Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch List of Fixes
Last updated: 2007 - Dec. - 25
v1.2.0 Third Release. (2007 - Dec. - 25)
USIP Changes
- Fixed accidental USIP removal of the load door into Relan's house (Fellmoor)
- Fixed the fixed SE06ExRuinWalkWall01.NIF (Cylarne brazier structure) as I'd accidentally deleted a polygon which left a nice triangular hole in the left column base
NPC/Quest/Scripting Fixes
- Fixed Una Armina not paying a reward for the Ring of Disrobing in the Museum of Oddities quest as she does for all the others (set the reward to the halfway point between the lowest and highest that she pays for the other oddities)
- Improved the fix for Mirili Ulven killing the creatures brought to her rather than paralyzing them
- The paralyzed Elytra should no longer flail around when it's supposed to be paralyzed
- Fixed Mirili Ulven's front door being locked when the player is supposed to go in her house for the reward
- Fixed the holding pen gates (Taxonomy of Obsession quest) not being tied to Mirili Ulven's key, and she'll now close and lock them when the player brings her a creature
- Killing Atrabhi in The Great Divide quest should no longer result in the player getting a murder bounty if undetected
- Fixed the Replete Shambles having twenty times as much fatigue as normal, which probably doesn't cause any problems as undead don't suffer fatigue loss
Item Fixes
- Corrected the Tarnished Order Sword of the Knights of Order (the lowest-quality one) bypassing normal weapon resistance though the better ones (except for the best one) don't
NIF Mesh and Texture Fixes - Statics and Clutter (note: there should be no loss of visual quality for all mesh optimizations)
- Corrected oversights of the "Deformed Swamp Tentacle", "Hound's Tooth Key", "Sheogorath-Shaped Amber" and "Two-Headed Septim" items for the Museum of Oddities quest using the same meshes as the normal ones though by their names they should appear different; created new sufficiently deformed USIPSEDDeformedSwampTentacleIngred.nif, key-like USIPHoundsToothKey.nif, vaguely Sheogorath-shaped USIPSheogorathShapedAmberHunk.nif and two-headed USIPTwoHeadedSeptim.nif for them respectively; also changed the static museum meshes to match
- Fixed the texture apply mode for the normal Amber hunk ( AmberHunk01.NIF ) causing washing out of the colours on the specular highlighting and optimized the mesh from 17KB to 8KB (every face was double-sided though it is not hollow)
- Closed some small gaps between the walls and base of SE06ExWallTower.NIF that I'd missed originally; the flame could be seen through them if the player went around to the back of Cylarne
- Closed another seethrough gap in the roof of DementiaHouseLower02.NIF and two in the end of the stair dividers of DemStreet02.NIF that I'd missed originally
- Closed a large hole in the ceiling by the door, another caused by missing column pieces, and a couple of smaller gaps in Ma'zaddha's house upstairs (Crucible), fixed a flickery corner caused by overlapping faces and optimized the mesh ( DementiaHouseLower01InteriorTop.NIF ) from 248KB to 211KB
- Fixed about twenty gaps in the floor, walls and ceiling of Things Found in Crucible ( DementiaHouse03Interior.nif ), closed two open columns and raised a column that didn't reach the ceiling, and optimized the mesh from 620KB to 515KB
- Removed duplicated faces causing flickering on another step of Sheogorath's Palace exterior ( PalaceWallUStairs02.NIF; had already done the 01 mesh ) and optimized the mesh from 847KB to 580KB
- Fixed bad UV mapping on the corner of PalaceEWallCorner01.NIF and optimized the mesh from 1.22MB to 622KB (over seven thousand unwelded vertices)
- Closed some small gaps between the roof and walls on Sheogorath's palace entrance ( PalaceEntrance01.NIF ) and optimized the mesh from 1.19MB to 608KB (several thousand unwelded vertices again)
- Closed small seethrough seams in the roof supports of PalaceWallCorner01.NIF and PalaceWallCorner02.NIF and optimized the meshes from 1.13MB to 580KB and 1.15MB to 622KB respectively (as most palace exterior meshes have been optimized to about half their sizes you may notice shorter load times and/or better FPS in this area)
- Fixed UV mapping and missing end caps on several beams, aligned a tilted window beam, closed several small holes in the roof and walls and moved a couple of walls clipping through other walls and beams in the interior of Nanette Don's house (Passwall) used in five other places in the Isles ( HouseDementia02Interior.NIF ) and optimized the mesh from 1.10MB to 658KB
- Removed duplicated faces causing flickering on the steps of Brithaur's house ( DementiaHouseLower03Interior.NIF ) closed numerous gaps in columns and walls and optimized the mesh from 379KB to 317KB
- Fixed bad UV mapping and closed several gaps in the ceiling of Earil's Mysteries ( DementiaHouse06Interior.NIF ) and optimized the mesh from 275KB to 223KB
