Name: Cardac Patches
Version: 1.1

Description
===========

Cardac adds a castle and small village, made with Mr Siikas Highrock Resources, 
due south of Mackamentain. Unfortunately the location creates mod conflicts if
Cardac is used alongside Shezries Towns, Unique Landscapes-Aspen Wood, and/or 
Unique Landscapes-Silverfish River valley. 

This started as a request to patch Cardac and UL Aspen Wood. It has evolved into
a set of seven individual patch files which address every possible combination
of the four mods mentioned above.  

Cardac was in my opinion a bit unfinished since it placed items such as stairs
in areas that would suggest there were trails planned at some point. However 
there were no trails leading to the castle or village from the main road. And 
no trails from the Village to the castle or outlying structures. I have taken the 
liberty of correcting this oversight. 

Also Cardac had no proper path gridding whatsoever. Therefore I had to completely 
make path grids from scratch in all of the areas where structures were placed and 
along trails. I have not path gridded interiors because that may be crossing the
boundaries of what the patches were supposed to accomplish and what I was given
permission for....so alas the castle interiors will not be companion friendly. 

I do suggest giving Cardac a good cleaning with TES4Edit before using it.   


Details
=========

There are seven patch files included which cover various combinations of the
mods mentioned above. In each of the patches I made specific adjustments around
Cardac Castle and Cardac Village areas. Things like adding a trail from the village
to the castle, adding a trail from the village to the graveyard, adding trails from
both the castle and village downhill to the main road, adding path grids to all 
exterior areas, adding steps in places where they were needed, adjusting landscaping 
and placed objects.

These adjustments help to make Cardac much more user friendly, and maintain as
much of the original look and feel from all mods addressed by the patches. So the
area around Cardac and it's village will look the same, to the greatest extent possible, 
regardless of which other mods and patch you have installed.


Location
========

Primary areas are centered around game cell 33,-2 south of Mackamentain

Load Order 
===========

I suggest using BOSS to set load order. Cardac and all of these patches are already
included on the most recent Masterlist update. Specific load order instructions are
also included with each individual patch download.
 

Incompatibility
===============

Most likely will conflict with any other mods and patches which touch this area. No
other conflicts have been reported so far.
