The mod comes with 3 patches, do I need them all or does the most recent patch contain everything the previous ones do?

Does the mod work with the latest TR release?

If I eat outside of the required eating times, do I still need to eat at those specified times?

Can I drag and drop food onto my character in the invent screen to eat?

Does the water level fix in MCP also need to be loaded after NoM? And also how do I change load order?

Are the compatibility patches required?

Thanks.
