Perkus Maximus - Unofficial patch and patch central

Please if you have any patches you'd like to share with others contact me! I would like to host them here.

This is NOT a place to request additions!!! This is for fixes and functionality improvements!

Welcome to the Unofficial patch central for Perkus Maximus

Due to a couple of fixes having to modify the main .esp this is a direct overwrite\replacement esp fix of the Perkus Maximus SSE plugin!

Update instructions:

• []Install the files from this page over the files from the original mod.

  []Choose yes to overwrite all if asked.

  []Load up your saved game after installing these files and then perform a cell reset.

  A cell reset is mandatory when using this: <---- Not when starting a new game!

  Using the command console (Tap the tilde "~" key in game)

  Enter commands for the reset:

  • []setgs iHoursToRespawnCell 1

    []setgs iHoursToRespawnCellCleared 1

    Then wait in game for a minute or two:

    Then re-apply the vanilla settings:

    • []setgs iHoursToRespawnCell 240

    • setgs iHoursToRespawnCellCleared 720

      First version should fix the 'vast' majority of problems...

      📊 Pros & Cons

      ✅ Pros

      • Community-trusted with 235 endorsements and over 8.5k downloads.
      • Directly addresses known bugs like empty enchantments and NPC issues.
      • Offers ESL conversion to save plugin slots, a nice bonus for load order management.

      ⚠️ Cons

      • Requires a cell reset via console commands, which is a hassle and easy to mess up.
      • Last updated in 2019, so it may not be compatible with newer mods or game updates.
      • Since it overwrites the main Perkus Maximus ESP, it could conflict with other patches or mods that modify the same files.

      🎯 Is This For You?
      For Skyrim Special Edition players who run Perkus Maximus and want bug fixes without waiting for an official update. If you're starting a new game, the ESL versions are great; if you're upgrading an existing save, you'll need the ESP versions and a cell reset. Skip if you don't use Perkus Maximus or prefer a more modern overhaul.

      💡 Beginner Tips

      • If you're upgrading an existing save, use the ESP versions from the optional files, not the ESL ones, until you start a new game.
      • Perform the cell reset exactly as described: set the respawn times, wait in-game for a minute or two, then revert them. Skipping this can cause issues.
      • Make sure to overwrite the original Perkus Maximus files when installing, and load your save after to trigger the changes.
