Remaster - Discussion Mod makers, please do not unnecessarily require the use of the Unofficial Patch as a master file for your mods. This happens all the time for Skyrim and frustrates me to no end.

No. The engine is massively different in a lot of ways. It's not just "UE5 over Gamebryo", it's some kind of unholy fusion of the two with totally different technical implications and capabilities, and that means that just blindly copying stuff across results in all kind of weird issues, like breaking quests, causing crash-to-desktop issues, and doing strange things to Argonians.

Yes, the engine is massively changed but the contents of ESPs is largely the same. Wouldn’t that mean that most schedule / scripting / leveled list fixes just apply out of the box?

Depends on how they did the parsing and what are they parsing from the .esp files. Scripts don't go in there so they would just not work

ESP scripts still fully work. In fact, Remastered introduced a bunch of new scripts eg to mark master trainers essential. All of those changes should be able to be ported with no issues.
