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:
========================================================
Tamriel Landscape Pack
Tamriel Resource Pack
TWMP Hammerfell
TWMP High Rock (only High Rock is needed, not Skyrim)
OBSE 21
OBSE Plugin: Elys's Universal Silent Voice -- technically this is not a requirement, but will be helpful in reading dialogue
Dynamic Map -- 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.
Tamriel HD module for Dynamic Map -- improves Tamriel map for Dynamic Map framework, with actual roads.

HGEC and Robert Male body

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. [optional] Install MOBS patch generously provided by CarlosS4444.
5. 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 tes4ll
6. Run tes4lodgen .
7. 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. Fixed in TWMP Locations
-- Low fps in seashore areas. Cause: fish AI boggles down CPU. Fixed in TWMP Locations
-- Polar bears are cuddly and friendly. Fixed in TWMP Locations
