Drengin's Blue Palace Terrace - JK's Blue Palace - Patch

Overview

This mod contains patches I made for Drengin's Blue Palace Terrace and JK's Blue Palace

Update 4/18/2021: Uploaded a combopatch (BluePalaceTerrace-LOTD-JKsBluePalace-Patch.esp) for BPT-LOTD-JKsBluePalace combination as well. This depends on the BPT-JKsBluePalace patch here, as well as my BPT-LOTD patch (BluePalaceTerrace-LegacyOfTheDragonborn-Patch) from Modular Blue Palace Terrace and Solitude Patches. Load order between patches probably doesn't matter as long as dependency order is observed. In my test environment my order is as follows:

• []LegacyoftheDragonborn.esm

  []BluePalaceTerrace.esp

  []JK's Blue Palace.esp

  []BluePalaceTerrace-LegacyOfTheDragonborn-Patch.esp

  []BluePalaceTerrace-JKsBluePalace-Patch.esp

  []BluePalaceTerrace-LOTD-JKsBluePalace-Patch.esp

  With this setup, side gallery of BPT is moved into an interior cell, and gallery door to Solitude city has been moved inside the blue palace courtyard. All doors involved has been tested with a follower in both directions to ensure navmesh integrity.

  So JK's Blue Palace was released this weekend. Because it's JK's, naturally I downloaded and took a look, and it's pretty great, because it's JK's and JK's stuff are always pretty great. Since I also maintain a set of patches for BPT here, I felt a bit motivated to try a patch, and after a whole weekend of debugging and learning more stuff, I seem to have succeeded. In time, I will probably try to roll this patch into the family of other BPT patches I have, but that will require more work, so for the time being here is the BPT-JK's Blue Palace patch.

  What You Need To Know

  • []VERY IMPORTANT: load JK's Blue Palace after BPT, then use this patch.

    []If you use other BPT-related patches that could possibly touch the main blue palace interior, make sure to load both JK's and my patch AFTER those other ones. It is important for JK's + my patch to completely win and override any BPT content within the main blue palace interior, so we don't want another BPT patch's overrides to undo the intent of JK's + my patch.

    What The Patch Does

    []SolitudeBluePalace cell is 100% JK's

    []... but BPT's priestess continues to live and eat there, and BPT's imperial/stormcloak guard will continue to patrol there

    []... and you get new doors leading to BPT terrace, side gallery, and basement, in locations that make sense and close to where BPT had them

    []... all remaining BPT content is untouched and still there

    [*]All doors tested with a follower in b
