SFCP or USFP?

[DRAUG]

Can't choose.

SFCP, let Arthmoor rot

What did Arthmoor do?

[wyodinosaur]

Arthmoor used to be an excellent modder back in the day. However, he pulled a couple of stunts aimed at mods he wasn't fond of and tarnished his reputation. He also is a bit arrogant.

I would opt for VFSECP, of which I also don't know what it means.

If you want to use any Darkstar mods then must use SFCP

If you want quality and reliability, go with USFP.

I am using USFP.

There are plenty of quality modders working on SFCP, but it does not appear, to me, to be as well managed. The number of reversions alone has me scratching my head. Also, I've heard from others that they've had issues, especially with quests breaking that I've completed multiple times fine, while using SFCP.

I went with USFP because of the team's history of providing quality patches.

Anything you read bashing the Unofficial Patch team or its members probably has its originations on reddit. There are a handful of people who disagree with decisions made in some patches and are very vocal about it. Though, I suspect it has more to do with Arthmoor pulling some mods from Nexus when Nexus stripped modders of their copyrights by making non-deletion of mods a requirement the modder must agree to in order to upload their mods.

I've contemplated a test profile using SFCP because Improved Follower Behavior behaves poorly without it. I do not know why the IFB modder (who was the same modder to provide the fix for SFCP) did not also include a patch or IFB version that doesn't require SFCP, but there you go. They did say they might provide a distance choice via FOMOD in the future, but it's not a sure thing.

Hope that helps you make a decision OP.

Thanks everyone.

USFP has a long history of successfully providing patches for BGS games and the system in place to continue doing so. Use it on your modded game, use it on your unmodded game, it's the one mod you want above all others.
