Description
I've always been a fan of ETaC even though I have helped Javier with JK's Skyrim for more than 4 years now. I like the approach Jenna takes to her towns and the mini quests and voiced NPCs that she includes. It would have been straightforward to patch the two mods but I didn't want to break the ambience and peaceful quality that her overhauls give to the villages. This mod is the alternative approach, removing the conflicting towns from JK's Skyrim to create space for the ETaC villages so the two mods can co-exist in harmony.
To support this mod I've created patches to work with this specific mod combination. These patches combine patched elements of both overhauls into a single unified patch. You only need one patch so remember to disable / remove any redundant patches that have been replaced.
