Project
This is our Release Thread LVII. Here you find our current releases and information about updates. Praise, criticism, questions and bug reports should be posted in here.
Please also visit our current http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1017184. We are always in search of new modders! The previous Release Thread can be found http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=988694.
Unique Landscapes (short: UL) is based on the vision of a diversified and beautiful Cyrodiil. Imagine a world where exploring not only means to find new enemies and treasures but to enjoy gorgeous landscapes, a world where every step could lead to a new and unique visual experience. That is the Cyrodiil UL is working on.
To achieve a goal that huge, the UL project consists of multiple single mods. Each mod modifies a part of Cyrodiil, following a single theme. Usually UL mods get developed completely independently from each other. This way each modder has a maximum of freedom to work on his or her vision, so every UL mod gets its own style and contributes to the diversification of Cyrodiil.
To get a quick impression, please take a look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itgFAEwV_uA done for UL by Egger3rd!
All information about UL can also be found in the http://www.oblivionmodwiki.com/index.php?title=Unique_Landscapes#Unique_Landscapes_Team.

=======================================================================
Section 1
:: User Information ::
1.1: FAQ
- Is UL compatible to
- What about performance? The only UL mod for which some people reported a performance hit is Dark Forest, but with an average gaming computer this should be no problem. Otherwise there is a LowPolyGrass patch available (see at the bottom of the Dark Forest description).
- Is there a complete UL package that contains all of the mods? Not yet. Maybe there will be a UL package some day, but we have no ETA for it.
- Do I have to use a specific load order for the UL mods? If all of the UL mods that you use are up-to-date, you can load them in any order you want to.
- What exactly is a Saint? A Saint is a title we give to modders who have completed a UL mod in recognition of their accomplishment. The Roman Numeral after their name represents how many UL mods they have finished.
1.2: Compatibility Issues
First: We strongly recommend the use of http://timeslip.chorrol.com/obmm.html. Its .omod format allows to easily deinstall the UL mods if needed and (even without using .omods) to adjust the load order.
As a rule of thumb you can say that UL mods should be loaded last; there are lots of mods that have issues with UL otherwise, so if you find a problem, please try if loading the according UL mod last resolves the issue. In general, UL is compatible to any mod that doesn't edit the outdoor landscape. This includes Texture packs, Grass mods and so on. Some other mods are not compatible with single ULs, but there are patches to make them work. These can be found in the Compatibility Patches list. Finally, at the end of this section, you will find a list of mods that are incompatible with single UL mods in a way that no patch is possible without destroying one of the mods' spirit, so you will have to choose between them, sorry!
Instructions for Special cases:
AliveWaters: This has to be loaded prior to UL mods. There may be less fishes and vegetation near the beaches when used together with Beaches of Cyrodiil: Lost Coast.
Almost Everything VWD: Install AEVWD prior to UL mods or ensure that UL's data files overwrite the AEVWD ones by using http://timeslip.chorrol.com/obmm.html, then everything is fine.
Bartholm: This mod has to be loaded after Panther River.
Gates Map Marker Remover: This mod has to be loaded after all UL mods.
House mods: This depends on which location the house is placed. If it is outside of current UL locations, it is compatible, otherwise you have to try out.
Knights of the Nine: All UL mods are compatible to KOTN. Ancient Redwoods and River Ethe have to be loaded after Knights.esp.
Kvatch Aftermath: We strongly recommend using the KA 6.3 Cleaned and Fixed 6.3 by ElminsterEU. With other versions, multiple conflicts with many ULs may occur. Even that one has to be loaded after Entius Gorge.
Natural Vegetation (part of Natural Environment): If you feel that the vegetation gets too dense when combining this with UL, set your load order to load Natural Vegetation prior to the UL mods which you want to use with default vegetation size.
Natural Water: To avoid conflicts with water areas, you should load this before the UL mods.
OOO: In general: Yes, UL mods are compatible to OOO. Beaches of Cyrodiil: Lost Coast however has to be loaded after OOO to avoid graphical glitches. There may occur more problems with OOO when new UL mods or OOO versions come out. Just visit this post again to stay up-to-date.
Official Oblivion Patch 1.2: There are no known issues with any UL mod.
StarX Vanilla Vampires Revised: This mod has to be loaded after Stendarr Valley.
The Lost Spires: This mod has to be loaded before Bravil Barrowfields.
Unofficial Oblivion Patch: That one should be loaded prior to all UL mods. Currently there is a minor conflict with Blackwood Forest that causes a floating rock; this will be fixed in the next version of Blackwood Forest. IMPORTANT: If you also use Wrye Bash, you have to remove the C.Water tag from UOP's .esp. To do this with older versions of WB, you manually have to remove "C.Water," (including the comma) from the description box. With newer versions, you have to right-click on it and uncheck C.Water in the menu.
Wrye Bash's "Bashed Patch": Obviously this one has to be loaded after UL because it is thought to resolve conflicts by overwriting them.
Compatibility Patches
The following patches fix issues that appear when using the given non-UL mod with the given UL mod. If not noted otherwise, they were created by Arthmoor and Vorians (alias "display name is already in use"). If no special instruction is given, the non-UL mod has to be loaded first, then the UL mod and at last the patch.

