📋 About This Mod

Been a while since it's been a new one of these, huh? Well, not for a new mod, but rather the grand old Immersive College of Winterhold! While working on the JKs College of Winterhold - ICOW patch (which is currently in beta), I realized it'd be a good idea to get a baseline expectation of what combo patches would be needed, which led to this. Each mod which has a patch is listed below, with specific details of all changes contained in spoilers, if necessary. All patches are ESP flagged as ESL, unless otherwise noted.

Please remember that patches sometimes involve Persistent references, so they will require a new save/playthrough. Before making a request for help, please double check that the problem exists on such a new save.

Additionally, please note that an SFCO patch already exists on the SFCO patch page, many patches (ELFX, etc) are already included with ICOW itself, Miscellaneous College of Winterhold Tweaks already contains an ICOW version for Early Elementalist, and LOTD already has a patch for ICOW.

Additionally, ICOW already has patches for Cutting Room Floor and M'rissi, but I already made new ones before I realized it and I like how mine are implemented, so nyah. They won't be included in the FOMOD, but they'll be on the optional page :P

If anyone is using Ultimate College of Winterhold in combo with Obscure's, I have no idea how these work with that - they're likely unnecessary and could otherwise cause problems.

If using ICOW in tandem with JK's College of Winterhold, use the patches in this linked patch collection instead of any of the patches on this page.

Included Patch Descriptions

Unofficial Immersive College of Winterhold Patch - While making this, I came across a few things which I felt I could clean up. USSEP is a master to ICOW and added some mage gloves since ICOW was made (I assume) and some of them were clipping into furniture. Any cases needed were moved. USSEP also adds some weapon rack stuff in the archmage's quarter which could be interacted with despite the display being disabled by ICOW, so I disable those too. A number of activators in the Hall of Countenance weren't aligned with their plaques which was kinda weird (I remembered this from playing it), so they're all shifted. The navmesh in the Arcaneum was a bit off, so I cleaned that up a smidge (all markers added by ICOW should be reachable now), at one point Update.esm updated one of the containers that ICOW touches so that change is forwarded, and finally there was some exterior navmesh where one cell looks like ICOW's changes got overwritten accidentally at some point (edges weren't aligning, etc), and I cleaned it up. If using this, make sure it loads right after ICOW (it should be treated as a direct update to it). None of these patches DIRECTLY conflict with its changes except for Royal Armory Tweaks, but best to be on the safe
