📋 About This Mod
Pandorable's NPC overhauls are a staple in my load order, and I noticed that some of the AI Overhaul patches have not been updated for the newest version (1. 6. 7 as of writing).
Patches are available for: Pandorable's NPCs, Pandorable's NPCs - Dawnguard and Pandorable's NPCs - Dragonborn.
Requirements: You will of course need AI Overhaul SSE and the appropriate aforementioned Pandorable mod, depending on which patch file you choose to download.
To create the patches I simply went into xEdit and manually moved the overwritten records from AI Overhaul into this patch file. This way you'll keep Pandorable's visual changes while keeping AI Overhaul's enhanced behaviour for the NPCs.
Load Order: Since this is a patch for the two mods it should of course be loaded after (below) them in your plugin order. I don't use LOOT so I don't know if it will sort automatically, however it isn't hard to move it manually or create a load order rule for it in LOOT.
Disclaimer: This is my first time ever making a patch like this. While it is quite simple in theory and I doubt I have screwed anything up, please let me know if you notice a mistake or other issue and I will try, with my very limited experience, to correct it.
Credits: Pandorable and the AI Overhaul team (mnikjom, SpiderAkiraC) for their extraordinary mods.
A patch hub that merges AI Overhaul's behavior changes with Pandorable's visual NPC overhauls, letting players use both mods together. With 622 endorsements and 34,262 downloads, it's a well-received compatibility solution for Skyrim modders.
