What is this mod? This mod fixes bugs, CTDs and game breaking issues in Northern Springs, while also adding some new content and tweaking some things for better game balance. --- Questions and answers
Q: Which files do I need to install? A: Install the most recent file from the Northern Springs page and my bugfix mod for the optimal experience in Northern Springs
Q: What is Vault Z/Lo Pan's castle/The three storms/Dema Baala? A: Unfinished content that Jshraps couldn't finish in time, so it's inaccessible
Q: What to do if I find a bug? A: Make sure to check the bug reports here (To avoid duplicate bug reports), and provide as much info as possible. A lot of issues can be traced back to how heavily the game is modded or the scripting engine not running correctly (script lag)