1.3: Other Known Issues
Currently we don't know of any issues that don't have to do with compatibility. For compatibility issues take a look at the section above.
1.4: Cooperating mods
This is a list of mods whose makers stay in contact with the UL council to avoid compatibility conflicts and/or exchange resources. If those mods edit cells in Cyrodiil, these cells may be marked in our map as reserved.

:: Overview ::
The Ancient Yews features a complete landscape makeover, inspired by the Yew trees of England. It includes a major water feature, with waterfalls, and stone pathways. Adorning the hill is Arkved's Spike, which is the ideal spot to survey the land. The spike reminds the adventurer that The Ancient Yews might have been some kind of region of power in the days of Olde. Longmans Barrow is an ancient sealed tomb that is closed due to unknown reasons at this stage. It is easy to waste time, just looking at the scenery while in the Yews. We can not blame you if you do. Just hold your horses, someday we shall all discover the truth about Longmans Barrow and its contents. It may not be so nice. Remember, if you stay away from the Ancient Yews, you may be doing yourself a visual disservice!

:: Overview ::
Ice cold springs rise in the Mountains and unite to a creek that feed Lake Arrius north of Cheydinhal and continues its way to the southeast. In the eastern part, the landscape is sparse and rocky while the tree density increases when going westwards, repeatedly interrupted by big groups of rocks. Unrestrained by its stony streambed, the water rushes downwards in the steep, sharp gorge it milled out during eons. Lake Arrius is a deep and cold mountain sea, whose shore line is mostly formed by overhanging rocks. Its depth takes most of the power of the rushing water masses. From the lake, the water finds its way to the lower regions of inner Cyrodiil in a more calm, but not less impressive way.
At some places, humanoid traces are highly visible: Chopped trees lead to a charburner's camp and bridges offer a safe way to pass the stream. Some resourceful craftsmen learned to utilise the power of the streaming water: In a water driven hammer mill, supplied with ore from the nearby mine, tools get manufactured, and a grinding mill, powered by the water, produces granite plates.

:: Overview ::
This is the first in a series of UL mods designed to be a total conversion of the beaches of our beloved Cyrodiil. The Lost Coast overhauls the entire area north of Anvil, and divides it into three regions: The Anvil Cliffsides, The Lost Coast, and Oyster Bay. The Anvil Cliffsides are large, stout cliffs that reach from Anvil to Crowhaven. It features a large, tall rock, known as Beacon Rock, along with a very extensive history of the Rock. The Lost Coast is a stretch of long, wide beaches, littered with driftwood and occasional rocks. Even though they are wide open, they protray a sense of solitude and seclusion, hence the name. Oyster Bay is an old oyster farming town, long since ruined. Of course, there is a good piece of history to go along with it, but it is (of course) featured in the mod as a series of books and journals. Don't get creeped out by the solitude and loneliness of Oyster Bay. After all, it is only a ghost-town. Or is it "just a ghost-town"? Go visit it and you decide...

