📋 About This Mod

Simple Open - Patches

A collection of patches for Simple Open Freeside and Simple Open Strip. Most of these are personal patches that I am sharing to help others.

  • []All patches have updated Navmeshes where required.

    []Quests, activators, and scripts tested.

    []Clean, ESM, etc.

    ------------------------------------------------------------

    Simple Open Freeside

    FPGE - Functional Post Game Ending

    • []Since Trooper decided to retire their patch, I made one here.

      []Tested various endings, all seems to be working.

      []Note: This patch expects a Vanilla "Open Freeside". Any Freeside overhaul or other mod adding things to Freeside will need their own patch to compliment this one.

      []This patch is being kept here for convenience, but is unlikely to receive any updates as I no longer use FPGE myself. That said, it should still be compatible with the latest versions unless major changes happen to FPGE.

      Tale of Two Wastelands

      • []Updated patch for TTW 3. 4.

        []Not much was added to Freeside in TTW 3. 4 (mostly YUP stuff), so this patch is very similar to this one Simple Open Freeside - TTW 3. 3. 3 Patch. Use which ever you want; this was just built using TTW 3. 4, so it forwards like 2 additional things you'll likely never notice.

        Goodies

        • []As of Goodies v2. 4, only a single patch is required as all cut content was moved into Goodies.

          []Extra Goodies no longer needs a patch.

          []Goodies FPGE + Simple Open Freeside patches have been retired as FPGE is no longer supported by Goodies itself.

          []I also no longer use FPGE, and will be phasing out FPGE support for any future patches.

        []All relevant references moved to the new worldspace, and duplicates disabled.

        []Updated scripts to reference "FreesideWorld" where appropriate.

        Lived-In Freeside

        • []Version provided for Vanilla or TTW.

          []If using TTW, load AFTER Simple Open Freeside - TTW due to NavMesh.

          []NOTE: TTW version expects, but does not specifically require, the patch available from here.

        []All relevant references moved to the new worldspace, and duplicates disabled.

        []Updated NavMesh where appropriate.

        Freeside Facelift LITE

        • []All objects moved to the FreesideWorld worldspace, duplicate objects handled.

          []No FPGE compatibility, though I may look into this at some point. Clipping may occur in an FPGE state.

          Freeside Overhaul - Episode I
