📋 About This Mod
It's me again, working at resolving potential conflicts with Cities of the North - Winterhold. Each mod which has a patch is listed below, with specific details of all changes contained in spoilers, if necessary. All patches are ESP flagged as ESL, unless otherwise noted. I'm certainly more experienced than before, but I'm always learning, so if you run into trouble, please let me know and we'll see if we can work it out.
Please remember that patches sometimes involve Persistent references, so they will require a new save/playthrough. Before making a request for help, please double check that the problem exists on such a new save.

Enhanced Lights and FX - One patch for simplicity's sake this time. Patch attempts to replicate the intention behind ELFX to the new interiors, however, due to engine limitations a few compromises were made. I'm looking for feedback on this one, for any interested. No changes made to the newly-added cell. If using ELFX Fixes, load after ELFX Fixes. Last checked against version 3. 06.
