📋 About This Mod
Ashe - Crystal Heart places an extra cave entrance right where the entrance to Underground Bathhouse and Paradise Valley is supposed to be and blocks it. Meaning Paradise Valley users cannot get in.
This entrance does not lead anywhere and is not used for anything as of now in the Ashe mod. So, all I did was delete it. Now users can have both of those mods and not worry about the entrance of Paradise Valley being blocked.
ESL flagged.
Try to have Ashe already installed before downloading this patch. Installing both at the same time might lead to it not working.
As of version 1. 3. 3 of Ashe, the entrance is still blocked, and this patch is still needed for UBPV users.
Not working?
Myself and others have had the same problem where sometimes it does not work just with certain saves. There are certain things you need to check.
First, what is your load order? Again, make sure the compatibility patch is lower down in the Creations list than the main Ashe file. I would take my patch and put it at the very bottom of the list. That helped me.
If that does not work, make a save where you only have the main Ashe file. Disable the patch or don't have it installed just yet when you make this save. Then go back to the main menu, enable/install the patch and then load that save. Again, make sure the patch is lower down on the list than the main Ashe file. See what happens.
You might have tried making a new character to make it work. If you were having the problem with your last main character, it will probably affect your new character as well. Try to fix the problem with your main character using the methods I suggested or else you will always have problems with newer characters.
I have noticed that if I play a save where the patch is working and then create a new character (or load an older one from before I had Ashe), the new character will work fine as well.
If I play a save where the patch is NOT working and then create a new character or load an older one, it still won't work for those either. It would seem playing with a save/character with the malfunction will spread it around to other saves/characters. Don't create new characters or load older ones unless your most recent one is working.
Martimius for creating Ashe - Crystal Heart.
Andragon for creating Underground Bathhouse and Paradise Valley.
A small compatibility patch that removes the extra cave entrance added by the Ashe mod, which was blocking access to Paradise Valley. For players using both mods, this fixes a map conflict. With 60 endorsements and recent updates, it's a niche but useful fix.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solves a real problem if you run both mods (60 endorsements show others needed it)
- Tiny patch, so it's low-risk and easy to install
- Recently updated (May 2025), so it's likely compatible with current mod versions
⚠️ Cons
- Only useful if you have both Ashe and Paradise Valley installed—otherwise it does nothing
- Small mod with limited community feedback (60 endorsements), so edge cases might not be covered
- Potential conflicts if other mods also alter the same cave entrance area
For modders who run both Ashe and Paradise Valley and hit the blocked entrance bug. Skip if you don't use both mods—this patch is purely a fix, not a content addition.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have both Ashe and Paradise Valley installed before adding this patch, or it won't have any effect.
- If you're using a mod manager, just drop the file in and let it overwrite—no load order tweaks needed for a simple patch like this.
- Check that no other mods modify the same cave entrance; if they do, you might need to load this patch after them.
