=================
Installation
=================
1. Extract this archive to any folder and then copy the contents to Oblivion's Data folder.
2. Start Oblivion Launcher, click Data Files, and enable the .esp file(s).
3. You need to have your borders turned off. For those who haven't done this before edit the oblivion.ini in your My Games\Oblivion (one with your saved games) and look for the line with "bBorderRegionsEnabled=1" and change the 1 or a 0 (zero) and save.
4. OBMM players copy the obom file to your mods directory and activate.
=================
Un-Installation:
=================
1. Start Oblivion Launcher, click Data Files, uncheck the .esp file(s).
2. Delete the files/folders associated with the mod.
3. OBMM players just deactivate the omod and remove.
=================
Upgrade:
=================
As with all upgrades it is highly recommended that you uninstall the previous version and create a new clean save before installing this upgrade. While nothing was removed, some items have changed and been rearranged. I've noticed that using a previous saved game may leave things out of place as they were moved. Any important items (armor, weapons, clothing, jewelry) that you wish to save I highly recommend removing to a safe place before creating your new saved game.
=================
Incompatibility:
=================
02/18/2010 - it has been brought to my attention that the house conflicts with a quest location for - Knights of the White Stallion 4.4. There is nothing I am able to do to rectify that. Players might disable Knights of the White Stallion while they are evaluating whether or not to keep the house.
=================
Known Issues:
=================
If you are using Nottlong's Nou-Malatu Ayleid dungeon mod it needs to be loaded before Eagle's Landing. Use Oblivion Mod Manager or similiar software to adjust your load order.