- Fixed bad UV mapping on a step end and two beams, a corner of wall with texture missing, several seethrough holes in the walls for the Museum of Oddities ( DementiaHouse07Interior.NIF ) and optimized the mesh from 990KB to 687KB
- Fixed warped wainscotting texturing, two pieces of bad UV mapping in the beams, a flickery patch in the baseboard near the steps caused by overlapping faces and closed several holes in the walls and beams including missing polygons in Caldana Monirus' house upstairs (Crucible) and optimized the mesh ( DementiaHouse02InteriorTop.NIF ) from 764KB to 528KB
- Fixed several bad UV mappings on the exterior of Earil's Mysteries (Crucible) and optimized the mesh ( DementiaHouse06.NIF ) from 679KB to 511KB
- Fixed bad UV mapping on the base of SETable01.NIF (circular) and optimized the mesh from 355KB to 207KB
- Fixed a really bad polygon of UV mapping on SETable02.NIF (rectangular) and SETable03.NIF (square) and optimized the meshes from 254KB to 166KB and 126KB to 96KB respectively
- Fixed a similar bad polygon of UV mapping on SEDisplayPedastal01.NIF {sic} and optimized the mesh from 45KB to 31KB
- Removed overlapping faces causing flickering on the interior of the glass table-top display cases ( SEDisplayPedastal01GlassDome.NIF ) {sic} and optimized the mesh from 82KB to 57KB
- Fixed bad UV mapping on the legs of both types of beds found in the Isles ( SEBed01.NIF & SEBed02.NIF ), closed a seethrough hole between the headboard and pillows, fixed the blankets clipping through the back of the (solid stone) legs and optimized the meshes from 220KB to 133KB
- Fixed similar bad UV mappings on the loveseat ( SELoveseat01.NIF ) and optimized the mesh from 179KB to 126KB

Placement and Layout
- Fixed another small gap in the Crucible town walls
- Moved a rock at the back of Sickly Bernice's (Crucible) to hide a one-sided polygon and flickery intersection protruding through the steps
- Aligned three slightly misaligned exterior house doors in Crucible, Hale and Deepwallow (will only take effect if these locations have not been visited already)
- Closed a seethrough gap under a doorframe in Xiditte, Catacombs
- Fixed a flickery intersection between two rubble piles in Knotbone Ruins
- Moved a crate in Caldana Monirus house (Crucible) clipping into the baseboard
- Moved a tapestry in Cutter's Weapons upstairs clipping into the wall
- Moved a tree in (-10,6) clipping into a giant root and covered a sharp land texture in (-4,1) missed in the audit
Audio Fixes
- Added "excessive ambient fix" enable parents to the Aichan Prison, Blackroot Lair and Fain as they had an excess of ambient sound objects
Text Fixes
- Changed the name of the harvestable flora that produces the Blind Watcher's Eye ingredient: "Watcher's Eye" » "Blind Watcher's Eye" so it can be identified (as is already the case with the Mute Screaming Maw)
- Changed the name of the Two-Headed Septim: "Coin" » "Septim" (which matches the static one)
- Fixed typo in Grommok's Journal (SE03GrommoksJournal) "3E341" » "3E431" (two instances)
v1.1.0 Second Release. (2007 - Dec. - 19)
USIP Changes
- Updated the USIP installer to Inno Setup v5.2.2
-
- The USIP now has a menu. To access it, open the console with ` or ~ or whatever key is used in your locale, type startquest usip (not case sensitive) and press Enter, then close the console (may take five seconds to appear the first time, but instantaneous after this.) It will allow you to see that the USIP is active and the version number and toggle two of the fixes below on or off
- Corrected v1.0 fix for the Howling Halls Apostles' "no greeting" bug as it was preventing them from being looted for the quest's optional path's Apostle Dagger items
- Corrected v1.0 fix for Mirili Ulven's Taxonomy of Obsession quest dialog as it was causing the Mirili's Bestiary topic to never appear if the player gave her all of the items on her list at once, which broke the quest
NPC/Quest/Scripting Fixes
- Fixed the script check for the Vitharn's Mausoleum brazier in the Ghosts of Vitharn quest which was allowing the player to burn Desideratus' doll without having it or even knowing what it was, which caused the final Fanatic to never appear at quest end and thus broke the quest
- Ahjazda should no longer fall off the walkway to Things Found (Crucible) and die, breaking The Coming Storm quest
- Fixed the Through the Fringe of Madness quest stalling with the Gatekeeper and adventurers standing around doing nothing if the player left the Isles before this stage and leveled up
- In the Coming Storm quest, fixed the confusing torches around the Diligence Crux urn holding the Amulet of Disintegration; they were missing their enable parents so were always lit which made it appear that something was wrong or confused the player about lighting the braziers
- Fixed all Grummites with bows carrying iron bows instead of their own Grummite bows (which were completely unused)
