Immersive Citizens Original Edition: Compatibility


Below are 3 sections. The first section lists all the plugins which are known to be incompatibles with Immersive Citizens while the second section lists all the plugins which are known to be compatibles. The third sections have been created to help you to anticipate future incompatibilities and to help you identify mods which are incompatibles, but are not listed as being such.

Incompatible plugins

Whatever your load order, the plugins listed here will partially or completely disrupt either all or some of my AIs (please read the FAQ for more details).
All these plugins have been checked and tested by myself and are displayed in alphabetical order. Note also that it's not possible to design functional compatibility patches with TESVedit for the plugins listed here (please read the FAQ for more details).

Compatible plugins

All the mods listed here are compatibles. I would like to remind you of 3 important things:

  • Some of the plugins listed here are not compatible between one another. You should not stack plugins which modify the layout of the same cities or villages or you might disrupt the navigation of NPCs and thus the AI used by NPCs.
  • The load order between the mods listed here and the main plugin (Immersive Citizens - AI Overhaul.esp) can be important. If it is important, it has been defined.
  • If a mod is listed here, it does not mean that it does not contains defects creating minor AI bugs (NPCs teleporting for example).

To help you to determine if a mod is incompatible, here are some tips for you:
- Any mods which remove or move or add chairs, beds, tables, walls inside the Inns won't be compatibles, even if the Inn is located in an area highlighted in grey. The mods altering only Old Hroldan Inn and Night Gate Inn are not concerned and therefore will be compatibles whatever the version of Immersive Citizens.
- Any mods which remove or move furnitures, chairs, beds, tables, walls, bridges, archery targets or houses in the areas highlighted in orange won't be compatibles.
- Any mods which adds only static objects or furnitures in the areas highlighted in orange may be incompatibles. It depends how the mod has been designed and where the static objects and furnitures have be placed.
- If by using TESVedit, you see that another plugin modifies the same navmeshes, it's very likely that this plugin is not fully compatible. For reminder, Immersive Citizens alters navigations meshes for 3 reasons:

  • To fix pathfinding issues.
  • To allow NPCs to navigate around the static objects and the furnitures added by Immersive Citizens. (exemple1 ; exemple2)
  • To give access to NPCs to new locations.

Note that the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch is fully compatible with Immersive Citizens. Indeed, all the navmeshes fixes done by the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch have been integrated in my plugin and have been improved, however, due to the way TESVedit shows the data stored in the navmesh entries, it's impossible to figure that by using TESVedit.
A few mods such as More Tavern Idles have implemented the modifications made by Immersive Citizens on navigation meshes and thus are compatibles if you load them after Immersive Citizens.
Concerning the mods altering Breezehome, Honeyside, Vlindrel, Hall Hjerim or Proudspire Manor, these mods usually alter navigation meshes used outside these houses for no legitimate reasons. These unnecessary modifications on navigation meshes have been created automatically by The Creation Kit (it's a bug). For now, these modifications are not recognised as ITM (More information about ITM here) by TESVedit while they should be recognised as such. Therefore, these mods are usually only compatibles if you allow Immersive Citizens to override the unnecessary modifications (if they are presents) done on vanilla navmeshes by these plugins. For your information, Immersive Citizens doesn't not alter the navmehes used inside Breezehome, Honeyside, Vlindrel, Hall Hjerim and Proudspire Manor.

Here are general load order rules:
  • The main plugin (Immersive Citizens - AI Overhaul.esp) should be positioned below any plugin which edits Breezehome, Honeyside, Vlindrel, Hall Hjerim or Proudspire Manor.
  • The compatibility patch for OCS (Immersive Citizens - OCS patch.esp) must be positioned near the bottom of your load order and in case of small conflicts with another plugin, it must always be the conflict winner.
  • If you want to try to use a mod which alters a few navmeshes also modified by Immersive Citizens, then the conflict winner should be the mod which alters the more the navmeshes modified by both mods.
