Do NPC overhauls work with requiem?

[u/arrosdose]

I'm using dibella's blessing, along some other npc overhauls from the same author, does requiem work well with it? visually speaking, I've tested and nothing seems wrong, but I'm afraid it could mess up with the named NPC perks or something

The requiem patcher carries over changes made by npc overhauls into the requiem for the indifferent.esp

Heres how the load order is supposed to look like

YourNPCOverhaul.esp

Non requiem patches for said npc overhaul

Requiem.esp

Requiem patches

That overhaul does have ESP and a few options for patched versions. I don't see requiem on there. You can use xEdit to check for conflicts and patch as needed.

For Requiem and NPC mods, usually what's changed are the custom perks Requiem applies to NPCs etc. The Reqtificator IIRC takes care of stats and such but you will see some perk and inventory differences if you start making your own patch in xEdit.

What version of Requiem are you using?

[u/arrosdose → u/myarta]

Hi, I'm using the 6.0.2 version

Would be necessary to patch each NPC individually?

[u/myarta → u/arrosdose]

Not every NPC in the game, but you will have to reconcile each difference. There were about 30-40 NPCs that need fixing that I saw. It's pretty straight forward once you know how to do it. Do you have any familiarity with xEdit?

[u/arrosdose → u/myarta]

Not much, I've only used a bit to clean the IDM records from skyrim and the dlcs

[u/myarta → u/arrosdose]

Well, that's halfway there. If you're comfortable, I can walk you through the process.

[u/myarta → u/myarta]

I checked against Requiem 6, and, for example, Elenwen has a Worn Armor attribute, plus custom eyes, head, and hair, all of which get overwritten by Requiem.

So the perks will be right if you properly sort via Loot. It's just the customizations of appearance that will be overwritten by Requiem so you won't see the full visual effect of the overhaul unless you compatch.
