Description
===========
A patch to allow everyone to use both The Ancient Source and Unique Landscapes Chorrol Hinterland MODs.
Note that you still need to download The Ancient Source and Chorrol Hinterland separately. Links are available in the Requirements section.

Details
=======
The Ancient Source places a house and tower situated just north of Weynon Priory in the Great Forest outside Chorrol. Chorrol Hinterland overhauls the landscape all around the city of Chorrol, and specifically, also places a tower in roughly the same location.
Unfortunately, using both mods together results in land tears and/or floating trees, plants, rocks and the house itself. Also the walkway leading to the tower from Chorrol Hinterland clips with part of the house from The Ancient Source.

This patch resolves all issues, moving the house a very short distance south so as to resolve the clipping with the walkway, raising the land to fix the floating well, grounds floating rocks, trees and bushes, and creates a clean break in the low wall blocking the approach to the door for the house (see screenshots on the download page).

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. Disable AncientSource.esp, load a saved game, and make a fresh save. This is necessary to ensure that the doors and lights are correctly positioned.
2. Copy AncientSource-ChorrolHinterland patch.esp file to (install folder)\Oblivion\Data\
3. Start OBMM/Wrye Bash, place a checkmark beside the .esp file, and enable AncientSource.esp again.
4. Adjust load order as follows:
AncientSource.esp
xulChorrolHinterland.esp
AncientSource-ChorrolHinterland 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 The Ancient Source.
Works fine with my compatibility patches for Better Cities, Open Better Cities and Open Cities.
Use the following load order if you use any of these patches too:
AncientSource.esp
xulChorrolHinterland.esp
Better Cities CHORROL.esp OR Better Cities FULL.esp OR Open Better Cities CHORROL.esp OR Open Better Cities FULL.esp OR Open Cities.esp
BCChorrol-ChorrolHinterland fix.esp OR OBCChorrol-ChorrolHinterland fix.esp OR OCC-ULCH-Patch.esp
AncientSource-ChorrolHinterland patch.esp

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