTION: This is a manual job done by the user instructed below:
01) In Windows Explorer > click "View" tab (along toolbar somewhere) > enable "File name extensions" checkbox
02) Find "Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\Configs\DynDOLOD_SSE_childworld_SolitudeWorld.ini" inside your DynDOLOD.exe directory path

04) Right click on file > Open With > Notepad (Notepad++ recommended). If unlisted, select "choose another app" > Find it > Select it...
05) You need to add Redbag's Solitude.esp to a section within the .ini file shown below:
AS IT IS BY DEFAULT: Line 7 (last I checked) ==> ; list of plugins to disable scanning of this childworld Line 8 (last I checked) ==> NoScanIfPluginExists=Open Cities Skyrim.esp,SR Exterior Cities.esp,Exterior Cities Solitude SR.esp ADD 'Redbag's Solitude.esp' AS SUCH: Line 7 (last I checked) ==> ; list of plugins to disable scanning of this childworld Line 8 (last I checked) ==> NoScanIfPluginExists=Open Cities Skyrim.esp,SR Exterior Cities.esp,Exterior Cities Solitude SR.esp, Redbag's Solitude.esp
PROBLEM: This option will create objects in the SolitudeWorld unfavorable when combined with MPXP RbS patches. Things placed in conflicting spots
SOLUTION: As stated above, DO NOT install the "Solitude Exterior" selection option in the DynDOLOD Resources 3

[0.0] LOD UNLOCKER ASSETS OF SOLITUDE FOR DYNDOLOD "ThouShaltBowToMaster" WHAT THIS PACKAGE PROMOTES:
Spoiler:
Show
LITTLE SAY:
It always bothered me how far one could view Solitude in full before it began to disappear. Not everything but lots from the entire area would begin to pop in and out of view despite being out of rendering range. This is particularly an absolution in regards to all the different rock models. Using Sheson's Masterpiece of a Patching Tool "DynDOLOD" for along time and depending how its instructed to generate LODs; it has always worked brilliantly. Only area I found that had issues was Solitude. I have spent a lengthily amount of trial and tribulation as to get the end result I have always been looking for. Testing is the real time consumer here.
WHAT THE MODULE DOES:
Reason behind why many of the objects apart of Solitudes exterior foundation fail to Render afar even when using DynDOLOD is their BaseID's and some RefID's (Skyway) are not staged to be seen super far. They need a particular flags set and targeting LOD models. This Is achieved in the LOD Unlocker Module
Without the use Of DynDOLOD - Okayish Improvement. Nothing I would drool over. This Unlocker is geared for LOD Generation
With the use of DynDOLOD produced custom mod stack LODs - supreme full Solitude (Cells to be seen away)
WHAT THE DYNDOLOD RULES DO:
DynDOLOD's prescription medication how its to Generate Its LODs pertaining to those Base Objects Contained their in. The INI's are editable for the user using Notepad++ (Recommended) but at default as I have done them; it works quite well
All the presets of rules are the same for Low, Medium or High LODs based upon the users selection at the DynDOLOD Prompt. So you can have a low LOD game (lower quality, better performance) but it will still take into account special attention to be enforced on the outside of the Solitude area
The LOD Unlocker Module is just as Important as the rules for DynDOLOD because of the BaseID and RefID edits done
HOW TO USE THE DYNDOLOD RULES:
The LOD Unlocker Advocate will house the most rules relevant to Solitude's Exterior
Other Modules for Example in [1.0] MAIN COMBO OVERHAULS [1.0] will have their own DynDOLOD Rule Templates which will house rules for objects that only come from that mod alone. All the rules from all the sheets will then add to the list of rules along with the Main LOD Unlocker into DynDOLOD's Information Bank
