Description
===========

This Unique Landscapes mod edits the boring area around Roland Jenseric's hut. It changes the sparse landscape to a wide-ranging farming area.
Surrounded by high hedges, sheeps and horses are grazing on green meadows and chicken cavort on the courtyard. Above this scenery, the wings of a wind mill slowly turn, while the people do their daily work on the fields, in the barn, in the garden and on the meadows.


===============
Important Notes
===============

All gates of Rolling Hills are driven by scripts; a few seconds after activating them they close by themselves. Mill and barn cannot be entered by the player. And the chicken don't have ingredients, thus you can leave them alive ;).
You should avoid Walking through the wheat fields, because this can result in a major performance hit...


=============
Prerequisites
=============

At least the official Oblivion patch v1.1 should be installed, otherwise most probably the game will crash from time to time.


==========
Load Order
==========

UL - Ancient Yews should be loaded prior to Rolling Hills, if installed. 


============
Installation
============

Unpack the archive to the …\Oblivion\Data folder.

It contains the following directories:
* DistantLOD
* Meshes
* Sound
* Textures
together with the .esp file.

Start the Oblivion launcher, select "Data Files" and activate xulRollingHills_EV.esp.


===============
Deinstallation
==============

Delete all xulrh-directories in the folders "Meshes", "Sound" and "Textures". From the directory „Data\Meshes\landscape\lod\“ remove the file „60.00.00.32.nif“. Also all Rolling Hills related data in the distantLOD directory should be removed. To do this, unpack the Rolling Hills file again to a temporary directory and compare, which distantLOD files you should delete.
