📋 About This Mod
Patch collection I made for my Skyrim mod list. Thought others might need it, too.
Included is a FOMOD installer which automatically detects most of your installed mods and selects the needed patches.
With the latest SkyTEST Lite update there is only a ESL version available. Therefore I decided to split the files into two seperate versions. There are two versions. Choose the right one depending on which SkyTest you have installed!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 288 endorsements and nearly 15k downloads
- Essential for modded setups to avoid conflicts
- Recently updated, so it's likely compatible with current mod versions
⚠️ Cons
- Only useful if you actually run SkyTEST and other mods that need patching
- No specific list of which mods are patched, so you might need to check the mod page
- Compatibility patches can become outdated if the base mods update frequently
For Skyrim modders who use SkyTEST and want to stack it with other mods without breaking animal behavior. If you're running a heavily modded game, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't use SkyTEST or play vanilla.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place these patches after SkyTEST and the mods they patch in your load order to ensure they override correctly.
- Use a mod manager like Mod Organizer 2 to easily see which patches you have and avoid overwriting files.
- Check the mod page for a list of supported mods, as the description here doesn't specify them.
