While it is true that I reported mod conflicts - the main gist of it is that when you load the game it even says (with version 8.2) that there SHOULD be no city there already and to talk to Codwell in the IC.
But there is a city there and is an exact duplicate of the 7.8 version with all the same issues. Such as rocks colliding with the shrine outside. It is fully occupied and in trying to follow up with the mission that Codwell gives - there is no person at Fort Sutch to even talk to.
Clean save not necessary as detailed above. I did not go into all buildings but the NPCs look the same to me. Same city basically not a bit reworked from what I saw.
My reporting on the mod conflicts was also related to the previous discussion of how the mod was going to be more compatible and is not.
The latest version is 8.2 not 8.1 and he called it final.
[edit] but maybe I did not fully understand the difference between County of Sutch and this. Still the quest given seemed broken right from the get go.

When I say v8.1+ I mean v8.1 and any which have followed

I haven't seen the past discussion about compatibility, but I can assure you v8.1 was more compatible with other mods than v7.9, though no specific mods were considered for v8.1. For compatibility, I would guess biulding was probably talking about County Sutch (not yet released) as being more compatible specifically with mods such as those you mentioned. If the mod's main quest isn't being triggered, then yes something needs adjusting in v8.2
