- skyBirds now incorporates the changes that were the point of the USSEP and SkyTEST patches, so the patches are no longer necessary. They've been removed from the mod, making the FOMOD installer unnecessary as well. Please don't forget to unghost them (if you did ghost them) before uninstalling the previous version of the mod.
I can't be absolutely sure, but the conflicts are minor. If you don't want to install another patch, you will more than likely not have anything gamebreaking without it.
In fact, with USSEP and SkyTEST the conflicts are indeed rather minor, so minor that you might not even notice them. USSEP fixes a bug that prevents Chickens' Nests from producing eggs which is reverted by skyBirds and SkyTEST conflict is basically just that it reverts the updated clucking behavior (I can't believe I wrote that).
The conflict with Better Harvesting is more significant though, since skyBirds reverts the yields of some (not all) plants and mushrooms back to their vanilla values. I made this collection mostly to fix this one.
EDIT: Turns out my patch should work with animal loot just as well, since my patch only changes flora. I've changed the FOMOD installer for my mod to recognize this fact.
The patch has Better Harvesting.esp as a master. It needs to have Better Harvesting( animal loot version).esp as a master in order for it work with out having both active(which goes against the instructions). Thanks for publishing these, by the way.
I'm not 100% certain what you mean. If you're asking whether or not this patch would work for USSEP and SkyTEST if you don't have Better Harvesting, then the answer is yes. This mod has three files and a FOMOD installer that allows you to select which files you want to install, so if you don't have Better Harvesting just don't tick the checkbox in the installer.

- The patch for Better Harvesting was updated.
I saw that both mods have been further updated as of december 2017, so does this mod still work or is it outdated? :/

Are those dirty edits? Why would skyBirds edit plants? That's concerning to me.
I'll endorse it after I've run with it a few days.
