Change Log from v1.0 - 12/04/2016
====================================

1. Added a new patch for Daedric Shrine Ruins (made by skeletonking).


Description
===========

At this time there are only two patch files included which will repair 
conflicts with HESU The Valenwood Mine. Others may follow if there are 
reports of additional mod conflicts.  

The first patch is for use with Valenwood Improved by Eldarie. It was made 
using the most up to date English version of VI. Fixes include repairing 
massive landscape conflicts along the Strid river cliffs South of Mortal 
Camp on the Cyrodiil side and North of Ebon Roe on the Valenwood side. The 
large VI waterfalls were redirected slightly. The small VI boat dock area 
with the pub was relocated to the west. And a new road leading uphill from 
there was landscaped in completely from scratch. Portions of the Valenwood 
road directly above the mine also had to be rebuilt from scratch.

Due to the extensive landscaping changes that were made in this area, the 
default Valenwood Improved landscape lod meshes no longer match up so well
with the current landscape. You will most likely find that the old lod is
exposed in some areas, in particular near the base of the large waterfalls. 
To fix this you will need to generate new landscape lod meshes. I won't be
making them because there are too many other mods using the same lod quad.
I suggest using Tes4LL to easily generate lod for your specific loaded mods.  

The second patch is for use with Daedric Shrine Ruins by David Brasher. This
patch repairs landscape conflicts near the Mehrunes Fel ruin.
