Changelogs
Formerly 'Legacy of the Dragonborn - Volkihar Knight Patch.'  (The old versions are still available but aren't officially endorsed. The V6 version of the patch can be found in the Official Patch FOMOD) 

Version 2.0+ includes all my unofficial third-party patches for Legacy of the Dragonborn in a single (mostly) automated installer. 


I've wanted to combine them all into a single mod page and installer for a while now, but the V6 update for Legacy of the Dragonborn felt like a good time to hustle on that. Most of the patches will be suggested automatically, manual selections will be noted as they appear. This installer isn't intended to replace or otherwise interfere with the official patches.

Previous versions of Legacy of the Dragonborn are not supported, and yes you will definitely need to start a new game for V6. If you're hesitant to start over, there's no harm in waiting for Legacy and its many patches to settle a bit. 

These patches are not officially endorsed by the LOTD devs, so they might overlap with an official patch in the future. I try keep them from conflicting as time allows, but it's something to be aware of. Any conflicts that come up in the future will be noted in this section. Please leave all support questions related to these patches in the comments or send me a DM. 

All patches are ESL-flagged unless stated otherwise. Make sure to grab any fixed/new patches from the Updates secton. 
Please read the mod description (or at least the FAQ) before asking for help.

Patches marked with an asterisk (*) are NOT compatible with LOTD v5. 

Unofficial Patches:
Spoiler:

-----
Aethernautics - Adds a small display to the Hall of Lost Empires (7), under the stairs. Also includes a quest display (1) and a couple Dwemer dig sites to be found while exploring the Rthamaz. Adds an archaeology table to the Aethership captain's quarters. 

Blackreach Railroad - Adds a small display to the Hall of Lost Empires (2), on the lower level. Also includes a quest display (1) and a couple Dwemer dig sites to be found while clearing the rail stations. Adds some museum workbenches to the player home.
A patch is available for Blackreach Railroad - Player Cabin Redone on its mod page.

Brhuce Hammar Legacy - Adds a small display (17) to the Hall of Lost Empires, under the stairs. Includes multiple quest displays (5) and a few Nordic/Dwemer dig sites to find while going on quests with Brhuce.

Fall of the Space Core Vol. 1* - Adds a small display (2) to the Safehouse on the first floor. If you're worried about the core's incessant chatter it does stop talking eventually, for some reason.
I can't redistribute the converted mod so there's a written guide on how to port it from Oldrim under Miscellaneous Files, and optionally flag it as an ESL. A patch is available for both variants of the patch you may end up with.

The Brotherhood of Old - Adds a medium display (26/27) to Dragonborn Hall, and includes quest displays (2). Removes a duplicate relic and replaces it with a hint at the LOTD version. Includes a variant for folks using Oblivion Artifact Pack SE, which removes a duplicate relic in favor of the official LOTD patch's display for OAP. A museum shipment crate can be found outside the new inn.

The Lost Wonders of Mzark - Adds a small display to the Hall of Lost Empires (13), under the stairs. Includes a quest display (1).

Your Choices Matter - A Dark Brotherhood Expansion SSE - Adds a small display (5) to the Hall of Secrets.



Safehouse Patches:
Spoiler:  
Show

Don't add Safehouse patches to a save in progress, the original Follower room furniture won't be hidden correctly.
These patches use the same room scheme as Khajiit Will Follow's patches from the official Followers Patch page, use the chart above to help plan your follower room layout. KWF will use the entirety of room A or B. Once you purchase the follower room furniture most of the new stuff added by the Safehouse patch(es) will appear as well. 

Serana and Teldryn have at least one patch variant in each room. With most followers being moved to the Explorer's Guild in LOTD V6, you should be able to use all follower patches, official and unofficial at the cost of both Safehouse rooms.
-----
Serana - Adds a room with displays (6) for the Dawnguard DLC follower Serana and a new 'signature' weapon for her. The room is sparse at first but once you finish the Dawnguard DLC it becomes fully furnished. Room variants include: A-3, A-4, B-2*, and B-4*. Compatible with Serana Dialogue Addon and other Serana mods. 

Teldryn Sero - Adds a room with displays (3) for the Dragonborn DLC follower Teldryn Sero and a new 'signature' weapon for him. The room starts out sparse but is furnished fully once you complete the Dragonborn DLC. Room variants include: A-2 and B-3*. Compatible with Teldryn Serious and other Teldryn mods.
-----
Known issue: Due to how the post-quest furniture works, If you don't purchase the Follower Room A and/or B furniture before you complete the relevant DLC or you'll see floating objects in the room until you do. I can't imagine a lot of folks wait that long before going to the museum but I wanted to mention it anyway.

Compatibility ramble:
None of the Safehouse patches alter follower AI or where they're dismissed to, so they shouldn't interfere with any follower mods. You'll need a mod that changes where a follower lives, though.
My go-to is Nether Follower Framework's 'Home Base' feature, because NFF is also a great vanilla follower framework. If you're using mods like Serana Dialogue Addon or Teldryn Serious, I wouldn't add them to any follower management framework unless the mod author has explicitly said that would work.




Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can you port x discontinued official patch to v6?
A: No. 


Q: "Can I have x patch for v5?" "Will x patch work with v5?" etc.
A: Most of the patches in the FOMOD will work with LOTD v5. The only ones that won't are the Serana/Teldryn B Room patches, and the Fall of the Space Core patch. Any future updates or additional patches will be made with the updated Creation Kit for LOTD V6 only.

Q: Can you make a patch for x mod/a Safehouse room for x follower mod?
A: I don't have any patches in the works right now and no immediate plans to make more for the time being. I'll post updates and fixes when needed and can still offer support as time allows. 

Q: Where can I find (display item)? 
A: Some of the mods have missable display items, either being locked to certain choices within the mod or being located in an area you can't return to without cheating:
  • Brhuce Hammar Legacy
  • The Brotherhood of Old
  • Your Choices Matter - A Dark Brotherhood Expansion SSE
If you're stuck and just want to find that last missing item to complete a display, check this Google doc for the location of each one: SPOILER DOC


Requirements:
Legacy of the Dragonborn 6.2.1+
LOTD The Curator's Companion 7.0.2+ - optional, only needed if you want relic tracking stuff for the unofficial patches.


Installation:
Only Mod Organizer 2 and Vortex installations are supported. The FOMOD will attempt to select patches based on the mods you have installed.

Patches for Curator's Companion are available at the end of the installer. The installer checks for the TCC plugin (DBM_RelicNotifications.esp) so be sure to install that before running my installer.

Updates to the individual patches will be uploaded as separate files and eventually rolled into the next major version of the FOMOD, you can safely overwrite/merge these after running the FOMOD.
