If one doesn't exist, I either don't know, or it doesn't. My testing list (probably out of date at this point, but close enough) is here. Being on it doesn't guarantee that I'll make a patch if it needs one, but if it's on that list and one isn't present, you've got decent odds of not needing it.
2. Can you make a patch for {insert mod here}?
Probably yes, but I'm also not planning on it. I've burnt out HARD the past couple months. I'm scratching the surface trying to start up on stuff I always planned on doing, but I do NOT intend to have my TODO list grow at this point, because it'd be a miracle if I finish what's on it at this point.
2a. What about {insert lighting mod}?
As this was pointed few times before - we're not planning to make the patches for ELFX Shadows. WiZKiD and nicola are working on their own ELFX Shadows - Official Patches Hub, so if you're looking for a patch, you should ask there. ELFX patches available here should work with ELFX Shadows, but some issues can occur. Patches for ELFX Enhancer and ELFX Hardcore won't be compatible due to compacting and eslifying both modules in ELFX Shadows. Those available here are dedicated to original ELFX Enhancer / Hardcore.
RLO and Relighting Skyrim were started at one point and then abandoned because the parent mods hadn't removed bulbs they disabled which made working with them in CK a nightmare. Relighting Skyrim, as of late 2022, has fixed this so there's potential to revisit this at some point in the future, but it's not an immediate concern.
3. You made a patch for {mod}. Is it good?
Honestly, as weird as this sounds, I have no idea. A lot of them I've never played with they're things I just thought looked neat. Some of them are staples of my load order. Some of them are things I tried and made a patch for but ended up not liking. Having a patch should not be taken as a recommendation or indication of quality.
4. My game crashed after installing your patches, what gives?
Crashing usually happens because you have some mod which is compacted formIDs, and the patches assume you have not compacted. Patches are made to compacted versions if they're available on the main mod page, otherwise to the uncompacted versions. You may have a compacted version from a discord or something, or in the case of armor mods it's very common for bodyslide specific re-uploads of stuff to compact plugins for people. That's great, but the installer has no way to differentiate, so I stick to the original. You'll need to work around that yourself.
5. I found a bug!
That's not a question. Also, great! Also, an incompatibility isn't a bug. If you want to let us know what's going on, please use screenshots, and especially More Informative Console to point out what's wrong. It might also make you realize it wasn't, in fact, our patch that's the problem :D
Moving forwards, any bug filed without screenshots with MIC, or appropriate description of debug steps taken will be closed as not a bug without response. We've been fielding debug requests for a long time now - years at this point - and while there's certainly potential for stuff to be wrong in our patches, they've been around long enough and there's SO f***ing MANY of them that trying to disprove any random bug report is a fool's errand and honestly is the primary drain on motivation for making anything new. We are 100% happy to fix any bugs in our s***. But before we handle them, it's on you to demonstrate that it's our s*** causing the bug.
6. This patch says it needs {insert CC master here}
Anytime we load up CK, it loads up ALL masters (including those CC) and includes them on the patches. The update is over a year old, I'm done cleaning the masters every time for people who don't want to update.
Options? You can create dummy esps with the names of the missing CC plugins, and then clean the masters in the patch file using xEdit. Google it, it's not that hard. But really, just update the game at this point. You can update the game and then use Skyrim Lite Loader or "Best of both worlds" version of Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Downgrade Patcher - you'll still have the 1.5.97.0 engine (so all these DLL/SKSE mods which still haven't received the update to the newest version of the game would still work) and all the free CC content which is needed by recent versions of USSEP, CRF, AI Overhaul, Immersive Citizens and ever-increasing amount of our patches based on these mods.
I've made a Discord server to handle quick questions for those so inclined, and my TODO/pre-release stuff should be there (it's a smidge out of date right now, sorry). There might be folks who can help answer quick questions in there (including us!) but no guarantees.
Just in case someone want to you. Threre is a little clipping with Sepolcri . And i have a little bit dislocated black birds sitting in the air. It mast be Mihail´s Crows or Mihail´s Ravens.
Went looking. Sepolcri doesn't add anything (it literally doesn't touch Solstheim), and Skaal Village doesn't have graves, so you've got something else adding graves there.
Patch required for Noble Skyrim. Currently when used with Noble Skyrim, the 'window' above Greathall door will be transparent and look into the empty space.
Hm... I wonder if Skaal You Need could be patched so the house has the same architectural style... or patched so the Skaal You Need house straight up replaces the player home from SVO
leafmoar - I've checked it, you need both patches rei321 - it's strange, but it looks like some problem on your side; I've just checked it with newest (4.2.6a) USSEP and Skaal Village USSEP patch on AE and downgraded SE game version, my game starts and I can jump (coc) into Skaal Village without any problems
thank you for the patches, and i have tested these two mods 1) https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/44087 and 2) https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/33752 and they are working fine with the skaal village overhaul at the same time, can i request that you make a patch for these clearing the navmesh issues between these mods, ii have tested this with followers and some minor issues are in place, plus you can thoroughly check for any issues in CK for any further conflicts, and also waiting for greater skaal village patch ... thanks
Just as a heads up, it could be a false positive, but my pc is flagging the main file as a trojan. Tried downloading twice and it keeps blocking it. Not sure what's up.
Yeah, that was weird. When I double clicked the zip on my drive, I got the same warning. Quarantined, deleted the archive, remade it, and nothing, manually rescanned the file. So that's uploaded and I'm scanning my whole drive at this point with a few different systems, but the fact that the detection was a !ml, that implies it was machine learning, so my guess is that it's a false positive (which also means it may pop up with this one again. Sigh).
One's already come back clean, I'll let you know if the others show up with anything.

Rule of thumb - if the FOMOD has radio dials, it's either/or, stuff is included. If it's a check box, you need every one you can get.
