How do you find patches?

[SleepyBear64]

Hey all,

 

I am trying to locate patches for some mods, but cannot seem to find any of them. Yes, I have searched and looked at the relevant mod pages, and as many of the patch hubs that I could find, so I am asking if anyone knows where to find them.

 

Excepts from LOOT follows (not many).

 

Lanterns Of Skyrim II.esm

You seem to be using Static Mesh Improvement Mod, but you have not enabled a compatibility patch for this mod. A compatibility patch is included with this plugin's installer.

You seem to be using Soljund's Sinkhole, but you have not enabled a compatibility patch for this mod. A compatibility patch is included with this plugin's installer. (yes, I know this is from AFK mods, but there are no patches there)

Landscape Fixes For Grass Mods.esp

You seem to be using The Great Village of Mixwater Mill, but you have not enabled a compatibility patch for this mod. A compatibility patch is provided on this plugin's mod page.

fortdawnguardimmersive.esp

You seem to be using Palaces & Castles Enhanced, but you have not enabled a compatibility patch for this mod. A compatibility patch is included with this plugin's installer.

You seem to be using Snazzy Furniture and Clutter Overhaul, but you have not enabled a compatibility patch for this mod. A compatibility patch is included with this plugin's installer.

You seem to be using Weapons Armor Clothing & Clutter Fixes, but you have not enabled a compatibility patch for this mod. A compatibility patch is included with this plugin's installer.

 

Thanks In Advance.

Most of them say that the patch is included in the installer. You should simply have needed to choose that option (or it would be automatically chosen) when you installed the mod.

 

If you added mods that require patches later, you need to re-run the installer in order to get the patch (reinstall option in vortex, possibly uninstall and reinstall in MO2?)

 

The grass fixes one is in the optional files on the grass fixes mod page, as it says.

Thanks showler for your help. Much appreciated! :smile: :thumbsup:

 

I have redownloaded and reinstalled each of the mods. As you can see, two are fixed, but there were no options with any of the installers for the remaining mods.

 

Also, LOOT keeps telling me that the Soljund's Sinkhole patch isn't enabled, but it is! (Stoopid LOOT)

 

So if anyone knows where to find the patches I still need:

 

Lanterns of Skyrim II - SMIM

 

Immersive Fort Dawnguard - PCE

Immersive Fort DG - SFCO

Immersive Fort DG - WACCF

 

I would be very grateful.

I just downloaded this version and it had an option in the installer to patch SMIM.

An other way of finding patches that are not part of the main mod is, to check the main mod's requirements under "mods requiring this file". If you are lucky, the author of the patch has marked the main mod as requirement.

 

But in the case of Immersive Fort DG a short look at the mods contents with the file preview feature tells me that the 3 patches you mentioned are all included in the mod's FOMOD.

An additional way to find patches is to thoroughly read a mod's support threads. Sometimes, users (and as I recall, at least once the mod author) will add a user-created patch to their reply and it becomes invisible to anyone who doesn't actually read the comment sections. Not so often here on Nexus, but I've seen that happen many times at another popular site many Skyrim SE players use...
