Original "Populated Skyrim" mod?

[Arkadaemus]

I rarely get around to checking updates for mods. Been running the same versions since my last batch of downloads earlier this year.

 

Last week I did an uninstall and fresh download of Skyrim and all mods I had been using, except for one: Populated Skyrim. It's a single .esp file, no .bsa, last modified in February 2016. Still have the shortcut in my favorites list, but the page no longer exists here. www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/73072/?

 

Haven't had any luck finding it with Google either. Everything points to a series of Populated mods, and each of those pages makes no reference to what I have. Was wondering if anyone knew what happened to the original; was it upgraded, merged, destroyed, overhauled?

 

The plugin still works, without any issues (afaik). Just wondering what happened. :huh:

I am not familiar with "Populated Skyrim", but i know of the "Populated Series", originally made by Erkeil. Erkeil has been banned from Nexus. AFAIK there are 2 overhauls of the original mod, which fix facegen data and also bring USLEEP compatibility.

And the reborn

The reborn also has a 50% less NPCs version (for less performance hit), but on few NPCs, the forehead appears reddish-pink.

 

Erkeil's original mod, is here:

Thanks for the info. I didn't think about it before hand, but just checked the file with TES5Edit and looked at the header:

 

Merged Plugin:

Populated Cities Towns Villages.esp

Populated Dungeons Caves Ruins.esp

Populated Forts Towers Places.esp

Populated Lands Roads Paths.esp

So I guess I can just get the "Hell" edition and have an updated version, with Prisons included. :cool: Still gonna keep the original backed up tho.
