Description
===========
A simple little patch to allow everyone to use both Windspear Tower and UL Stendarr Valley MODs.
Note that you still need to download Windspear Towers and Stendarr Valley separately. Links are available in the Requirements section.

Details
=======
Windspear Tower adds a player-owned mage's tower on the edge of the Jerall Mountains, which is also just within the Stendarr Valley.
However, if you try to use both mods together, you'll find that the approach to the tower is missing and much of the Tower is floating, and you'll have some glaring land tears. Or, the approach to the tower will be fine, but parts of Stendarr Valley will be buried, and you'll have some glaring land tears.

This patch restores the approach to the towers, fixes the land tears, and ensures that Stendarr Valley is not partially buried.

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

Install
=======
1. Copy the .esp file to (install folder)\Oblivion\Data\
2. Start OBMM, place a checkmark beside the .esp file.
3. Adjust load order as follows:
aaaWindSpear.esp
xulStendarrValley.esp
WindspearTower-StendarrValley compatibility 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 Windspear Tower and Stendarr.
This is also compatible with my compatibility patch for Castle Ravenpride - with one minor exception: the land texture for the very start of the path leading up to the steps towards Castle Ravenpride is abruptly cut off. But there should be no land tears or buried objects. Load order should be as follows:
Castle Ravenpride.esp
aaaWindSpear.esp
xulStendarrValley.esp
Ravenpride-Stendarr patch.esp
WindspearTower-StendarrValley compatibility patch.esp


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