SSE Would checking if a condition has been met in a vanilla quest cause conflicts?

[Niborino9409]

I want to have my custom housecarl follower be enabled like Lydia but without editing the quest itself for compatibility reasons. Would it cause conflicts with other mods if I

for example check if Queststage X of MQ104 has been completed through my MQ104ActorEnableQuest?

There's no reason you'd create a conflict since you're not editing a vanilla record. You're essentially asking the engine for status of something. You could look at that as being passive in this instance.

Okay, awesome. Thank you :D

There are mods like Skyrim Unbound which technically complete MQ104, but with only a specific subset of stages done. If you are not careful, your mod could be not working as intended when combined with such a mod in one play through. What's worse, this won't raise a red flag in a tool that detects conflicts - but from the players point of view, that pair of mods will be incompatible.

I've foolproofed my mod from that by dropping the appear with Lydia part completely. :)
