📋 About This Mod
Ever wanted to combine two of the most popular city overhauls - JK's Skyrim and Dawn of Skyrim - together with Open Cities? JPSteel2 has kindly provided a patch, but you will soon notice that this is incompatible with a lot of other mods that take place in the city worldspaces, even if using the appropriate Open Cities patch. But no more! Through tireless effort, I have created patches for the following popular mods, largely based off Teabag86's patches for the closed-space JK's Skyrim - Dawn of Skyrim patch:
-
[]AI Overhaul[/]
[]ALT - Markarth's Forge[/]
[]Bards College Rework[/]
[]Bards College Rework + Blowing in the Wind[/]
[]Bards College Rework + Sconces of Solitude[/]
[]Bards College Rework + Legacy of the Dragonborn + Skyrim Sewers[/]
[]Bells of Skyrim[/]
[]Beyond Skyrim - Bruma - Tamrielic Influence[/]
[]Blowing in the Wind[/]
[]Greater Markarth Expansion[/]
[]Greater Markarth Expansion + Blowing in the Wind[/]
[]Immersive College of Winterhold[/]
[]Immersive World Encounters[/]
[]JK's Bards College[/]
[]JK's Bee and Barb[/]
[]JK's Haelga's Bunkhouse[/]
[]Legacy of the Dragonborn. Current version is for LOTD v6. A version for LOTD v5 is provided in version 1. 8. 4 of the mod.[/]
[]Nature of the Wild Lands[/]
[]Realistic Boat Bobbing[/]
[]Riften Docks Overhaul (not needed if using any of the combined navmesh patches below)[/]
[]Sconces of Solitude[/]
[]Sepolcri[/]
[]Sepolcri + Nature of the Wild Lands[/]
[]Skyrim Sewers (not needed if you get all of my of my other city overhaul patches)[/]
[]Snazzy Proudspire Manor[/]
[]Snazzy Riften AIO (patches are provided for both the merged and standalone plugins)[/]
[]Snazzy Riften AIO + JK's Bee and Barb (patches are provided for both the AIO plugin and Snow-Shod Manor + Riftweald Manor)[/]
[]Snazzy Solitude AIO (patches are provided for both the merged and standalone plugins)[/]
[]Storefront[/]

[]JK's The Pawned Prawn + Riften Docks Overhaul + Ryn's Farms + Riften Extension Northshore (only get one of the combined navmesh patches)[/]
[]JK's The Pawned Prawn + Riften Docks Overhaul + Ryn's Farms + Riften Extension Northshore + GG's Thieves Guild Headquarters (only get one of the combined navmesh patches)[/]
In addition, I have included a plugin that forwards Teabag86's edits to the vendor item displays (that makes vendors remove their items at night) to the Open Cities version

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fills a real gap—Open Cities compatibility for JK's Skyrim + Dawn of Skyrim was a mess, and this fixes it
- Covers a ton of popular mods, so you don't have to hunt down separate patches
- Community-trusted with 93 endorsements and 9k downloads—clearly useful to others
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the base JK's Skyrim, Dawn of Skyrim, and Open Cities patches to work—setup is complex
- Version-specific patches (like LOTD v5 vs v6) mean you need to match your mod versions carefully
- Compatibility risk: patches may conflict with other mods not listed, especially if you use additional city overhauls
For Skyrim modders who want to run JK's Skyrim, Dawn of Skyrim, and Open Cities together without breaking other mods. If you're using any of the listed mods, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't use Open Cities or if you're fine with closed cities.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the base patch from JPSteel2 installed first—this mod builds on that.
- Use a mod manager like MO2 to keep track of all the patches and their load order; it'll save you headaches.
- If you're using Legacy of the Dragonborn, double-check which version you have (v5 or v6) and grab the matching patch.
