📋 About This Mod
IMMERSIVE PATROLS - PLUGIN REPLACER
THIS MOD IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED.
Please use Immersive Patrols (Lite version) with Immersive Patrols (No Merchants version). This will remove all warzones and merchants but improve the core features of the original mod.
PREFACE
This is a plugin replacer for Immersive Patrols. Here is what I changed:
1.) I have cleaned out all the merchant caravans added by this mod because I personally consider them a bit of a feature creep. So now with this plugin you will only have military patrols added to your game and nothing else.
2.) In addition to that I also removed a Leveled List edit made by Immersive Patrols where it adds crossbows to Dawnguard soldiers. Now I'm all for giving them crossbows but not through this mod.
3.) There is an optional version that removes the warzones (multiple locations with fights between over a dozen of Stormcloaks and Imperials). Apparently they may cause CTDs and they are also a problem balancing-wise early on as they supply the player with hundreds of steel arrows.
Yes, Scrabbulor granted me permission to release a plugin replacer. Thanks!
REQUIREMENTS
Immersive Patrols by Scrabbulor
INSTRUCTIONS
Download and install Immersive Patrols with your favorite mod manager.
Then download and install my replacer plugin and make sure it overwrites the original one.
FAKREELA FACEGEN FIX
With this plugin replacer you will no longer need the Immersive Patrols Fakreela Face Fix since Fakreela will no longer appear in Skyrim.
ESL FLAG
I cannot flag the plugin as ESL because I would have to renumber its formIDs. That in turn would break all facegen and I would have to rename/regenerate it which would replace the entire original mod.
COMPATIBILITY
- Load Immersive Patrols above Cutting Room Floor (optional CRF Patch available in the Files section).
- Load Immersive Patrols above any lighting overhauls.
- Load Immersive Patrols above Realistic Water Two.
CHANGELOG
Please check the Logs tab.
FUTURE PLANS
- Variant that includes the merchants but with better nordic names and without the Protected flag so that they can be killed.
- Variant without the battlefields that supply the player with hundreds of arrows and apparently may cause CTDs. done

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved (616 endorsements) and a solid download count (29k+)
- Does exactly what it says: kills the caravans without touching the patrols
- Simple drop-in replacer—no extra patches or fiddly load order gymnastics
⚠️ Cons
- Only works if you have Immersive Patrols installed—it's a replacer, not standalone
- Last updated in 2019, so it might not play nice with newer versions of Immersive Patrols or the game
- Niche appeal: if you actually like the caravans, this mod is useless to you
For Skyrim players who enjoy Immersive Patrols but find the merchant caravans annoying or immersion-breaking. If you're a completionist who wants every patrol type, skip this—it's purely a removal tool.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Immersive Patrols installed first, then overwrite its plugin with this one.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid accidental file conflicts.
- Check your load order—this replacer should load after the original Immersive Patrols plugin.