The same BaseID changes implemented into the "Solitude Exterior LOD Unlocker Advocate" need to be carried forward into the remainder modules housed on page That's why I have to update the entire page so everything like veins and arteries courses the blood pumped by the LOD Unlocker. Cant have different plugins editing same records being promoted from the LOD Unlocker in their own different way. Everything has to sync and handshake
Load after anything that attempts to edit the BaseIDs in this pluginSolitude Exterior LOD Unlocker Advocate II (SELUA II) Solitude Skyway (v1.3) VER FOR: DynDOLOD 3 Alpha
This Variant Also Serves Greater Purpose Then Being Just a LOD Unlocker:
Does everything (SELUA I) does with extras explicitly geared for Solitude Skyway
This also acts as a resource container for the MPxP1.0 overhauls carrying many Baseforms and Models that MPxP1.0 is dependent on
The ONLY Solitude City EDITED (plugin customary) VanillaID Navmesh carried in MPXP1.0 are from LotD Gate to Courtyard. Rest of inner-city is untouched
Since MPXP 1.0 has several modules excluding TGCoS as the exterior overhaul, creative users can experiment with 3rd-party exterior combination overhauls
COMPATIBLE (support patches): RedBag's Solitude (QTY:2), perfect companion for this combo compilation
FEATURES: THIS ENTIRE DESCRIPTION NEEDS A MAKEOVER. ITS AS OLD AS THE PAGES RELEASE. I'LL GET AROUND TO IT EVENTUALLY
New "King's Edge Cliff Ledge" (Two Total Now) that's great for fighting and screenshots or just chilling (kind of like a guard patrol snipper's rock beacon or the cliff from the flick "The Lion King" The Circle of Life Simba's birth. Fun to battle on the ledge and if one falls, its a death drop (Thankyou to the ideas and input of some creative minds)
New guards of different imperial ranking positions are added to the Skyway and its Platform with varying schedules
Two new archery targets and one new melee practice dummy in which guards train on at fixed schedules
Two new Skyway domesticated dogs named Skylor (male) and Skyla (female) that wonder the stretch and add some life to the area If the dogs barking becomes annoying because it does start to get to me as well, Install Quiet Dog [No Plugin/Scripts - Just Altered Animations] and don't forget to endorse. I felt the Skyway needed some furry friends but with them comes along there nuisance barking so, if you wish, their is a way to shut them up
One stray dog named Skyray (male) that hangs around the Solitude Eastern Guard Outpost exiting staircase
Enhanced Solitude Arch Windmill Tower Entrance/Exit with more detailed link labelling schemes
New Solitude Skyway Courtyard Door (both sides) with more detailed link labelling schemes (Thanks to leontristain for the door ideas)
New Travel marker to the Central Skyway Area (where the middle platform is)
Flameage to all Braziers but reduced the lighting to particular ones that touch troublesome meshes causing flickering
Solitude Skyway entrance from the Solitude Exterior hand mended right in their with style for TGCoS Compatibility
Skyway's "Jump-to-Water Safety Emergency Exit Isle" (facing South) right at the central Skyway Lounge area from the skyway into the solitude waters. I always liked jumping into the waters from high up on the Skyway so I added something for that)
No more Storm Cloak Fighting on the Skyway Stretch (I thought it was out of place and all the random cluttered dead bodies that accumulate) Raids or general wanderers might alarm the guards from the wilderness but no more Fighting Spawns in the middle of the Skyway
Fully Navmeshed TGCoS, Skyway and Drengin's Blue Palace Terrace mod
New stairway access points for water way entry. Two at Estuary Fortress. Two at the TGCoS Arch Docks area. TGCoS as a whole is much more swimming friendly getting around using the Waterway. Fully Revisioned Waterway Navmeshing.
These stairways will be very complimentary to the Extension Mod in [2.0] Personal Creations [2.0]