- The player will no longer receive an assault bounty for fighting Syl in the Roots of Madness quest, nor an assault bounty and/or murder stat. increase in the Ritual of Dementia quest
- Having a bounty and talking to any guards during The End of Order quest will no longer get the player ejected from the Palace and unable to get back in to finish the battle or force them to fight their allies; cleared any bounty at quest beginning as it is already being cleared at the end anyway
- Fixed the Dark Seducer Escort reward from the main quest missing the dismiss option in her dialog as the Golden Saint has
- Fixed dialog bug where dismissing one of the two Escorts, or even just talking to an idle one and declining an escort, would dismiss both of them
- Fixed both Escorts not fast-traveling to follow the player; it appears that all companion fast-travel was disabled in the Shivering Isles as normal companions will not fast-travel if PlayerInSEWorld is set to 1. As this fix uses game-mode scripting to keep the Escorts close to the player (thus they may pop into view in third-person mode if they get too far behind) it is off by default and can be toggled on or off with the menu (see above)
- Corrected oversight of areas of the Palace being trespass zones after completion of the Main Quest; fixed NPC behavior and cell/item ownership so that the player will not get attacked or arrested anywhere in the Palace (note that owned beds will remain so, also did not open the Greenmote Silo if the player replaced Syl nor the Xirethard entrance if the player replaced Thadon as these are secret areas which the player would not know existed without having done the quests)
- Fixed Jyggalag's sword not appearing on its pedestal behind Sheogorath's Throne after The End of Order quest unless the player left and re-entered the cell, or at all for some players; replaced with an activator and static mesh USIPSE13JyggalagClaymoreStatic.nif which will give the player the correctly leveled sword when activated
- Pinnacle Rock (if the player replaced Thadon) and Brellach (if the player replaced Syl) will no longer respawn Knights and Priests of Order and be strewn with dead Seducer or Saint bodies after the main quest is completed
- Corrected oversight of conflict between the Prince of Madness (post-Main Quest) and Great Divide quests where if any resident of Split died in random attacks the player would get a quest advancement that they did it and could not finish the quest; Split will no longer come up as a random attack area if the Great Divide quest is not completed
- Fixed being able to choose the "Defend the Realm" topic right away after being told by Haskill all was peaceful and find there was an attack; will now take thirty seconds (real time) for another 50% chance of a random attack to appear after most recent selection of the topic
- Corrected oversight at the start of the Symbols of Office quest of the player being able to talk to Sheogorath during his transformation, including after his disappearance (he would repeat his previous monologue)
- Fixed the player not obtaining Shadowrend from their clone in the Symbols of Office quest if the player had bound weapon spells; they were not being removed from the clone so it could cast them and thus unequip Shadowrend into its inaccessible inventory
- Also fixed the clone not having enough torches removed from its inventory so it would sometimes equip a torch while fighting the player
- In The Lady of Paranoia quest, fixed Ma'zaddha's evidence cupboard being already unlocked even though Ma'zaddha carries a quest-required key for it, and added a note to the journal that this cupboard is safe storage, as there is no documented safe storage container in the Shivering Isles (ie no buyable or awarded homes) until several stages later in the main quest
- In the Taxonomy of Obsession quest, Mirili Ulven should no longer kill the creatures that the player brings for her instead of paralyzing them and rewarding the player
- Other Highcross residents (Bruscus Dannus and Runs-in-Circles) should no longer attack commanded Scalons that the player is bringing for Mirili Ulven
- The player will no longer get a quest termination update from the Taxonomy of Obsession quest if Mirili Ulven dies after the quest is completed
- Ma'zaddha's corpse will no longer persist indefinitely in his house after the Lady of Paranoia quest is complete
- Corrected Anya Herrick's response to the Conspiracy topic of the Lady of Paranoia quest reverting to knowing nothing about a conspiracy after she has already admitted to it
- The Final Resting quest will no longer permanently stall if Hirrus Clutumnus' request is initially refused
- Fixed Hirrus Clutumnus' terrified cowering starting immediately after the player agrees to help him
- Added a safe storage note to the Final Resting journal entry on quest completion (see above) as both containers in Hirrus' house are safe
