Do NOT install if you have Broken World installed.

Permissions and credits
Original mod taken from: http://ds2.bplaced.net/mods/#redict=35

Sometimes the links there don't work, so i'm posting it here for safekeeping, and for people who can't run Broken World properly.

For me Broken World runs terribly, so I prefer to run the DS2 + Hotfix mod + Legendary Mod :)

Please note:
- As you can see the Hotfix Mod has a lot of new and custom content. Originally while expecting a patch v2.3 the mod really was intended just to be a hotfix, but sadly that patch never was released. And so the mod was expanded step by step since it was not possible to split custom content form the fixed part of the game.
When using v2.3/Broken World the Aranna Legacy Mod is the corresponding replacement for the Hotfix Mod.
