Edit on Feb 22nd, 2012: Thanks to official Update 7, this hotfix is obsolete. I'd strongly recommend NOT using this mod if you're running U7 or later: not only does it force you to reinstall any Neera-related mods, this will undo any official fixes to Neera's script (which handles quite a bit of her quest behavior).
----
I believe the bug that I created this mod to fix has already been brought to Overhaul's attention, but I ended up whipping up this mod for my own sake and thought I'd share.
The story behind this: While trying to create a banter for my original NPC mod that checks Neera's romance variables before firing, I had to dig through Neera's script to figure out why the banter wasn't firing properly. As it turns out, Neera's romance variable is set to 3 (completed all BGEE romance content) whether or not you can view her final romance conversation, which requires finishing her sidequest. Thing is, the sidequest only updates her romance conversation track if her romance isn't "complete" yet.
Thankfully, the problem trigger was in Neera's script and was easily modified to work properly with either a 2 or 3 in Neera's romance variable. Basically, it should run just normal if you finish Neera's sidequest quickly enough. If you don't, this mod will make her final romance talk trigger 24 hours after the sidequest is done, like the script seemed to be intended to do.
I've only done enough testing to know that this mod will make the romance conversation to trigger (note that you may still have to force-talk Neera to make it work). It could destroy something else somewhere. I doubt it, but if I misunderstood the trigger i modifed it might be able to fire romance talk 3 before 2. There are enough other triggers to prevent that, but I can't be sure. This is probably why any official fix is still being tested.
Note to other modders: This completely over-writes the NEERA.bcs to change the problem trigger. Any mods that change this script have to be re-installed after this mod to work.
Without further ado, the links:

Note: I'm not sure whether this belongs in the modding or bug thread, but since the bug itself has been reported and acknowledged, I decided to post this thread with other mods.
