Some random stuff:
- You can use both the High Poly NPC Overhaul and Pandorable's NPCs patches together. But only use all AI Overhaul versions or all not AI Overhaul versions. Also, I recommend that you load the High Poly NPCs Overhaul patches before the Pandorable patches. That way the NPCs that Pandorable touches will appear in game, and the other NPCs will be covered by High Poly NPC Overhaul.
- For the AI Overhaul version, the Bards Reborn AI Overhaul & USSEP patch is a hard requirement. AI Overhaul requires USSEP, there are AI package changes against AI Overhaul in that patch which get used in my patch, and I forward records for 3 for the NPCs from that patch.
- For the NPCs which were covered by AI Overhaul but NOT covered by the Bards Reborn AI Overhaul & USSEP patch, I forwarded the AI packages from the Bards Reborn mod and any other unique packages from AI Overhaul itself. Look in SSEEdit... it's interesting.
- I combined the patches for Pandorable NPCs and Pandorable's NPCs - males together to make things easier. If you are using one and not the other, you really need to think long and hard about the kind of person you are. :P
- For those using Wrye Bash, all the patches should have appropriate Bash tags to ensure the factions, inventory items and AI packages get pulled in. In my testing (i.e. I ran Bash over and over until it spit out what I wanted to see), the combo of tags I chose is working. Definitely open to feedback for future updates.
- If you have other questions, just ask in the comments and I will get to them.
