Known Issues or Bugs
====================
a) One thing to be mention, not a real bug but, this mod has lot of items and big detailed areas.
If you use like a hundred of mods, or you have a "low end" weak computer, you may notice some issues like eternal or very long loading screens, and crashes by lacking memory.
2)About weapon racks
Some weapons fall from weapon racks, but its not really this mod's bug, its Bethesda's bug, the way the engine handles the hack scripts is very glitched.
Some weapons will fall on ground after cell reset,
(that occurs after 7 days without player visit the cell.. )
But since you will probably live at the fortress you will be visiting it very often, so your weapons will probably not fall ...
Maybe there is some mod around that fixes the weapon racks scripts or engine
(I've tried all DLCs and Unofficial updates... no success )
Mannequins also act like zombies some times =P

Note for hardcore gamers
==============================
I've placed the items to make the place beautiful and alive but for some player (myself included) can think that if the player start to use this mod at very beginning it's items can be seen as as a to big boost on player's money and items ... so some hardcore players may feel like cheating
For those, if i have some request, i can release a version with almost no items on it


incompatibility
==========
This Mod was created full vanilla and i run it with almost one hundred mods and texture packs installed it suppose to be compatible with everything and not need to be placed in an specific load order, you can load on any order you want.
Only could be incompatible with some mode that edit the same area the fortress was placed


Load Order
============
This mod is load order free, you can load it on top or in any other order you want.
