I'm still on my first install / playthrough of Oblivion. My Avatar is over a year old now, with something like 1k hours of play time. He's Champion of Cyrodiil, Divine Crusader, Madgod, head of the fighters and mages guilds (he won't join the other two), and holds many mod-added honorifics.

Other than a very few minor additions, I did not began using mods until after finishing KotN and SI, as well as the main vanilla questline.

It just recently dawned on me that, though I added the UnofficialOblivionPatch and keep up with its hotfixes, I never installed either the UnofficialShiveringIslesPatch or the UnofficialModsPatch (from which I'd need only KotN). At this late date, is it worth installing those two patches, considering KotN is finished and I've done every SI quests save one. Keep in mind that I have not yet converted over to BAIN (from OBMM), so that knowing which Unofficial files should and shouldn't overwrite other things (I've a decent number of mods installed now) might be tricky.

If I do still need 'em, are there hotfixes like with UOP, or are the old Nexus downloads the extent of it?

Thanks in advance!

They fix more than just quests. They fix meshes and other things too. You do not need any hotfixes. Just grab the latest versions.

I'm sure he meant hotfix as in the UOP Supplemental. This is what I get for calling it a hotfix at first

If you've managed to finish the game and SI without the USIP it probably doesn't matter. I don't think that was anywhere near as broken as the main game.

Judging by the amount of stuff fixed in the KOTN UOMP file, that one looks worth it.

And no, there is no supplemental for the USIP or the UOMP - but I will be putting an updated KOTN patch file on the supplemental page in a bit that fixes something an old compatibility hack broke.

I'll for sure add UOMP KotN once the update is available.

Thanks for the link Tomlong! I've been visiting your site lately, mostly for Wrye Bash / Bain info, and fine it most helpful.
