📋 About This Mod
Palaces and Castles Enhanced is a delightfully wonderful overhaul of the interiors of many unique places within Skyrim which - particularly for the scope - has surprisingly few major conflicts, thanks to the patches included with it. However, when going through my load order (which has a borderline absurd number of things which are added), I found a few places here or there which would have a book slightly floating or an NPC spawn point within a wall (which they'd pop out of after a few seconds). So I decided to run through and make any which I felt were needed, and am sharing any whose parent authors approve or are simply forwarding the changes in a combined manner. All patches are .esps flagged as ESL. A few of these have patches for LE, but these were made from scratch so the objects are likely in different locations - all placements involved in the mods below were personal choices on my part, but I tried to adhere to the original "theming" as much as possible. Many of these are not explicitly necessary and can be resolved via load order, but having the patch frees you up to have both mods in any order relative to one another, provided the patch is loaded last. Every patch forwards the image space changes from PCE. If you're using the ELFX patch from PCE, load that last.

Included Patch Descriptions
3DNPCs/Interesting NPCs - Two patches included - one is a replacer for the version included with the main mod that includes some additional needed fixes. Second is a small CR patch with the PCE patch for SFCO included here. Last checked against version 4. 4, technically, but 4. 5 should have no plugin changes.
Additional Hearthfire Dolls - Shifts placed dolls to match new interiors. Last checked against version 3
Aemer's Refuge - Conflict resolution on navmesh. Last checked against version 2. 83
AI Overhaul SSE - forwarded PCE changes to packages where conflicts (except keeping the AIO interrupt rules), shifted idle markers to match new interiors. Checked against version 1. 8. 1 I should note that AI Overhaul now has an official patch hub and seeing as this is the only one of the patches I've made for it that touches Packages, it's possible that they may make their own for this, in which case this patch will come down. Consider it an unofficial patch for now.
Alternate Start - Live Another Life - Forwards a few missed cell settings, Updates scenes to have PCE headtracking. Last checked against version 4. 1. 4
Amorous Adventures Plus - Shifts a certain NPC's spawn point into the Blue Palace Jarl's chamber cell, since the bedroom is there now. Last checked against version 1. 3.
Amulets of Skyrim - Moves some necklaces/rings which were floating to new locations/settled them to the new surfaces.
