📋 About This Mod
ATTENTION
This mod is abandoned. This was basically my practice for Coruscant. I will probably never update this mod again. It works completely fine but if you want an actual and proper New Atlantis overhaul/expansion, check out New Atlantis Awaits.
Installation Instructions (VERY IMPORTANT)
1. Place the plugin (ExpandedCities.esm) BELOW any full master/medium master mods touching cities. This includes Neon Vertigo
2. Make sure there are ZERO small master plugins that touch cities ABOVE ExpandedCities.esm or you WILL crash.
3. Don't be in Neon when installing this mod
For example, I will list my current load order for cities. Notice how I follow rules 1 and 2.
Neon Vertigo.esm (medium master)
StarWarsCityShips.esm (medium master)
ExpandedCities.esm (full master)
Croc's New Atlantis Lights Up Auto.esm (small mater)