TECHNICAL INFORMATION:
Re-navmeshed all new additions and thoroughly tested with followers as to verify finalization was implemented correctly
Re-worked the new King's Edge Cliff Ledge mesh collisions. Might not be perfect but its a hell of a lot better for the working face of the rock
All brazier's have flameage with newly added lighting properties.
No flickering on any given meshes are caused directly from the Braziers except two spots extremely faint. Any other flickering that may occur is from combination of Brazier and guard torch lighting properties colliding on the same rock meshes. Flickering will occur on any given mesh when the engines maximum limit of lighting sources on any mesh within a cell are exceeded. Their isn't much I can do regarding this unless I disable Brazier flamage altogether on a large amount of them which I prefer not to do. All the braziers existed where they where from the original Skyway Mod as intended, I didn't want to alter that but I felt they deserved flame and with flame comes light, so, I did my best to use a lightweight light source keeping its focus much less directed on the troublesome rock meshes.
New dropdown NAVM at the "Jump-to-Water Safety Emergency Exit Isle" near the Central Sector of the Skyway. A dropdown NAVM is a particular link between two lines that allows followers to jump after you

AVOID ENTIRELY USING:
Solitude Skyway SE - Open Cities Patch.esp from the "Solitude Skyway" site with Main Module Overhaul even if LOOT tells you otherwise. It is not required and will in fact cause problems. It has it's own teleport & labelling schemes for doors verses these at "Solitude Docks Exterior" To "Solitude Arch Windmill Tower". This means their will be more then one entry prompt per door and teleport mechanic per door location.
Q. Why Even Change Door Mechanics at That Location?
A. Their is a bug with that auto-load-door by radius teleport mechanic at the Solitude Arch Tower Stairwell to the Solitude Docks Exterior "ONLY" while playing in an Open Cities Skyrim setup. I don't know why the mechanic does what it does during OCS gameplay, but once you and a follower teleport through the auto-load-door; the follower becomes invisible once teleported. To counter this bug; I added a door-to-door teleport (which works fine) instead of the auto-load-door by radius teleport mechanic and since I had already done that; I made more descriptive prompt labelling to go with it. Solitude Skyway SE - Open Cities Patch.esp alters the door stuff in its own fashion added up on top of this will result in more then one of everything. AVOID IT

WHAT THESE MODULES DO:
My mentality is; why reinvent the wheel around one massive model. Not interchangeable or rearrangeable; eradicate it
These are not technical Modules at all but ensure ease of adjustability for future updates, and mod conflict manageability. Ultimately, they change compatibility dynamics massively. Simple but very time consuming and tedious to construct as to make it; look as proper as possible without clipping through the city or other areas and that the LotD mechanics for some regions of the Rock Models remain intact for proper LotD mod functionality EX Dragon landing/mounting spots/a Load-To Portal on a rock, the haunted note, etc...
Disabled LotD's two Primary Solitude Rock Models and perhaps six or so rocks/boulders and completely reconstructed the entire rock foundation supporting LotD. Comprised before of about 6/7 models is replaced by a total of 24+ large rock models that are interchangeable anytime.
Being the Rock now is split into many entities; it is much more manageable for adjustment
I cannot achieve the same volume the original LotD foundation offered. Structurally; from an architectural outlook, It isn't a flimsy formation hoisting up the Museum. It is very thick but could be beefier If I had more space without compromising other exterior mods. Logically speaking, its solid enough to do its job and support everything but if Skyrim had a massive earthquake, Bye-bye Museum. Not as beefy a look as I would prefer. Could be better but that's the sacrifice made for much more exterior mod compatibility potential
These plugins are NOT dependent on The Great City of Solitude or any other exterior city altering mods. Solitude Skyway is obviously a master but use it along whatever you like. I haven't tested a whole pile of setups but just by the nature of this kind of patch; it has potential to work alongside many possibilities. If deciding to mix and match these with what's out their on Nexus exempting use of the Main Combo Overhauls; its completely experimental

IMPERATIVE INFORMATION PERTAINING TO ALL: The Ruins Has NO Affiliation Anymore With These Sovngarde Statues in This Package However;
If user just so happens to really enjoy The Ruins; a patch is provided disabling both the Sovngarde Statues that The Ruins Mod adds to Solitude Exterior
WHAT'S THESE MODULES DO:
Adds two massive Sovngarde Statues to the exterior of Solitude. The idea was originally from The Ruins which has always been an all-time favorite adding lots of lore-friendly ancient and interesting structures; rubble and statues around Skyrim.
COMPATIBILITY NOTES: SETS IV, V & VI ARE FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH:
MPXP [1.0] MAIN COMBO OVERHAULS ---> [1.1, 1.2 and 1.3]
MPXP [2.0] PERSONAL CREATIONS ---> Solitude Skyway SE Estuary Fortress Extension
MPXP [3.0] OTHER MODULES ---> Drengin's Blue Palace Terrace [PATCH - LotD] (Optional Patches)
RECOMMENDATIONS: LOD UNLOCKER:
Solitude Exterior LOD Unlocker Advocate I or II (depending if using Skyway or not)
Is highly urged to use in pure general but not a requirement for these statues.
LOD and DynDOLOD rules for the statues are apart of this package. Generate LODs With DynDOLOD and these statues will never fade from view.
ASSETS: Being Scaled Up In Size So Much, Having Enhanced Assets Is Essential. I Suggest:
Skyland Sovngarde - for the beautiful re-texturing job on the statues
Solitude Skyway SE Estuary Fortress Extension
Spoiler:
Show
WHAT THIS PACKAGE DOES:
An extension I have been developing that promotes Solitude Skyway access to The Great City of Solitude's Estuary Fortress on the opposite side of the waterway from the main Solitude Docks
The original Estuary Fortress Docks are joined now to an extension which leads to a shipping/receiving port. Maintenance is conducted amongst other of stuff in my later updates, NPC's and Patrols will be added to the Solitude Port Sector plus clutter, amenities, fishing utilities. Its a major spot for lots of activity
Nice twisty and compact approach ascending towards the Skyway where there will be a point in which you can keep going up or take another stairway down to the ground on the opposite side of the mountain cliff
If choosing to continue your detour up; you will reach a full circle platform under the Skyway stretch which has Braziers; a great view and two large Shrubs
Continuing up the last flight of straight stairs and their you are on the Skyway close to the Skyway Central Sector
I hope you enjoy and I would love to hear the peoples feedback. Always bear in mind, I am working on this as its an outstanding project
WHAT IS EXPECTED IN THE UPDATES ARE:
Clutter at the Dock Port
Re-evaluate all the packaged BSA assets
Everything else is finished
COMPATIBILITY NOTES:
Their isn't any incompatibilities that I am aware of thus far. I picked an area pretty much left out of the picture from other Solitude Exterior alteration mods