:: Overview ::
This mod overhauls the southern half of the Blackwood, east and southeast of Leyawiin. It changes the area to a dense wood on moist ground, in consistence to the closeness of the swamps in the north. Small creeks meander between the trees, leading to the south below the canopy of leaves, until they unite to a small stream that flows into the sea.

:: Overview ::
Bravil Barrowfields improves the area around Bravil and the Larsius River. It creates a wide grassland with small hills, intermitted by small groups of trees and speckled with bushes. Though nature is gorgeous in this region, signs of decay can be seen whereever civilization left its mark: Ruinous buildings and crumbled walls testify to the poverty of County Bravil's inhabitants. In the hinterland, ancient graves can be found that give this mod its name and create a somewhat enchanted atmosphere.
This mod is based less on spectacular views than on a lot of carefully placed details which can be found everywhere in Bravil Barrowfield's area, so it's worth to explore it thoroughly.

:: Overview ::
Brena River Ravine stretches from BoC:Lost Coast to the headwaters of both forks of the Brena River. At the river's fork, the area is divided by a system of ancient Ayleid dams which serve to create 3 distinct regions in the area.
The north fork of the river stretches back into a thick forest lined with many rocks, trees, and old Ayleid fortifications. One dam here creates a reservoir of deep water. A group of bandits has made the area its home and headquarters of their smuggling operations.
The east fork is marked by a pair of large and ancient Ayleid dams, the purpose of which has been lost to the ages. The twin dams stand as a testament to the engineering skills of the Ayleids. The waters here are very deep and the ravine is lined by massive cliffs. A giant waterfall marks the headwaters of the east fork, rising thousands of feet up the wall to a small lake in the Colovian Highlands.
Below the dams the Brena River's waters are shallow. It lazily winds through the Colovian Highlands on its way to the Abecean Sea. Here, amongst the greenery lie the humble old remains of a once great Ayleid city, interspersed with clusters of rocks and flowers.

:: Overview ::
Cheydinhal Falls overhauls the surrounding of Cheydinhal. It prolongs the Reed River to the city and continues it to a peaceful lake at the bottom of the mountains that is surrounded by dense forest. From this source, the water quietly flows through the wilderness and then, after the city, changes to a wild creek that splashes through steep gorges and over waterfalls until it becomes the again slowly flowing Reed River.

:: Overview ::
50 years or so ago, the villagers of Chorrol took it upon themselves to become agriculturally self-sufficient. No more having to rely on imports from the Imperial City that rarely showed up on schedule. But they also noticed how dangerous the woodlands on the borders had become. The answer to this dilemma was the creation of a wall surrounding the farmlands. This farming area outside of the main town walls became known as the Chorrol Hinterland. If the occasional monster does happen to cross the wall, it is quickly taken care of by the many dillegent gaurds who patrol the perimeter. Many sister villages in Cyrodiil have become jealous of this engineering feat that the Chorrol villagers undertook. The Chorrol townsfolk just wink and smile when they hear this.

:: Overview ::
This mod changes the mountaineous area north-west of Chorrol. The lower mountainside is covered by dense and dark conifer wood and lots of rocks, with small paths running through the area. Halfway to the top, plateaus with grass and flowers separate the woody lower half from the rocky upper part of the mod, where more and bigger rocks change the landscape to a cliffy and inhospitable place. Lots of small paths form a labyrinthine network there, and at the top as well as on the plateaus, ruins of old fortifications show that you are near the border to Hammerfell.

