About this mod
This is a much smoother "immersive" version of Skyrim Live Patrols. See changes below. This will also resolve those DynDOLOD errors you'll likely receive from the original.
- Permissions and credits
Disclaimer:
Honestly, I was working on this for ages and testing it, and now I hate this mod.
If it works, great, if not, great. Remove or add. I'm not interested in it anymore.
I'm currently using mods which add A LOT of NPCs to the roads of skyrim, and this is included.
The main things changed:
-I have removed Farmers & Commoners from NPC lists.
-Renamed some NPCs to fit into vanilla a bit better (like "elf knight" to just "knight")
-Removed buggy activator, along with many worldspaces, which these were likely gonna cause CTDs.
-Added spawned adventurer to traveller lvl'd list.
-Removed extra Forsworn & Bandits (other mods cover enough).
Why did I make this?
Well, I really I didn't like the fact that this could very likely have caused CTD's in my game, so I decided to remove the part of this mod which was affecting that pretty awfully. But keep in mind that by removing that, it also removed a whole bunch of other NPC spawn things. I'm not sure what the author of this mod originally had in mind, but I do not think it was to do it the way which he did it. It probably would have been a lot better if he had only made new placed NPC records, rather than overwriting vanilla Skyrim placed NPC records. Because I think that that was the main problem of all this. To be honest, I haven't actually tested some of these extra traveler, orc and Nord NPC's. You will definitely be able to see the NPC's on the horses, because I have tested that. But I couldn't seem to find any of those travelers in the game. And unless somebody is interested in working on this mod and adding these extra leveled lists to some form of world placements, then this probably isn't going to go too far. But either way, you are very welcome to freely use this mod which I've uploaded. And hopefully your DynDOLOD will work safe and sound.
tl;dr - less annoying NPC's and CTD avoidance.
If you are interested I made a bug report on Skyrim Live Patrols mod page regarding these CTD's which may appear in game. When I was using the original mod however, I did not experience any CTD's while using the original mod.

Thank you to koza1992 for uploading the mod.
For anybody wanting to fix this even more: alright so when I originally saw the errors coming up while trying to create LOD's there was something which could possibly be done to this mod which I thought was way too hard of a mission to be able to achieve with this. So if anybody knows how, please tell me if there is a script or something which can be used to be able to do this. But here it is:
1. The main issue was that the mod author removed certain aspects of placed NPC records. These were originally in Skyrim.ESM and are the supposed cause of CTDs according to dynDOLOD.
Possible solution:
If you want to, you should be able to just drag these ACHR records over from Skyrim.esm and overwrite the blank slate records used by Skyrim live patrols.
In order to be able to fix this, you have to download the original mod (not mine) and go through and overwrite each adjusted records but the skyrim.esm file. you can try to make a patch like this as well.
