Patches for Topal Island



A trio of patch files which repair conflicts between Topal Island, Settlements
of Cyrodiil-Legion Outposts, and Better Cities. 

Topal Island adds a small island, lighthouse, and player home in Topal Bay
South of Leyawiin. Unfortunately it conflicts directly with Better Cities which
adds nearly the same thing in nearly the same location. Using either of those
with SOC Legion Outposts creates additional problems.


Details
=========

There are three patch files included which cover various combinations of the
mods mentioned above. Fixes include sewing up landscape rips at cell borders,
repainting landscape textures, adjusting path grids, adjusting numerous buried
or floating objects.

The Topal Island mod itself had a few flaws such as the lighthouse being left
floating above ground level with no base to speak of. This left a huge gap all
the way around the lighthouse. I've filled it in with large rocks so everything
looks normal.

I'm sure someone will point out that there is a pre-existing patch for Topal Island
and Better Cities. I did look at it before making my own. Lametrie's patch ONLY
fixes the landscaping rips. It left the boats and docks from Better Cities buried
under a house, did not restore the path grids for the Better Cities lighthouse, and
did not fix the huge gaps on the Topal Island lighthouse. Additionally that patch
requires a load order which is not consistent with established BOSS load orders for
these mods.