:: Overview ::
A highly defensible trading post was built in the Colovian Highlands at the beginning of the first era and after Colovia was conquered. Rich Trade goods were brought from Hammerfell and even High Rock over the mountains to County Chorrol. But, because of the addition of a faster route to the port of Anvil and the border expansion in the year 1E 1029, the Colovian trading post became unimportant and was eventually forgotten.
More than one thousand years later, a group of smugglers discovered the expanded natural rock caves and started to use them as a resting place and hideout. Then the Thrassian plague broke out and more than half of Tamriels inhabitants died. The few surviving smugglers secured their loot with traps and left to find a cure. They planned to locate and identify their traps by certain noises and deactivate them, if and when they returned. They didn't return and the traps are still activated. No one knows if exploring the caves is worth the risk. All those who tried and lived to tell were unwilling to return to the caves and risk their lives again. They told of horrible fluttering, biting animals and devious traps that reactivate themself when tripped. Do you have what it takes to reconquer the Colovian Highlands?

:: Overview ::
Entius Gorge is a deep gorge located inside the Nibenay Basin Region, near the source of the Silverfish River. It features mist and firefly ambience effects and a new creature, the Degenerated Slaughterfish. A recent poll of adventurers conducted by Cyrodiil Travellers' Guild notes that Entius Gorge is among the most beautiful regions across the land. Don't forget to be careful if you want to take a dip; the combination of the currents and the shape of the riverbed has been known to trick unwary swimmers. Plus the slaughterfish, mind you. But don't get scared away by my warnings. First-time visitors are bound to be blown away by the "gorge"ous scenery. In fact, the CTG makes regular trips here with new members to showcase the beauty of it. This is a wonderful environment, but watch out when petting the fish...they just might take a piece out of you!

:: Overview ::
Fallenleaf Everglade, the ninth chapter in the Unique Landscapes series, is a breathtaking swamp southeast of Skingrad. Its shallow, murky waters and ancient deep green trees add to the mystery of the primeval swamp. The large basin that houses the Everglade overlooks an ancient ayeleid ruin, and further beyond, a deep gorge carved by the mighty Ferid river. The Fallenleaf Everglade is the headwater for the Ferid, and home to an abundance of flora and fauna. It is a miniature ecosystem in its own. There is nowhere else like it in all of Tamriel. Further more, the Ferid Gorge has been added. It is a deep gorge lined with steep, gigantic mossy rock walls. The ancient trees that sprout from cracks in the wall overlook the pristine waters like ancient guardians. The Granite cliff, measuring over 70 feet tall is a unique landmark definitely worth a visit. The Cyrodiil Travelers Guild gives it a 5 star rating and adds that this is another must-see location out in the wilderlands. The Fighters' Guild in Skingrad is another group that uses the area; in this case, it is to train their recruits in cliff climbing. This is a very scenic landscape to visit, so make plans to see it while in the area.

:: Overview ::
The majesticness that is the Imperial Isle is finally brought to life through this Unique Landscape. City residents no longer have to leave the Isle in order to find naturally gorgeous scenery. Small shrines now dot the Isle, where travelers can rest and take in the view. Even the wildlife look better in this new environment...will make you think twice before slaughtering that venison for your next meal. Also, now that there is more foliage, you no longer think twice about where exactly that bird is that you heard, because it could be in any of the numerous new trees and bushes. The Cyrodiil Travelers' Guild lists the Imperial Isle as "One of the prettiest environments to visit", and also "Very convenient...just step outside the walls of the Imperial City, and you are there."

:: Overview ::
This plugin adds a Grass Hills environment between the Imperial City and Cheydinhal, complete with grazing sheep, a wheat field and a windmill.
Finally, after centuries of having to import food from neighboring provinces, the Imperial City has a farm relatively nearby. It happens to be north of the Blue Road, which connects the Red Ring Road with the village of Cheydinhal. Several farm buildings and fenced off pastures make Rolling Hills quite the idyllic agricultural dreamland. The farm workers are hard working, have schedules to keep, and have little time for idle pvssyr, so don't bug them too much. Otherwise, the Imperial City will not have enough food to feed the masses. And guess what? You are one of the masses!
The chickens were provided by http://farmersunite.myfreeforum.org/. The mill and the remaining new models in the mod were created by RA II.

