I hate to steal SilentResident's thunder by not waiting for an official announcement, but want to make sure folk know that one of the game's most popular city enhancement mods, http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=19589 has been updated from v2.61 to v2.8.0. The Nexus description states that the Arcane University has been "drastically" altered to be less laggy. Its esp now comes pre-cleaned via TES4edit. Additionally, it is now compatible with at least one additional mod whose name eludes me. (It has long been compatible with the vast majority of other mods affecting IC.)

I have already downloaded and installed the update, but my avatar is doing Bartholm/Slart quests at the moment so unable to check out its changes.

Those who have not yet taken the plunge and remade the Imperial City in some other manner might want to give it a look-see.

I'll be downloading then. I switched from BC to ImpeREAL Unique Districts because it was easier on my machine a little while back, but the arcane university was still pretty laggy...

So good news.

Thanks for the update, I tried the Unique Districts a while back but quickly uninstalled it due to what I perceived to be a large drop in performance. Shortly thereafter I realized my performance in the IC is pretty bad anyway, so I've been meaning to try it again, and now I will.

Might just have to take a look at these myself. I've been kind of wanting to do something to the IC but not as heavy as what BC does with it.

Don't miss SilentResident's latest release, still WIP, but something to preview in-game: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37867. That's another something you'd been wanting to do, Arthmoor!

Interesting, will have to take a look at that too, although I still have thoughts stirring in the back of my mind on something in that area.

SilentResident did an excellent job making his Sutch mod compatible - doesn't seem to have even minor conflicts with anything in my load order.

Will the 'Let the People Drink' variant be updated to 2.8?
