About this mod
This isn't basic compatibility. It isn't even 'aggressive' compatibility. This is the maximum compatibility version of Rocky West Gash, especially for players using 'Beautiful Cities of Morrowind'. Now fully compatible with BCOM and all of its patches & replacers.

In August 2021, malbogatra released 'Rocky West Gash', a massive and incredibly immersive overhaul of the West Gash region.
Unfortunately, it conflicted with just about everything.
Within a week, Bluttier released a 'Compatibility Version' that made RWG compatible with most Balmora overhauls, including Stonewood Pass.
Unfortunately, the initial release left the most of the landscape changes and barely touched Gnisis. (More recent versions have since cut
most of the landscape edits and made RWG much more compatible in general).
A day later, Damius released an 'Aggressively Compatible Version' based on Bluttier's initial patch, that stripped all of the landscape edits
to the whole region, along with almost all of the changes south of Caldera, and made even more edits to Gnisis, making it even more compatible.
Unfortunately, the result still left BCOM Gnisis borderline unplayable, due to massive rocks covering multiple doorways in the area.
There were also numerous floaters, and between the BCOM expansion of the Gnisis docks and the RWG expansion of the cliffs opposite Gnisis,
the River Samsi that ran south of the city was basically non-existent.
Now, a few months later, I'm releasing my own personal edit of Rocky West Gash. I took Damius's 'Aggressively Compatible patch and
cut out anything that conflicted with BCOM, especially around Gnisis -- the cliffs that circle the city are now fairly bare, but all of
the doorways are now accessible, and the River Samsi is once again navigable. I also cut out any floaters, edited the mucksponge pool
west of the striderport, and removed as many of the buried RWG rock statics that I could find. I also removed a number of rocks around
'Moonmoth Legion Fort' for compatibility with the BCOM version of the fort, and removed some of the cliffs south of Ald Velothi, as
they conflicted with the BCOM edits to the Ald Velothi dock.
In addition, I also made a number of changes around Andasreth, to make Rocky West Gash fully compatible with both the
Andasreth Stronghold overhaul as well as 'Justice for Khartag' Khartag Point overhaul.
Finally, I cleaned with tes3cmd, and then used Morrowind Enchanted Editor to clean any other dirty edits to other cells.
---------
To install:
Download, extract, install with a mod manager (I use Mod Organizer 2), and enable the BCOM Rocky West Gash.esp.
This is a complete replacer for Rocky West Gash. You do not need either the esp or any assets from the original mod or previous compatibility versions.
This mod is packaged as a BAIN installer.
00 Core contains the main plugin.
01 Stratified Rocks contains the original meshes and textures made by malbogatra, optimized by Damius
01 Vanilla Friendly Rocks contains replacement rock meshes by 1Mac that point to rock textures present in the base game.
You must pick one of the 01 options, but you only need to install one of them -- they cover the same set of meshes that the mod relies on. I personally recommend the Vanilla-Friendly version, as it slightly improves FPS and is a much better fit for vanilla aesthetics.
