IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU ADD THESE PATCHES TO A NEW GAME. To quote robertgk2017 "Modding is illegal post character start." These patches might be fine but its still best practice.
You may be asking why this took so long for someone to patch. The simple answer is that it is an absolute nightmare to do because SO many mods alter the position of the Dawn's Venture and therefore need to be patched. If you're using the incorrect patch, you'll get a floating door in Dawnstar. This means it is imperative for you to download the right patch. I'm going to try and support as many as I can. I believe I have patched all of them at this point. In the event you use a mod that moves the ship that I do not yet support, ask nicely for it in the comments. I don't bite I promise.
All plugins are .ESL flagged .ESPs so they won't take up a place in your load order. The new plugins also require the underlying patch as a master. Make sure you load my patch after any other mods that change the position of the ship.
YOU ONLY NEED TO DOWNLOAD 1 PLUGIN OFF OF THIS PAGE. Theoretically, the FOMOD should spit out the only patch you need provided you have the correct underlying patch. If it doesn't please tell me. FOMODs are a fickle beast. All the old files are the individual plugins. Feel free to use one or the other but not both.
Currently Supported Patches:
Cities of the North - Dawnstar Patch Collection (Patches for this collection are required for both my COTN and my COTN + JK Skyrim patches. Only use one.)
The Great Cities - Unofficial Compatibility Patches
JK's Skyrim and Beyond Skyrim Wares of Tamriel Patch
Wares of Wyrmstooth - Wares of Tamriel Alternate Location
Wares of Haafingaar Expanded - Wares of Tamriel Alternate Location
FAQ
A:It should as far as I'm aware.
Q:Do these patches work with my game version?
A:I have not updated my Creation Kit yet so as far as I am aware these patches should work with all game versions.
Q:Wow these patches sure look complicated to do how did you make them?
A:Truthfully it's not that complicated. It took me like an hour to learn the CK and to be honest you should already know how to use SSEedit. Janquel's guide is an invaluable resource and without it I wouldn't have known where to even start. If I can do it you can too!
Q:Why are your screenshots so bad?
A:I literally haven't intentionally taken a screenshot in Skyrim in my over 1600 hours until the week before I uploaded this. I'll get better hopefully.
Q:FOMOD?
A:I actually did one for this!
Q:You haven't had any recent activity on Nexus and I need to get a hold of you, how can I do that?
A:@ChickenMike in either Ryn, or Janquel's discords and I should see it. I'm also in a bunch of other discords, but I check those two the most regularly.