:: Overview ::
Stendarr Valley features a winter wilderness, a dead forest, and a few places of interest to the Jerral Mountains region. If you enjoy mountain climbing, exploring snow-covered regions, and plain old winter adventuring, this is the mod for you! But one must take care when one climbs in the Jerrals; it is easy to get hurt because falls can happen often, even when you are not expecting it . Remember, this is the wilds...quite a ways away from any healing temples, so pack plenty of potions. So many folk have been involved in mishaps while traveling through this region that the Cyrodiil Travelers' Guild only recommends this area if you are well-equipped and armored. Also, you might want to watch out for the wild beasts; wolves and bears are all over. Many an unwise adventurer has found themselves bleeding to death because of a few too many wild-beast bites. But, fear not! Perhaps you have a spell to control them? All-in-all, get ready for a decent adventure with some realistic mountaineering in the coldest part of Cyrodiil...BRRR!!!

Located within the forest is Harcanes Grove, a place of magic and wonder, and Lorikh Village, a forsaken and cursed ruin of a village. The area features several new re-textured trees and plantlife along with unique creatures and ambience effects. Most of the rock ledges and tree logs are sittable. However, it is a good idea to not be sitting around for too long in this spooky environment. One never knows what will happen. In fact, there is a rumor that tells something about what happens to you if you fall asleep in The Dark Forest. But no one remembers how the rest of the rumor went. This mod is not recommended for players who are faint of heart. We warned you.

:: Overview ::
This plugin adds a dense Redwood Forest to the Great Forest, south-east of Chorrol. Additionally, there are Kodiak Bears who inhabit the area and feature advanced AI. There are even families of Kodiaks. You'll see an advlt Kodiak protectively accompanying its cub or cubs. You can chase the cubs and they will play around, while the parents will keep a watchful eye on them, making sure they don't wander too far! The Kodiaks are all harmless to you, unless, of course, you attack them. The Kodiaks have a sleep schedule too. They'll find a suitable spot, and sleep soundly unless you or an enemy is nearby. In fact, we've included snoring sounds when the Kodiaks sleep! They will awake if you come to close, but if you're quiet enough, you'll be able to sneak around them without waking them from their sleep. They also have a keen interest in berries. You'll see the Kodiaks eating them occasionally. A Kodiak Den is provided, with a Kodiak family nearby. You can even use the den as a home if you'd like. It features a soft mossy interior with a log that you can sit on and sittable rocks, along with the sleeping area. Have yourself a good nap on the soft moss...pleasant dreams!

:: Overview ::
The Lush Woodlands adds many more trees to the Great Forest, east of Chorrol. To match these green trees, the ground is now much more green, consisting of mostly grass and clover. Also, the ground without this mod is very jagged, consisting of many ugly vertices that pop out of the ground We have made the ground is much smoother. The ruin called "Lindai", directly east of Chorrol, now features a very, very detailed graveyard site, containing many tombstones. There's also added vertex shadows beneath the trees to further give the illusion of a dense forest with a thick tree canopy. The shadow that is added comes with no performance hit, so that's taken advantage of. The only thing that causes a performance hit is the added trees of course, but it's only an average of -3 frames per second loss. There is minimal FPS Loss.

