June 11th, 2021 - About the frequently reported conflict with Verona House Bloodlines (VHB) by DTOM1962

According to my recent investigation, this is not a conflict, but a mere load order thing!

Both mods edit the path grid in Skingrad, and as long as my mod loads last, both mods should work fine.

Note that the recommeded version of VHB to use is not the original version, but the FIX version by Arthmoor: Verona House Bloodline SI Fixed.

As long as you are running with this version, Vortex should automatically sort it correctly. If not, simply flag my mod as later in Vortex, and you should be fine.

In parallel, I am trying to sort this out further. If you want to stay tuned, you may want to follow this post at VHB.

June 07th, 2021 - Yet another update! And yet another OPEN Better Cities compatibility warning

Seconds ago, I have provided a new patch version 1. 2. 2 of this mod. It increases the follow distance of your new animal companion a bit. It has always been way too close, probably leading many players (like myself) to be annoyed by the companion over time. The new version will make the wolf keep some distance, leaving you air to breath ;-)

Yes, I know - I've officially ended maintenance for this mod last year (see below). This is still true (theoretically). But there are exceptions to theory. And sometimes nostalgy just beats reason by a length. :-D

And here's the annual reminder for the OPEN Better Cities incompatibility:

Please be aware that this quest is NOT compatible with OPEN Better Cities Skingrad!

With "Open" I mean exactly that - the OPEN option of BETTER Cities causes issues, and only for SKINGRAD.

In other words:

• []Better Cities per se (in "Closed" mode) ist absolutely safe!

  []OPEN Better Cities for any other city than Skingrad is absolutely safe.

  If you still want to play with OPEN BC Skingrad, bear in mind the following:

  • []

    []You need to switch Skingrad to "Closed" before starting the quest, otherwise you will get stuck.

    []If you switch back to "Open" AFTER finishing the quest, this will make your new player home disappear!

    []So if you WANT to use the player home, do NOT switch back to "Open" mode. If you don't care about the home, switching back is safe!

    Feb 12th, 2020 - End of support for this mod :'(
