The patcher bug is still present, in which SkyProc can not correctly read the CELL group of "Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp", causing a "missing master" error on the first plugin to name "Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp" as a master. Comparing the Patchus Maximus debug log will show that "Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp" is not listed in the SkyProc load order, even when it is given in the Skyrim load order and present on the file system.



The previously identified fixes still work. From Reddit. From Penny Arcade.



A more manageable solution: https://i.imgur.com/Wp6jCtW.png



Create an overwriting mod, by making two copies of "Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp". In copy A, named "Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp", you delete the "CELL" group with TES5Edit. In copy B, named "Unofficial Skyrim Patch - CELL.esp", you provide only the CELL group and delete all other groups.



Patchus Maximus will now patch maximally, and you won't take a trip to Windows Explorer every time you maximally patch.



Patchus now sees both files in the load order: [17]                                  [Importer]  In mods: [18]                                  [Importer]     Skyrim.esm[19]                                  [Importer]     Update.esm[20]                                  [Importer]     Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp[21]                                  [Importer]     Unofficial Skyrim Patch - CELL.esp
