Description
===========
A patch to allow everyone to use Rise of a Samurai with Snowdale.
Note that you still need to download Rise of a Samurai and Snowdale separately. Links are available in the Requirements section.

Details
=======
Rise of a Samurai adds a Japanese/Akaviri-style player home between Bruma and Frostcrag Tower (from official DLC).
Unfortunately, when used with Snowdale, the player home becomes inaccessible, and a couple of trees are left floating.

This patch grounds the trees, provides access to the home and restores pathgrids around the home.

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:
Rise Of A Samurai.esp
xulSnowdale.esp
RiseOfASamurai-Snowdale patch.esp

The patch is dependent on the Samurai ESP, and requires that the filename matches that listed above.


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 any other mod which conflicts with Rise of a Samurai.
