Syerscote SE 2.2 - Readme

A modification for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim by savm96UK (Sam Vincent)

--What is Syerscote?--

Syerscote is an interesting new settlement for you, the player, to explore, interact with and live in. The mod is complete with custom voiced NPC's, new lore-friendly meshes, 2 quests to determine the owning faction of the town, and a purchasable and improvable player home, in the same style as vanilla Skyrim's house purchase mechanics.
The SE version is currently supported by Wheelymike (me) but it's still very much Sam's mod. Send your praise to him and any complaints to me.

--Version 2.0 (LE)--

- Minor Bugfixes
- Minor clipping issues

--Installation--

Simply put all data from the .rar file into your data folder

--Bugs, Glitches and Errors--

-Still a 0.01% chance the repair hammer and mortar & pestle in the player house will take glorious flight when nudged (harmless).
-Player may be teleported again to the site of the execution sequence a few seconds after it ends (harmless).
-Inn patrons may levitate slightly on some of the inn's seats (harmless - also probably vanilla).
-Interior lighting may be a little dark depending on your lighting setup. Should only prove an issue at extremes.
-Teensy weensy lighting bug with one of the fireplaces in the mayor's manor (harmless)
-There may still be a couple of minor exterior lighting bugs if using the ESD patch and LoS II Patch together due to the total sum of light sources both add. Shouldn't be too noticable, though.

If you run into any trouble whilst using the mod, please let me know by sending me a message or comment on the Nexus.
