📋 About This Mod

What this mod does:

It's a patch to make "JK's Skyrim", "The Great Cities", "The Great City of Winterhold v4" and the "Cities of the North" series work well with each other, removing clipping objects, moving stuff and correcting navmeshes. This is just a colection of patches, all credits go to the original creators.

I'd like to thank Czasior, Janquel and Jelidity for their TGCW Patch collection and permission to merge their patches for JK's Skyrim, TGC and CotN Winterhold with mine. Without it I problably wouldn't update the mod :D

Note: This patch requires a new game!
