📋 About This Mod

If you wanna support me making these little patches I made a Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Cloud_Studios

Hurraaay everyone! The official port of Interesting NPCs was updated, and going by that changelog this mod and your support might've had something to do with it!

This page will stay up, as after checking the update out, a lot of my patches are still relevant, as is the information provided in my description.

Interesting NPCs is a very popular and expansive mod that adds a large amount of unique NPCs to Skyrim's world. However, some of these NPCs touch on sensitive subject that some players may not want to engage in. I didn't want these users to be deprived of the fun of Interesting NPCs so I've made some patches to remove offending NPCs.

I've cast a wide net with these patches, to hopefully accommodate everyone. To be honest, I don't plan to even use every patch here myself.

All patches are ESL-flagged ESPs.

If you have any suggestions for NPCs you find inappropriate or offensive, please leave them in the comments!

Compatibility

No conflicts with mods altering the NPCs (like giving them new outfits or faces). My patches don't actually touch the NPCs to remove them.

May conflict with mods that change the placement of each NPC, such as patches for city overhaul mods. Load these patches after.

As of 1. 1 the full Griffith and Morrigan patch removes all of Interesting NPCs' additions to the Workers' House in Mixwater Mill, so patches for that location are obsolete.

Cut Content and Resulting Issues

Interesting NPCs is written to be interconnected, so many NPCs will reference other NPCs in dialogue. These references are usually vague, however, so they probably won't feel immersion breaking.

During the quest Brother and Keeper, Morrigan mentions a "draugr" helping her, likely referring to Moris the Draugr.

Sunken-Roots mentions a Dunmer in the quest The Raven of Anvil, which is probably Raynes.

Rumarin references Vigram frequently, as he lives with him whenever not travelling with you.

The full Griffith and Morrigan patch makes it impossible to do the quest Brother and Keeper.

The Raynes patch makes it impossible to do the quest The Law Always Wins, which is also a prerequisite for the quest Brother and Keeper.

Brother and Keeper is a prerequisite for three other quests: The Aldmeri Prisoner, A Debt of Blood, and As You Like It. As a result, either of the Raynes patch or the full Griffith and Morrigan patch will make these quests impossible to start and complete. As far as I know, this doesn't cause any issues, it just means you can't play that content.

If you're using the unofficial Legacy of the Dragonborn, you'll probably be unable