- Hirrus Clutumnus' corpse will no longer persist indefinitely
- Corrected oversight of the Ghosts of Suicide Hill dying if pushed off of the cliff by the player (was clearly erroneous as if activated when dead the message that they could not be talked to still appeared)
- The corpse of the fake Syl will no longer persist in the Duchess' Quarters after the Ritual of Dementia quest (it would disappear normally on cell reset, but this was unlikely to occur if the player was using the cell as a home)
- Kithlan and Anya Herrick should no longer be attacked by Dark Seducer Royal Guards after the Ritual of Dementia quest due to helping the player fight them when they were hostile
- In the Ritual of Dementia quest, corrected Arctus' (priest of Dementia) responding hostilely to being asked about Kithlan and Anya Herrick as if the player is an "agent of Dementia" when he is fully aware of what's happening
- Thadon's meal and wine will no longer give a message that the player has no Greenmote if they are found before the quest has even started, and corrected the message for Thadon's wine already being drugged saying "food" instead of "wine"
- Gundlar will no longer continue to deliver Thadon's food and wine (with functioning quest activators) after Thadon has defected in the Ritual of Dementia quest
- Corrected oversights of the cell names "Duke's Quarters" remaining unchanged after the Ritual of Mania quest for a female player, and "Duchess' Quarters" after the Ritual of Dementia quest for a male player
- Fixed the ownership of both Syl's and Thadon's thrones so that Syl's can't be sat on by the player before the Ritual of Dementia quest is completed, and Thadon's can be after the Ritual of Mania
- Fixed the ownership of the Greenmote Silo so that the player is no longer trespassing in it once they have completed the Ritual of Mania quest and become the Duke/Duchess of Mania
- The male Golden Saint and Dark Seducer reinforcements in the Helpless Army quest (only appear if the females die) should no longer follow the player after the quest is completed, even into Cyrodiil
- After the Helpless Army quest, Dylora will no longer immediately leave the Wellspring area and wander back to her prison chamber for no apparent reason
- Staada (Helpless Army quest Golden Saint commander) will no longer tell the player to inform Sheogorath of victory if spoken to after the main quest is completed
- Changed the trophy chime activator in Sheogorath's Palace for the Helpless Army quest so that it rings like the chimes in Brellach and Pinnacle Rock
- Fixed Sheogorath missing his cane, but still using the unique animations as if he had it, occasionally in the Sacellum and always at the start of the Symbols of Office quest
- Corrected four NPC's (Dulphumph gro-Urgash, Dumag gro-Bonk, Erver Devani and Una Armina) using the wrong skeleton mesh (SkeletonBeast.NIF instead of Skeleton.NIF); did not cause any known problems but may as well fix it so that future clothing/armor replacer mods don't cause them to grow a tail
- Changed Fimmion to have no Rumors topic as it was in the default elven voice which is quite different from his
- Golden Saints will no longer call other Golden Saints or Dark Seducers "mortals" when dismissing their conversation
- Dead Vitharn Ghost Fanatics will no longer give a message that they do not respond if the player tries to loot them (they disappear in less than a second anyways)
- Fixed the secret walls in Ebrocca, Sepechra failing to open if the player revisited the cell after it reset
- Ebrocca, Masse will no longer autosave every time the player passes through it if they've gone through two other cells in the interim, unless it has respawned and thus there is a reason for it
Item Fixes
- The player will now receive the correctly leveled version of the Talisman of Abetment at the conclusion of the Baiting the Mousetrap quest, and the correctly leveled version of the Ring of Happiness at the conclusion of the Final Resting quest
- The Keys to Dementia & Mania and Relmyna's Tears will no longer remain quest items stuck in the player's inventory when the Through the Fringe of Madness quest is completed

NIF Mesh and Texture Fixes - Statics and Clutter (note: there should be no loss of visual quality for all mesh optimizations)
- Corrected the cathedral lamps in the Sacellum Arden-Sul (New Sheoth) chains sticking through the stonework they are hung from up to the ceiling; replaced with new mesh USIPCathedralLight01.nif properly Havoked with fewer links, attached a script to prevent Z-grabbing bounty (as was done in the UOP) and also added a mounting bracket
- Corrected oversight of the "Deformed Swamp Tentacle" harvestable flora for the Museum of Oddities quest using the same mesh as the normal Swamp Tentacle; added new sufficiently deformed mesh USIPSEDDeformedSwampTentacle.NIF
