📋 About This Mod
Moon and Star is an old quest mod that's been around a long time and still used. The navmesh is very bad though and actively broken in mutiple places. In one spot, it even deletes a chunk of navmesh from a vanilla road. This patch contains handmade navmesh for every interior cell and worldspace cell touched by Moon and Star, fixing the problems introduced by the original mod. Additionally, Moon and Star was not made with Dawnguard DLC as a master. This patch forwards cell level data (particularly regarding water data near Little Vivec) from the DLC for compatibility. Additionally, it disables a single static added by Moon and Star that interferes with the Ruunvald site from Dawnguard.

💡 Beginner Tips

- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, let it handle the load order automatically, but double-check that this patch is placed after the main mod.
- Start a new save or load a save before entering the Moon and Star areas to see the pathfinding improvements take effect.
