As part of the ESL conversion process, there are 4 npc records whose facegen files would have to be renamed/relinked after compacting with SSEEdit so I haven't tried it. I did try to ESM'ify this to reduce the temporary reference count but the game CTD's about a minute after loading due to a Pathbuilding error. See ESMifyer Addon. Not sure why that's happening. I'm guessing there's something off with the navigation meshes.
I used the ESPFE Follower Cell Free xEdit script which handles compacting form IDs plus renaming facegen inside the ESP and renaming the NIF and DDS files, plus renaming/reordering sound files. You don't have to change extensions, just load the script in xEdit per the mod page. Note that since this mod DOES add new cells, there's a game bug that would cause a crash if another mod edits the same cell after compacting.
For example, Granite Hill (which I'm using) is not compatible with The Crossroads so you'd need to pick one or the other unless you want load Granite Hill first then The Crossroads and see if it's possible to move item locations for this mod.
I don't see how, not only does the village occupy the same spot as the Crossroads Inn, it affects every viable spot around the Crossroad. So no a patch basically means relocating and my Inn sits there for a reason. Lots of room on the Tundra for a village though....:)
The author of "Granite Hill" does have very good reasons to put his village there, too. Apparently, Granite Hill really exists in the lore and is mentioned in game. It was to be there when Beth abandonned the idea for some reason. In the CK, seems the cell is named "Granite Hill", too. Now, i didn't look in CK to verify all this, but i fail to see why the author would lie about this. Just information.
I don't know how I overlooked this mod until now, but that has now been corrected. The look of this place, the location, and that freaking hot tub are all great. And the NPCS look fantastic, too.
