📋 About This Mod
The sudden, huge fps drops that come with Opulent Thieves Guild are now gone.
Without this patch, almost all interiors touched by OTG will be very laggy and extremely demanding for your system.
This effect is relatively independant from your specs. Even 2080ti users
experienced heavy fps drops. So this fix is absolutely needed!
The new models added by OTG are almost completely replaced with optimized meshes. In detail, the collusion boxes have been readjusted and reworked to ensure a smooth gameplay experience. That's necessary, because the collusion boxes from OTG are insanely detailed – you can compare it to using 16k textures for a small object.
Well, you definitely don't want collision meshes with a resolution of individual atoms.
But how many fps do you win?
- You'll gain up to 50 fps! Yes, the drops were insane. This allows you to play a stable 60 fps again.
Optional SMIM barrel replacer addon:
Now these barrels aren't filled with tomatoes, potatoes and cabbages
anymore, instead they share the beautiful & simple SMIM model.
The wood textures are of higher quality as well as the mesh. All in all you just win.
Installation and Load Order:
1. Original Mod is needed, feel free to give Sokkvabekk an endorsement if you like his awesome work!
2. Simply install this patch with your favorite mod manager and pick your options in the installer.
3. Sort your load order via LOOT.
4. You can find all sorts of patches for Opulent Thieves Guild here. An alternative ELFX patch is located there. But you still need this mod for the FPS fix.
Growl - Werebeasts of Skyrim potentiated these fps issues in combination with Opulent Thieves Guild, due to an activate perk.
--> Growl now received an update (v. 2. 1. 0+) fixing incompatabilities that occur when using Opulent Thieves Guild and Growl together!
The patches are compatible with everything.
The plugins are super lightweight and flagged as ESPFE. Enjoy!
SMIM and Noble Skyrim are strongly recommended.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved fix with 2,389 endorsements and over 308k downloads
- Directly addresses a common performance issue, making the Thieves Guild playable for low-end rigs
- Simple solution—just install over the original mod and enjoy smoother frames
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Opulent Thieves Guild to be installed first—this is a patch, not standalone
- Last updated in 2020, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or other mods
- Only fixes FPS issues; doesn't add new content or improve visuals beyond the original mod
For Skyrim players who love the visual overhaul of Opulent Thieves Guild but suffer from stuttering or low FPS in the Ragged Flagon. If you're on a mid-range PC and want to keep the fancy look without the performance hit, this is essential. Skip if you don't use Opulent Thieves Guild or if your rig handles the original mod fine.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install this after Opulent Thieves Guild and let it overwrite the original meshes—your mod manager will ask, so choose 'Yes to Mod'.
- Check your load order: this patch should load after the main mod to ensure the fixes apply.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, enable this mod and deploy—no extra configuration needed.
