Description
===========
A patch to allow everyone to use both Better Cities and Unique Landscapes Bravil Barrowfields MODs.
Note that you still need to download Better Cities and Bravil Barrowfields separately. Links are available in the Requirements section.

Details
=======
Better Cities is a compilation of mods which completely overhaul every single city in the game (except Kvatch). It also offers a Blood & Mud version incorporating the changes of Bravil and the new NPCs and quests from Blood & Mud. Bravil Barrowfields completely overhauls the landscape surrounding Bravil.
Unfortunately, using Better Cities with Barrowfields together causes land tears all around Bravil, and messes up the land height for the Blood & Mud new castle.

This patch repairs the land tears. The road heading east/west just south of Bravil needed some minor adjustments to trees, rocks and the small wall to accomodate the large water-side boulders added by Better Cities. Land around the B&M new castle is corrected, and pathgrids have also been adjusted.
The wooden steps leading down to the river immediately north of Bravil have been removed, as Better Cities Bravil adds its own woodens steps, walkways and houses to this same location.

ONLY for version 3.3.0+ of Better Cities.

I highly recommend using a program such as Oblivion Mod Manager (OBMM) or Wrye Bash to adjust load order.
My install instructions will assume you are using OBMM or Wrye Bash, but I expect other load-order programs function the same.


Install
=======
1. Copy the .esp file to (install folder)\Oblivion\Data\
2. Start OBMM/Wrye Bash, place a checkmark beside the .esp file.
3. Adjust load order as follows:
(Blood&Mud.esp) only if using the B&M version of Better cities
xulBravilBarrowfields.esp
Better Cities BRAVIL.esp OR Better Cities BRAVIL - Blood & Mud.esp OR Better Cities Full.esp
BCBravil-Barrowfields patch.esp OR BCBravilB&M-Barrowfields patch.esp


Uninstall
=========
1. Start Oblivion Launcher, click Data Files, uncheck the .esp file(s).
2. Delete the .esp file from \Oblivion\Data\


Incompatibility
===============
Should only be incompatible with other MODs which conflict with Better Cities' & Blood & Mud's land height.
NOT compatible with Open Cities - Open Cities shouldn't conflict with Bravil Barrowfields anyway.
NOT compatible with Open Better Cities. I have provided a separate set of patches for Open Better Cities.
Should work fine with The Lost Spires and my patch for Lost Spires and Bravil Barrowfields. Load order must be as follows:
The Lost Spires.esp
(Blood&Mud.esp) only if using the B&M version of Better cities
xulBravilBarrowfields.esp
Better Cities BRAVIL.esp OR Better Cities BRAVIL - Blood & Mud.esp OR Better Cities Full.esp
LostSpires-BravilBarrowfields patch.esp
BCBravil-Barrowfields patch.esp OR BCBravilB&M-Barrowfields patch.esp


Known Issues or Bugs
====================
None that I know of.

History
=======
2009/03/21 - Version 2.1 - The Blood & Mud version has been updated to match recent changes to Better Cities: Bravil Blood & Mud. This is intended for version 4.2.0+ of Better Cities, but will work with previous versions. The non-B&M patch has not been changed at all this release.
2008/12/31 - Version 2.2 - The Bravil version had a land tear I thought I'd fixed but forgot. Both the Bravil and the B&M versions needed corrections to pathgrids along the road which circles the north, west and south sides of Bravil
2008/12/20 - Version 2.1 - I had failed to spot a small section of fence near the Bravil Stables that was out of place. This has now been corrected.
2008/12/08 - Version 2.0 - Updated to match the latest version of Better Cities. No longer compatible with Open Better Cities, which now has its own set of patches.
2008/11/27 - Version 1.1 - Updated to match some changes made to landscape in (Open) Better Cities Bravil.
2008/11/20 - Version 1.0 - Initial release.
