Fixes all navmesh issues between Windhelm Bridge Overhaul and Windhelm Exterior Altered * fixed all warnings/errors/pathfinding issues identified by the ck in the navmesh.. holy s#*! on a stick * fixed landscape tears caused by Windhelm Bridge Overhaul * applied relevant USSEP updates as of 4.1.3 * fixed all but one water flow issue; i cannot ascertain the cause of the strange water by the house on the west side of windhelm docks
I assume you've cleaned the deleted navmeshes in WBO and WEA... I have no idea how the patch will behave if you have not. Always clean deleted navmeshes from mods... always...
Tested the entire bridge and dock area is fully navigable by running along spawning clusters of falkreath and windhelm guards and watching them navigate across each section to reach each other to duke it out civil war style... One or two out of a couple hundred soldiers in all got stuck but that was all.. and that was due to clipping an edge while trying to climb that crazy twisty wooden staircase.
Isolated load order... Windhelm Bridge Overhaul -> Windhelm Exterior Altered -> Patch ... Expanded load order that i'm running... JUSTICE -> JK -> Dawn -> JK Dawn Patch -> Windhelm Bridge -> Windhelm Exterior -> Windhelm Lighthouse -> Patch

The patch works great for the upper half on the bridge. 2 spots still alters the terrain land tears. Right in front of the bridge on the road. As well as river bed just right in front of the first Ship same side as Haalu farm. Is it possible to fix?
I don't have things setup to check right now but that patch does include fixes for all landscape tears between windhelm bridge overhaul and windhelm exterior altered. Either your mods are in the incorrect order or you have another mod interfering in that area.
Doors that do not work, NPCs that do not speak, snow floating in the air, tears in textures, dirty edits and deleted navmeshes, AND it tanks my FPS hard - and this is after using the patch from jdsmith2816. I can't even imagine how bad this mod was before. I can see the idea behind it and it's a good idea, just that this mod (and the docks one from the same author) requires a lot of polishing and fixing. jdsmith2816 jdsmith2816jdsmith2816
This looks cool, building mod list and testing things so will be good to see how this looks, also grabbed the nav mesh fix when I cleaned the two mods it found 9 deleted meshes between this and the exterior overhaul which I grabbed. Now gonna go see how they look in game. :)
EDIT Wow the bridge now feels so alive, can't ride my horse down to the gates now but that's no problem, love looking at the wares being sold and the fixes above solved any issues and it works with Frostvale Estate without burying it in snow like City Entrances Overhaul - Windhelm did. Walking around the docks feels more like a proper dock now and the easy way to get from the docks to the bridge without going through the city is a fab idea.
SSEEdit v4.0.2 found 9 ITM records and 4 deleted navmeshes. It is strongly recommended not to use mods that contain deleted navmeshes as they're known to cause crashes. Deleted navmeshes must be corrected manually (a complex process that should be done by the mod author). More information on deleted navmeshes is provided here.
I really love the idea. Especaly the added merchants. But sadly I won't use it because of stability.
To bjs_336: You've made an excellent mod. It really livens up the bridge leading into Windhelm, and I have no idea how I've tolerated the vanilla layout until now.
To everyone else (possibly bjs): I'm not sure if this is a good place to ask this, but I had a quick question about the mod's files. I have another mod called Windhelm Bridge Archways and Doors that adds arches to the rectangular doorways leading into the bridge's interior. It also adds grating in the openings facing the road running adjacent to the bridge, just like this mod. The grating from both mods overlap each other and make that side of the bridge look really goofy. I would like to keep the grating and arches from the WBAD, and I want to go into this mod's files and delete the one(s) that add(s) its grating (I'm assuming that's how it works). I don't have any software to read them with and have very little modding experience. I'd rather not delete a vital piece of information and have to go through the rigmarole of deleting and reinstalling the mod over and over again to get the results that I would like. Does anyone know which file(s) in the mod add(s) the grating? Would the change I'm attempting produce the results that I want? Would the author disapprove of a change like this? Am I even asking the right questions? Am I an idiot?
If anyone is still having Tearing Issues from where the Bridge Meets the Road I have a solution that might work. I use Windhelm Bridge Overhaul Full, but I don't use Windhelm Exterior Altered. So I don't know if it'll work or if its necessary if you use Windhelm Exterior Altered.
Open the Plugin in SSEEdit. Find 0000C4FC, 0000C4FD, and 0000C51E. Find the entries for VNML - Vertex Normals and VHGT - Vertex Height Map. Copy the entries over from Update.esm over to Windhelm Bridge Overhaul.esp. Once you do that the text should turn Green with a Yellow Background. Exit SSEEdit and save Windhelm Bridge Overhaul.esp.
So I did that, and it completely got rid of any Tearing near where the Bridge meets the Road. I hope this helps. And if the Author want's they can incorporate it in the Mod if they feel it's necessary.
Wow! Thank you! It worked beautifully! I learned something new also, as I am a SSEEdit "noob". I was about to ask how to find the entries (I did manage to find the three cells by expanding the trees but was confused after that), I clicked the cell number on the left and (poof!) there it was on the right side! Thanks again!
EDIT: Also, if you have the Routa house (sits near stables) make sure you have the overhaul load AFTER the house or there is a BIG tear in the road at the bridge. If Bridge Overhaul loads immediately after the Routa house it looks perfect!

2 spots still alters the terrain land tears.
Right in front of the bridge on the road.
As well as river bed just right in front of the first Ship same side as Haalu farm.
Is it possible to fix?