INSTRUCTIONS TO REMOVE "DRENGIN'S BLUE PALACE TERRACE" AS MASTER
Spoiler:
Show
TOOLS REQUIRED: xEdit and Creation Kit
I figure there may be the odd user that does not want TGCoS, DBPT and nothing to do with the SEC 1.0 combinations
Be that as it may, it is not a difficult process to exempt DBPT as an embedded Masterfile
I will BY NO MEANS create a 3rd variant of this extension excluding DBPT as a Masterfile. I tried to exempt it from this but the Non-TGCoS swappable masters in the 1.1/1.2 Section require two records sharing data with DBPT thus forcing it as a Masterfile. Removing them will promote Navmesh inaccuracies when combined with one of either [1.1/1.2] MPXP1.x [PATCH - DBPT.SSkwy].esp modules
For your own personal use (if you wish to have no DBPT as Masterfile and not use any SEC1.0 content), follow through with below instructions:
(01) Load up "SSkwy Estuary Fortress Extension.esp" into xEdit (02) Right click on plugin and select "Apply Script". Find and run script "Report Masters". When the prompt appears, select "BluePalaceTerrace.esp" The Messages Tab will report the records referenced in "SSkwy Estuary Fortress Extension.esp" that are dependent or sharing "BluePalaceTerrace.esp" data (03) Thus far, there are two records that keep the Extension dependent to "BluePalaceTerrace.esp"
WBPT_ITPO_ArgonianBurrowEntryTamriel [NAVM:0010C1AF] (in GRUP Cell Temporary Children of [CELL:00009298] (in Tamriel "Skyrim" [WRLD:0000003C] at -13,24)) \ NVNM - Geometry [NAVI:00012FB4] \ Navigation Map Infos
(04) You can safely remove NAVI:00012FB4 from the Extension plugin (select the FormID > right-click > Remove). ONE DOWN. ONE TO GO. (05) Now for NAVM:0010C1AF, you will have to remove the Teleport Door Triangle reference data in the Records Sub-Data. Follow this Picture in Spoiler BELOW:
Spoiler:
Show
To view this image on a separate link to zoom in/out (so its bigger to read), LINK 'https://i.imgur.com/ObDkKOC.jpg" (without quotations)
(06) Now that all the data is gone that keeps DBPT a master, you want to select the plugin (same way as Step 02) but instead select dropdown option: "Clean Masters (=Remove all unused Masters)". After this step, you will see that "BluePalaceTerrace.esp" has been removed as a master (07) Save your work and exit xEdit (08) Now you have to generate new NAVI:00012FB4 using the CK which is very easy (09) Load up CK > Click upper left icon in CK that says (when hovering over) "Load Master/Plugin Files" (10) A prompt will appear with all loaded plugins. Double click "SSkwy Estuary Fortress Extension.esp". Make sure its little square box beside it gets ticked and then click the box below that says "Set as Active File". Make sure the Status on the right side of the plugin states "Active File" (11) Click the "Ok" button (bottom right-side of the prompt) and the CK will begin to load up all the plugin data (12) Once its finished loading, Click the icon (located to the right-side of the icon in step 06) that says (when hovering over) "Save Plugin" (13) Close the CK. You are done. Now you can use this without TGCoS, DBPT or any of the SEC1.0 Combo overhauls
Considering the remainder of work left before I have completed this Extension creation, it is highly unlikely this procedure will change at all

Up until myself taking it on; "Drengin's Blue Palace Terrace" and "LotD" could not co-exist in an Open Cities Skyrim Setup together. After creating the pages Main Combo Overhauls; I knew that they may not be for everyone. Be that as it may; I thought it was best to make a few different versions for all takes on how one overhauls their Solitude in hopes their is not one instance where one of these varying patches doesn't cut the cake and do its duty.
A more simplistic Solitude but love Open Cities Skyrim, Legacy of the Dragonborn and Drengin's Blue Palace Terrace together without Skyway Involvement.
They should work alongside other exterior overhauls and inner city overhauls so long as your Mod Setup has the correct recipe and order

Stairway to the heel of the terrace I added flame and Light to one existing brazier plus an additional brazier/flame/light to the pedestal parallel from it
Added copy of "WSLowerWall01.nif" to Tamriel world space in Solitude as to not see a hole missing in the solitude grounds where the side entrance is to the terrace from the Blue Palace Courtyard. While in TamrielWorld; looking down on in to Solitude from the roof tops. it would be noticed.

