I'm about to add Better Cities and I already use AWLS. I read that the Citied Alive at Night mod is complementary to AWLS, but will it be any use when I also start using Better Cities, especially if I toggle the cities to be open? I'm thininking that if the Better Cities that support it are toggled open, then AWLS will already do the same as Cities Alive At night, though maybe it might be good for non-opened cities?
Ismelda would be best suited to answer that since AWLS is her release, but doesn't AWLS make Cities Alive at Night obsolete? All BC house meshes are AWLS compatible, and all BC cities place the proper house meshes (instead of the LOD house meshes) in the Tamriel worldspace within the city walls, whether OBC is enabled or not (enabling OBC will add everything else to the Open version, the houses are always there) - this means that the windows will be there to be lit up at night by AWLS. Whether AWLS works well with Cities Alive at Night or replaces it is the only thing I'm unsure of!
Also, out of interest, does the Delivery Job part of the mod still work fine if only the Imperial City is installed.
No not really. You can get the quest at the Waterfront, and you can do the local deliveries in the Imperial City, but once you get promoted to be able to make inter-city deliveries, the other city branches won't exist without installing that city from BC, so you won't be able to make inter-city deliveries and won't ever get another promotion, so won't be able to move on to the out-of-city deliveries. It was knowing this which prompted us to start the poll about abandoning modularity in BC a few months back.
