Mistveil Keep Land Tear (with OCS installed)

[DoctorSauce84]

Mistveil Keep is essentially floating a few feet off the ground, and I have absolutely no idea what's causing it. I was sure to download any OCS patches for other mods, so I'm not totally sure what could be causing the problem.

Strange issue indeed. Looking at the pictures, I don't think the keep really is in the wrong place. The first picture with the stairs shows this pretty well: IMHO, the stairs (and the keep in general) are where they should be. But there are these invisible wall or rather floor parts next to the stairs... These give the impression of a "floating" castle.

 

In short: Your problem isn't a "misplaced" castle, but invisible parts of it. Invisible anything in Skyrim often means missing meshes. I think that's the case here, too. You're missing meshes for parts of the floor. Another possible cause for your issue might be a mod, that (probably accidentally) removed these parts.

 

Unfortunately I can't offer precise guidance regarding possible "culprits", because I don't know a lot of the mods you're using. In general, I'd look for mods changing meshes of architecture. Uninstall / reinstall them and see, if this fixes the problem. SMIM is one such mod - but from my experience it has next to zero bugs, so I don't think it's really the culprit. But you have other mods changing architecture and cities. Start with them. Maybe also check if one of your texture replacers also adds new meshes (unlikely, but possible).

Yeah, I figured it out. My Smashed Patch was acting up, so I switched to a combo of Merged and Bashed Patches. Thanks for your input, though.
