If you use Mator Smash, you will need the UCOW Smash Fix plugin from the Unofficial Mator Smash Updated page. Make sure to load it before UCOW, but after ICOW and OCW. Adding LOOT rules for it now. See compatibility article for more info.
If you experience a bug with the college, please report it here, not on the ICOW or OCW page, even if you are really sure it's a bug with one of those mods. I'll do what I can to verify its legitimacy then pass it along to GrantyBoy or patch it for Obscure's since she has retired from modding.
If you have found something you believe to be a bug, do what you can to verify its legitimacy (replicate it on a new game with no other mods loaded).
You can report bugs/seek support here or on my Discord in the appropriate channel.
Post your load order via https://pastebin.com/ when reporting a bug or asking for help. Please be honest about your load order, I don't judge, and I need to know that info in order to appropriately help you.
If the bug is verified, I will add it to the Bugs section and FAQ so users are aware of what has already been reported.
A note about version 1.1.0: I had to reupload this version a few times, I kept leaving this out of the FOMOD and didn't want to make a new version number since the main mod didn't change. Sorry about that folks! Upload 1 was to add three missing patches, upload 2 was to add back the replacement OCW_CellSettings.esp file (kind of important lol), upload 3 was to replace an old version of the Audio Overhaul patch. Again, I apologize for the confusion! Helpful Links:
I have received multiple reports that the “Minimap” mod causes freezing when the eye of magnus is present in the college. Isolating and fixing the issue is not a priority for me right now, so for now I will recommend you not use Minimap. The issue does not seem to be unique to UCOW, so I make that recommendation whether you use UCOW or you don’t.
Update Dec 29 2021: User TcoBlack shared this workaround. I have not tested it myself but I figured I'd provide it in this sticky anyway. Thanks for the info TcoBlack!
Just want to say that I tried a workaround suggested by a user on the minimap page.
The tweak was to set DisplayMarker in the minimap.ini to 18. I tried this without doing this first and crashed (crash happened in the location following the stairs on your right in the hall of elements to get to the next area and then more stairs (same staircase) until you get to the floor with some sort of library location. The crash occurs when trying to enter this area for me).
does anyone get the issue of the tolfdir and the students missing when the ward scene plays inside the college? sometimes 1 or 2 of the students are missing for the ward spell demonstration and sometimes tolfdir is missing. They start the scene without all of them being present.
Freaking love this mod. Question though: Does anyone know if there's a way to revert the map on the wall of the Arcanaeum? I prefer the older-looking one.
Also, how often do the cells reset? Like for people who use needs mods, how often do the soups and other foods respawn?
Just downloaded OCOW, ICOW, and UCOW earlier today. I've noticed that both of the two stairwells by the entrance inside the Hall of the Elements are blocked off. There should be an open area where you can walk up and down the stairs, but there's not. Instead, there's a big wall with a small opening and all you can see is the pillar with the plaque on it in the middle. Neither me nor the NPC's have access to the stairwell. Please help https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198161753011/screenshot/2500135468241554552/
Update, I found my way into the arcanium through the roof and found all the npc's there and now we're all stuck there with no way out
have both of you checked, if the esp from Obscure College loads after Immersive College of Winterhold. Cause my loot didnt auto sort it as mentioned by the author. Did it my self and everything works just fine
An excellent mod, a must-install... it's a pity that it's still unfinished. I once wrote to the author that it was enough to do this crap and it was time to merge everything into one file. He then answered me with aplomb that this was in no way possible, and I don’t understand anything about mod-building... And about six months later he started doing just that and wrote on discord that he was about to... Alas, he disappeared and never appeared again. It's a pity.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I keep getting CTDs from the frescoes patch despite having the no-lanterns ESL. I've tried it with the ESP, the full version ESL, and the full version ESP just to see if somehow some way anything made a difference and it did not. I'd rather not have to install the solitude only version but unless anyone reads this and has any insight I might have to.
amazing mod overall but in the hall of attainment right when i enter, everything is missing except for the lights. it looks like an occlusion culling issue or a conflict, so i tried disabling all my mods except for immersive, obscures and ultimate college of winterhold. made sure they were installed in the right order, no patches needed because these were the only 3 mods i had active. i started on a new save and still had the problem. it's not game breaking or anything, more so just a minor annoyance
Running into a weird issue when using version 1.1.0. The drawers on each side of the bed and bookshelves in the player room are missing, with just cloth, books and candles floating. When I downgrade to version 1.0, everything appears correctly.
Looking in xEdit, the objects in question are present in the v1.0 esp, but not present in the v1.1 esp. For reference, the objects are 000831CD, 000831CC, 000832CB.
hello hoping someone can help me..how would i go about re adding the OBS_DestructTrainingTarget script back to the training targets in the hall of elements??seems to be there in ucow in the ck but targets arent giving xp..please?
