You talked to Ri'saad, you found all 4 Bandit Camps, killed all Leaders, their henchmen even started their revenge crusade on you.

But open and close the Sewer lid all you want, you shall not pass.

Well if you must, go on now...

Details

Sooo...it works for me now. Saints & Seducers adds a new worldspace that is formerly connected to the sewer entrance before Solitude marketplace, right at the Winking Skeever. Via a door. Arthmoor set a new door marker in his open-world 'Solitude Exterior 02' worldspace and linked it to the Ladder in ccBGSSSE025RootDungeon (the GSDS Sewer interior). There is only one way in and out - that door.

Here's where I lost it. I re-linked that interior door marker to the OCS one. Although there were 2 xMarkerHeading's, the ladder itself was linked to the exit in the original 'SolitudeWorld'. That might have prevented the way in as well. I think. No really, I'm not sure. Ask Arthmoor.

My patch SHOULD not be necessary: "Current versions of OCS have this fixed natively because S&S is base game material now. There used to be a separate patch in the OCS patch archive but that no longer exists."  -Arthmoor, creator of Open Cities.

In xEdit, look for: Cell [RootDungeon] --> persistent [0600A54]. That's the door reference I changed. I also unchecked "initially disabled" somewhere. I guess that removes the requirement to follow the questline in order to access the sewers. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The Mod contains what I guess are IDMs - Identical to Master records. Leave them. Just in case something overwrites those records in my load order, I double clicked all doors in question and closed the window via "ok" in CK - that's how you get those records.


FAQ
Q: If this Patch is no longer necessary, why is it here?
A: I don't know why the native fix in OCS didn't take for me. But it didn't. Maybe in someone else's case it didn't either.

Q: Can You make another patch for something else?
MYY MOTHER TOLD ME

Q: Does load order matter?
man I don't know...

Q: There's a new version of the dependencies. Does this need an update and will you make one?

Q: Can I remake/Re-up this?
SAIL TO...wait, what? Ah..
Don't spawn re-ups everywhere. Or anywhere. Ask me first. That also goes if you make a copy of this mod. MAKE ME AWARE! If yours is superior, I wanna know that I can take this down. Thanks!

Q: Your Mod has IDMs. Safe to remove?
I butchered that region in CK - Be happy I removed that snow troll edit outside Solitude. What else do you want???
