Intro
========================================================
Hi all.

Well, this is it. Skyrim Improved refitted, with permission, to work with TWMP. With fixed landscape issues, removed bugs and so on. Picking up the banner left by Skyrim Improved Team.


Mod includes:
========================================================
- 10 settlements (Laintar Dale, Oakwood, Riverwood, Blackmoor, Nimlaten City, Sungard, Greenwall, Vernim Wood, Dungar Wall and Granitehall)
- 3 cities -- Snowhawk, Windhelm and Solitude.
- 10 mines, 3 caves, 1 special location, many encounters in the wilderness


Requirements:

http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/43120/?
http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/40005/? (only High Rock is needed, not SKyrim)
http://obse.silverlock.org/
http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/16622/? -- technically this is not a requirement, but will be helpful in reading dialogue
http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/35969/? -- technically this is not a requirement, but you will need a good map of region and Dynamic Map provides it, as there are no maps in my mod.

Installation
========================================================
0. Delete old resource pack that was hosted here before release. I've decided to use only 1 bsa archive for all resources, not 2, so old file is deprecated.
1. DL all prereqs and install them.
2. DL main esp and dump it to /data
3. DL resource pack and dump it to /data
4. LOD quads, 3 ways to deal with them.
a. I have generated them and put them into BSA archive. They should work right out of the box.
b. If they don't -- they are provided as separate download
c. The best way -- generate your own LOD quad meshes and textures with http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/40549/?
5. Run tes4lodgen .
6. Don't forget to do #9 from TWMP Hammerfell installation guide to remove floating trees over Hew's Bay
Load order
========================================================
Just below TWMP High Rock


Issues
========================================================
-- There are no lod for high-altitude Skyrim rivers. Engine bug. There's a way around it, but not implemented. Maybe later.
-- Low fps in seashore areas. Cause: fish AI boggles down CPU. Will be fixed in TWMP Locations
-- Polar bears are cuddly and friendly. Will be fixed in TWMP Locations