:: Overview ::
This plugin adds a Heath/Wetland type environment to the County Kvatch area with additional Muskrats and features night-time mist effects and fireflies for ambience. When your adventurer becomes tired, most of the rock ledges and tree logs are sittable; the realism makes many an adventurer want to slow down and enjoy. However, we all know that the object of the game is not just to sit around and marvel at the landscape; do so if you want, though. It's up to you, because THE HEATH was the very first of the UniqueLandscapes, and still is considered by many to be one of the best. But aren't they all pretty good? It is hard to decide which is "the best." Centuries from now, scholars will be downloading remnants of THE HEATH and marveling, "This is the one that began it all." Who knows, there may be a new interpretation of the game out by then, called "Elder Scolls: UniqueLandscapes Version."

Section 3
:: About the Project ::
3.1: The UL Modstitution
History: v1.0: 2006-Nov-19, v2.0: 2006-Dec-29, v2.1: 2007-Mar-10
Part One: Council Rules
1.) UL is led by a council that has the purpose to control the development of the UL project. The council members declare one of their own as the council spokesman whose job it is to organize votings and announce decisions that have been made.
2.) A vote by the council may be done in two ways:
- If a possible decision has been discussed upon and a majority of the council member unambiguously agree on it in the thread, the council spokesman announces that decision, by which it gets official.
- Otherwise the council spokesman organizes a voting by formulating "voting ballots" which get sent to the council members. He also counts the votes and announces the result.
3.) New council members have to be voted upon by the council. This includes both new modders and other people that help with aspects of UL. Council members can be removed from the council for cogent reasons by voting so.
4.) Before a mod gets the status of a "UL WIP mod" it must be voted upon by the council. The council also may deprive a mod of that status. If a UL WIP mod gets finished without becoming deprived during beta stage, it automatically gets an UL mod.
5.) Finished mods that were developed independently from UL may be voted upon by the council to make them UL mods. This includes formerly deprived UL WIP mods.
6.) Everybody may suggest mod ideas in the threads, but the council decides if a mod idea gets added to the OP and it also has the right to remove ideas.
Part Two: Modding Rules
1.) UL mods must be conflict free with all other UL mods.
2.) UL mods must not break any Vanilla Oblivion quests.
3.) UL mods must be lore friendly. They do not need to be cited in the lore and they do not have to explicitly follow the lore, but they must fit into the Elder Scrolls world.
4.) UL mods may not use outside resources without the owner's permission.
5.) UL mods shall focus on landscaping. Buildings, Quests, NPCs and/or creatures are allowed to be part of an UL mod only if they are essential for the credibility or the atmosphere of the mod.
6.) UL mods are allowed to edit cells outside of Cyrodiil only if this is needed to create a consistent landscape that also edits cells inside of Cyrodiil.
7.) When the mod is finished, a short description of the mod must be written to be posted in the release section. If any help is needed, contact any of the council members for assistance.
8.) UL Mods shall only use Shivering Isles resources if they are located in Sheogorath's Realm.
3.2: UL History
Chapter 1: Back around the end of May 2006, several modders, led by addiktive, had gotten tired of the vanilla landscapes. They knew that better and more interesting lands could be carved out of the Construction Set with a little bit of effort. They called their initial thread UniqueForests, because those were some of the first landscapes to be worked on. Later on, the title was switched to UniqueLandscapes to better define the actuality of their work. Little did they know back then, but they had created one of the most popular threads on ElderScroll.com/forums! They worked hard on their creation and positive results soon followed. Many downloads and positive comments later, by thread XX, addiktive had found new dreams and departed.
Chapter 2: There was lots of insecurity when addiktive left and no one was sure what would happen to the thread. Yzerman19, with little experience running threads, took over in the middle of September, righted the listing of UL mods (with assistance from the team) and started to renew the OP with fresh ideas. But the lack of an leading authority in the team caused further problems and ended in big verbal fights in the thread. To avoid this in the future, a collection of rules for UL, the "Modstitution", was written by DarkAsmodeous and cthulhu314. This cleared up some things but could not prevent long discussions in the public. So a second version of the modstitution was formulated by cthulhu314. Following the Modstitution v2.0, the UL council was founded with the initial members yzerman19, aberneth and cthulhu314.
