"Please note that nothing makes me more frustrated than seeing comments like "Reaper's mods kill my computer!" or "Don't download that, it's so laggy." FPS is NOT mod dependant, as certain systems run it just fine. Everything can affect your FPS, from Hi-rez texture replacers down to hardware. Please have a bit of respect and don't smash my mods publically because your computer dosen't run them very well, it's just poor form !">>>

Compatibility/Incompatibility:

- NO MORE issue with Heart of the Dead v6.5, there is a cave/temple entry that was hidden by my mod, Gunzoguns Solved it for you Guys, Tkx to him ! Just make sure the load order is:
>Coldstone (aka,The Dark Tower
>Heart of the Dead
>Coldstone vs HoD Patch
- an incompatibility with the mod "BladeSong". A cave and some rocks are floating in the middle of the village, near the waterfall.Patch to come, in the mean time just disable my mod when you're in this part of the BS Quest.
- If you are using UL"Arius Creek" there's a patch for it on the UL Site.
- This Mod is NOT Compatible whit my "Reaper's Tower" mod,(the reaper tower is modify and relocated in this mod)
- This mod IS compatible whit "Servant of the Dawn" (the dragon temple area is not modify)
- This mods should be compatible whit any mod that modify the imediate area of dive rock, But will NOT
be compatible whit any mod that modify the Near North of dive rock.
For the rest of the mods...Please understand that there's alots of mods out there and that i can't name them
all here. For any future major incompatibility, please let me know in my TESnexus message box! You can find me
there as "Reaper9111".



Knows Issue:

- If you get a crash in town, or trying to fast travel to coldstone (it is now ONLY and DIRECTLY related to your Memory CPU.)
the mod has been clean from all the crap...
- Some npc (2) seem to look left and right while drinking, i don't know how to solve this, Wild Edit has been removed from the Animation / Idle tree. (and it's still there)
- Some user might get problems with some of the outfit, This is directly related to what type of Boyy you are using
Some BBB (Better Bouncing Boobs) users have reported this, Nothing i can do about this (the mod was made with HGEC)



TIPS on Running the Mod the First Time:

> Complete all the quest's starting with the Fox Hunt (Killing off all the running Foxes makes a difference)
(They are using AI and rendering resources that get free'd up as sooon as they are all dead....kill all of them)
This Quest can be started when talking to Misha (a fat Redguard in Lower Coldstone)
> In the early start of the Mod......save very frequently......Coldstone seems to run a little better starting from a save after a crash)
(Actually the overload in memory gets cleaned out after a crash, making the game run a little better each time)
> Coldstone stops crashing after all the quests have been completed and the CPU and Memory load have dropped.
> If your computer system is underpowered and not running 3-4 Gigs of memory, it might be a challenge running Coldstone in the very beginning until you have completed the quests.

Just unzip the mod and drag the "Textures, Meshes, Sound, Reaper's The Dak Tower .esp" in your oblivion data folder.
