Thanks for playing and hopefully enjoying my mod! ---------------------------- Compatibility ---------------------------- From 1. 0 RC2 and on this module is compatible with Awakenings. I\'ve heard no complaints on compatibility issues with other mods so far. I also use GDA id\'s pretty far from the core files but there\'s always a risk of some other mod using the same, time will tell. Known compatible mods:
