📋 About This Mod
What I did:
- Made the mountain added by Ryn's mod smaller and adjusted related collision markers and planes.
- Disabled a couple of threes (Note: they are not deleted, just initially disabled so they don't show).
- Also disabled a pillar from Ryn's mod clipping into a building.
- Slightly moved two fences from Windstad Mine mod.
- I did not have to change any navmesh, just make sure of your load order.
For installation make sure you have the following load order of mods:
Ryn's Ustengrav.esp
WindstadMine.esp
Windstad Mine and Ustengrav Patch.esp
This is a compatibility patch that makes Ryn's Ustengrav and Windstad Mine work together without conflicts. It's flagged as ESL, so it won't count toward your mod limit. For players using both mods, this patch is essential to avoid overlapping objects or broken areas.
