Compatibility
===============================
[]Incompatible with BCOM, because RandomPal included an older version of this mod (and then edited it substantially)
[]They are compatible if you delete the cells "Balmora, Guild of Fighters" and "Balmora, Guild of Mages" from Beautiful Cities of Morrowind.esp using a tool like Enchanted Editor or tes3cmd.
[]I've included a .bat script that will automate this process, please see the included readme for details
[]If you use MO2:
[]I use BCOM myself and recommend using them together, as long as you do the above step ^
[*]Other mods that overhaul the guilds in Balmora are likely to be incompatible.
