This is the 2015 release. The mod has been overhauled in 2022.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2790121312

Immersive Patrols adds a reasonable amount of Stormcloak, Thalmor, Imperial and Dawnguard patrols to Skyrim and a few Skaal, Reaver and Riekling patrols to Solstheim. These patrols often cross paths with each other or the player creating new encounters or unexpected aid. It also includes small Civil War battles and some basic non-Khajiit Caravans who travel freely between the major cities (excluding Winterhold).

Dawnguard patrols within this mod will only exist after reconstruction of Fort Dawnguard has begun.

Completing the Civil War quest will disable all patrol and battle NPCs (including Thalmor) of the losing faction. Destroying the remaining enemy camps after the Civil War quest is completed will completely disable all Civil War NPCs, effectively ending the Civil War within this mod.

Nothing so far.

There were rumors that using OBIS and IP together would (eventually) cause a crimefaction to permanently attack you but after looking at both mods I can't see how that's possible.
