Is the unofficial oblivion patch incompatible with better ctities? When trying to install the OMOD for UOP it's warning me about a conflict... All I have installed at the momment is better cities / illumination within / QARL's 3 but I have the compatibility patch for Qarls.

There's an official thread for http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1042390, please read the opening post, and if you still need this answering, post in that thread.

Aye, that's the ticket.
