Not sure if every NPC goes indoors at night, but this is the closest you're going to get.

Not sure about a proper incompatibility. Using it will mean that quest NPCs are not where they usually are (and are directed to by other NPCs) and so you may need to go hunting for them.

Note: I've not used the mod.

I've never had any real incompatibilities with LCV. It took a lot of...fiddling around to get companion mods to play nicely though mind you. Its an issue but the mod comes with a way to make them compatible.

As Dragon mentioned it just makes NPCs not appear where they are supposed to be. So you'll have to search for them sometimes. It makes being a vampire very hard as well. xP Since most people are inside at night and so you can't do any quests and most shops are closed so you can't shop. Though if their disposition is high enough you can get them to talk with you.

And also some of LGNPC lines make sense for NPCs being where their vanilla places are, not where LCV appoints them. It's not a conflict per se, just an inconsistence. In other regards, LCV is as clean mod as possible.

I believe LCV works by having a separate entity move the NPCs about so that the NPCs themselves aren't actually altered.

Like it's said, the "conflict" with LGNPC is very minor. An NPC might say "My brother is right next to me" while he's standing alone in his room with nobody around.

You can somewhat shop at night. If you manage to find a merchant that goes to a tavern at night, you can sell stuff to him. However, he won't have his merchandise for sell nearby so you can't really buy anything.

Generally NPCs' schedules make sense. Most Dunmers go to the nearest Temple late afternoon, most people go to a tavern at night, factions members often hang out with their fellow faction comrades (ie in Balmora, there's a big Hlaalu dinner each night at Nerano Manor).

If you use a head replacer that gives unique heads to each NPCs, remember your questgivers' face!

The biggest draw backs is that sleeping illegally in someone's bed is much harder, sometimes you rent a room in an inn and there's some creepy NPC standing in your room all night, and doing the Morag Tong quests is much harder, because your target might be surrounded by people who will not stand back and mind their business, they'll jump in the fight to defend your target.
