Installation
============
Every Mod Manager for Oblivion should be able to handle this, manual install is of course possible too.
Incompatibilities
=================
Most likely everything that edits Fort Aurus (Interior and Exterior) and it's immediate landscape surroundings.
UL Silverfish River Valley (Information courtesy of/by mhahn123, who is also working on compatibility patches):
It is on the very far edge of UL Silverfish River Valley border cells. The land height is almost identical, so no rips at borders. But the UL
does overwrite land textures and pathing. No object placement issues.
