📋 About This Mod
Translation
There is a Hungarian translation of Recorder that includes this bugfix patch. It's not included in the Translation section above because it's an all-in-one file. It can also be found in the Translation section for the main Recorder mod.
Description
This is a bugfix patch for Recorder - Standalone Fully Voiced Follower by potasticpanda. The intention of this patch is only to fix bugs in the mod, not to add new content. Anything that seems like new content is most likely something that was already there but wasn't previously working. I've tried to make as few "creative" decisions as possible, except to fix problems that are already baked into a save (e.g. added a dialogue option to get a book that fell through the ground and can't be reached).
VERSION WARNING
This is meant for fixing Version 3. 0 only! There is no telling what will happen if you try it with an older or a newer version.
How to Install
Just install these files over top of the existing Recorder files. The original Recorder mod must be installed first. The patch should not overwrite any files except for Recorder files. It will install a new plugin called Recorder Follower Patch.esp. Recorder Follower Base.esp must still be enabled.
For Classic Skyrim, you can use either the Loose Files version or the BSA version. You don't have to extract or repack anything.
If you're using Mod Organizer, then make sure that the patch is BELOW the original Recorder mod in the left pane. You could also simply merge this mod into the main mod (in MO), but I don't recommend that.
For load order (Plugins tab in MO or NMM), make sure that Recorder Follower Patch.esp is somewhere BELOW Recorder Follower Base.esp (i.e. Patch should be loaded after Base). Also, any Recorder compatibility patch must be BELOW Recorder Follower Patch.esp.
SPOILER WARNING
The patch notes below may contain some spoilers.
Major Fixes
I've added a few dialogue options to fix bugs that may have happened in your save, but no longer happen if you start a new game (since they've been fixed by this patch). Not everyone wants to start a new game or reset Recorder. I recycled some of Recorder's lines to use as replies, so that they are "immersive".
BUG #1: In the Tracking the Lost Files quest, sometimes files may be trapped under something so you can't click on it. This always happens with Open Cities Skyrim (OCS) or JK's Skyrim installed (if you didn't have the compatibility patch install

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved fix (5,119 endorsements) — clearly a must-have for Recorder users
- Huge download count (348,247) shows it's widely used and tested
- Lightweight patch that doesn't overhaul the mod, just fixes what's broken
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018 — may not address issues introduced by newer Skyrim SE updates

For Skyrim Special Edition players who use the Recorder follower mod and have encountered bugs. If you're already running Recorder, this patch is a no-brainer. Skip if you don't use Recorder or if you're on the original Skyrim (this is for SSE only).
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install the original Recorder mod first, then overwrite with this patch — load order matters, so place the patch after the main mod.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to avoid file conflicts and make uninstalling easier.
- If you're using other Recorder patches or overhauls, check for compatibility — this patch may conflict with other modifications to the same files.
