Unofficial Skyrim Modder's Patch - USMP

I regret to announce that USMP is now officially no longer supported. However, it may be used as a modder's resource to all. Thank you for your understanding.

Skyrim is an epic game, and modding is the epic minigame that goes along with it! Still, it's not without its issues and once you get under the hood it doesn't take long before you notice the many inconsistencies, shortcuts, half finished changes, and plain old mistakes that Bethesda made when they were putting together this fantastic game. This is where the Unofficial Skyrim Modder's Patch comes in!

USMP is a large, community-collected compilation of fixes for the many bugs, inconsistencies, and errors that are either completely visual (placement of objects, or object models not being set up correctly) or only come to light from a modded install of Skyrim and its DLCs. Curated with both mod-makers and players in mind to aid the in-game experience, and serve as a base so that mod authors don't need to keep finding, fixing, and working around the same old problems. With all of these in a single ESP, it means it's load order friendly too so you can add more mods instead of using up your precious ESP limit just trying to fix things!

We will be seeking out and contacting publishers of bug fixes to include their work in USMP, but if you're a mod-maker and have found a bug, error or inconsistency that wouldn't normally be an issue for the vanilla game, but is totally an issue with your mod in mind, then let us know! Read through the FAQ section below, and then report it using the 'Bugs' tab above ^^.

This isn't the first mod to try to fix the underlying issues with Skyrim, but it IS the first to attempt to fix the issues that make modding the game such a minefield in such a comprehensive way.

This mod is in no way affiliated with, nor endorsed by, the Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch team, nor should they be expected to do so. The team there work to a very specific design goal and it differs from ours, so please don't nag them about this mod or fixes contained within it!

Q: Doesn't the Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch do this already?

Well, not really, no...

You see, the USLEEP team have a very specific goal for their mod. Their intention is to address bugs and issues that effect vanilla gameplay, and the fixes they apply are designed not to effect the vanilla experience in a negative way. This is an entirely understandable goal, and the work they've done to achieve this is as admirable as it is impressive.

However, this means that bugs and errors that only come to light or cause problems in a modded S