FOR: Drengin's Blue Palace Terrace (v1.1) Legacy of the Dragonborn (v5+), Solitude Skyway SE (v1.3) & Open Cities Skyrim SE (v3.1.6+) FOR: Modular Blue Palace Terrace and Solitude Patches (ONLY)
EXCLUSIVELY FOR:
Leontristain's Solitude Overhaul Providing Open Cities Skyrim integration. Unless you have two Solitude's in your Skyrim located in the same place; I would stick with one overhaul. This pages Solitude Overhaul OR you can use Leontristain's which is also terrific.
This module created is named in such a way that follows the same style of Leontristain's Patch Page.
NOT DESIGNED FOR:
MPXP [1.0] MAIN COMBO OVERHAULS ---> [1.1, 1.2 and 1.3]
This Patch has not been tested on the remainder of Leontristain's Overhaul together as a whole. This Patch may/may not work with the rest of the overhaul. I personally have never used "Palaces and Castles Enhanced" plus "Solitude Enhanced Docks". This patch works 100% for what it details it patches from The load order.
Personal Statement:
This is as far as I am gonna go with the idea of integrating Open Cities Skyrim into leontristain's overhaul. Beyond this point where Enhanced Solitude (OCS), Solitude Districts (OCS) and Palaces and Castles Enhanced (OCS) come into the picture while using Open Cities Patches out their on Nexus that exist for these mods; its just too much of a mess. I am not sure if these patches that exist need more correction work or what as I found huge amounts of duplicated objects which cause flashing and mesh flickering all over Solitude. I would have to devote all my time to this leaving no space for anything else which I just cannot afford. Furthermore, their will be like +18 mods including who knows how many patches all masters of one mega OCS Patch. Nah Ah. This is as far as the initial idea is going. I hope this patch comes in handy for some folk.
Drengin's Blue Palace Terrace [PATCH - Solitude Expansion]
Spoiler:
Show
FOR: Drengin's Blue Palace Terrace (v1.1) & Solitude Expansion (v2.66)
WHAT'S THIS PATCH DO: I would have never guessed these two mods would have any relationship issues. They actually have no associations except:
They both carry forward a vital record for the Terrace mod to work
The Terrace record keeps the orientation of an essential Rock that nests the Terrace structure intact and the one from Expansion throws it out if overwriting the Terrace mod. LOOT orders at default "The Expansion" to WIN over the "Terrace Mod" in load Priority meaning the record from the Terrace mod will not register into the game. This record is for the entire SolitudeArchRock position and the Expansion points it to a different STAT. So here is the patch that makes sure the correct record is Winning into game registration
SPECIAL NOTES:
This patch is only neccessary to use if for some reason, you NEED SE to load after DBPT
Fixes Clipping, Inappropriate placed objects that don't work well with combination of both Mods
Work in Progress as their may be spots that need follow up upon. I have included in the patch all my finds. I am sure their is more at hand that need to be addressed as the mod itself is actively updated and it is very spread-out in the Tamriel world space
Removes many subtleties that just I preferred not being associated to the TGCoS mod layout including; Many small shrubs, bushes and the odd tree and/or rock are removed from its own mod and/or also removed from being created by the Skyrim.esm, Update.esm and the USSEP.
Many Navmesh improvements for follower framework.
A carriage horse whose hooves were sunk into a dirt pile at the TGCoS main Solitude Entrance
More subtleties to list out but so minor to mention
Load Order and Requirements in Sequence: A patch that has no ties affiliated to any other mods except itself; The Primary game master files and the USSEP.
These Video's cater to Modular PatchXPress and are created and given to me by folk whom don't mind their recordings and/or captures on my page for presentation purposes. Nothing you see could ever have been achieved without the creation of the mods my page is geared towards. Great Authors. Great Work.
The Solitude you see; you can achieve, but if you ask me about this texture or that outfit; just this or that from certain video's that derive from another individuals mod stack that has nothing to do with what this page promotes, I most likely will not know.
