This corresponds to Better Cities release v6.2.1
Better Cities Main ArchiveEdit
Files in folders beginning with 00, 01 or 02 are the primary files for BC.
Files in folders beginning with 03, 04 or 05 are tweaks to BC, affecting very specific parts of the mod.
Files in folders beginning with 06 are intended to try to improve FPS in games where using BC causes the game to run too slowly to play. Weaker computers or heavily modded games might need these.
Files in folders beginning with 10 are integration files. These are NOT patches, these do NOT deal with compatibility conflicts. Instead, they allow BC to integrate with special features found with other mods so that BC content can work with those special features smoothly.
Files in folders beginning with 20 or 21 are replacer files. These are NOT patches, but they do deal with compatibility conflicts. Resources from the original mod should be installed fully, but instead of using the ESP(s) from the original mod, our versions replace the original ESP(s).
Files in folders beginning with 30 or 31 are patch files. These deal with compatibility conflicts, and require that the original mod be installed fully, including the ESP(s) from the original mod.
Files in folders 21 and 31 are for the Imperial City only and will work with Open Cities Reborn.
\--- Install Images ---\Edit
Ignore this folder. Contains screenshots used by Wrye Bash and other mod managers during scripted-assisted installation.
\00 Core\Edit
Required - Better Cities Resources.esm
This is the base file from which the entire Better Cities (aka BC) mod runs. Absolutely everything in this mod requires the ESM, the game will not even start if you try to use part of BC without using the ESM.
Contains almost all of our base records, all our interiors, most quests, scripts, dialogue, NPCs and AI packages.
Required - Better Cities .esp
This ESP enables the game to read our BSA resource files. Without it, nothing from our BSAs will appear in-game, resulting in thousands of missing meshes. Note that there is a space between "Cities" and ".esp" which is intentional.
Required - Better Cities - Meshes.bsa
Required - Better Cities - Sounds EV.bsa
Required - Better Cities - Textures.bsa
These contain our resource files.
Optional - Better Cities Resources.cfg
Requires the mod LINK to be installed, otherwise it does nothing.
This config file is read by LINK, allowing the use of an in-game menu to access Better Cities' configuration options.
Optional - Better Cities Resources.ini
Provides out of game access to Better Cities’ configuration options. If the file is not installed, then Better Cities will use default options and you will not be able to change these (unless you use the mod LINK).
\00 Core\Docs\Edit
Our Credits, Changelog and the document you are reading are held in this folder.
\00 Core\Docs\Better Cities Patch or Replacer Readmes\Edit
Various readmes relating to our patches and replacers are held in this folder.
\00 Core\Docs\Readmes of Mods merged with Better Cities\Edit
Various original readmes from mods which have been integrated into BC are held in this folder.
\00 Core\OBSE\Plugins\Edit
Optional – Better Cities Helper.dll
Optional – Better Cities Helper.ini
Requires OBSE v20+ otherwise it will do absolutely nothing. These two files are an attempt to resolve the rare issue some gamers have where doors which Better Cities has disabled keep getting enabled again. This plugin checks which parts of Better Cities are installed and will only make changes in-game if you are using the parts of Better Cities which require it.
\01 Better Cities\Edit
If you use any one or more of the following files, do NOT use Better Cities Full.esp from the 01 Better Cities Full folder.
- Better Cities Anvil.esp
- Better Cities Bravil.esp
- Better Cities Bruma.esp
- Better Cities Cheydinhal.esp
- Better Cities Chorrol.esp
- Better Cities Leyawiin.esp
- Better Cities Skingrad.esp
Each of these overhauls only the single specific city as listed in the filename.
If you want to use every single city, then rather than use all these files, you could instead use the merged ESP from the 01 Better Cities Full folder.
\01 Better Cities Full\Edit
- Better Cities Full.esp
If you use the following file, do NOT use any of the files from the 01 Better Cities folder This ESP contains every one of the non-IC individual cities merged together.

If you use the following file, do NOT use any of the IC files from the 02 Better Imperial Districts folder.
- Better Imperial City.esp
This ESP contains every one of the individual IC District ESPs from the 02 Imperial Districts folder merged together.
\02 Better Imperial Districts\Edit
If you use any one or more of the following files, do NOT use Better Imperial City.esp from the 02 Better Imperial City Full folder
- Better Cities IC Arboretum.esp
- Better Cities IC Arcane University.esp
- Better Cities IC Arena.esp
- Better Cities IC Elven Gardens.esp
- Better Cities IC Green Emperor Way.esp
- Better Cities IC Market.esp
- Better Cities IC Prison.esp
- Better Cities IC Talos Plaza.esp
- Better Cities IC Temple.esp
- Better Cities IC Waterfront.esp
Each of these overhauls only the single specific District of the Imperial City (aka IC) as listed in the filename. These can be used in any combination, and as many or as few as desired.
If you want to use every single IC District, then rather than use all these files, you could instead use the merged ESP from the 01 Better Imperial City Full folder.
\06 FPS Patches\Edit
Optional - Better Imperial City FPS Patch.esp
Optional - Better Cities IC Waterfront FPS Patch.esp
ONLY use one of these, and only if you are using either Better Imperial City.esp or Better Cities IC Waterfront.esp.
These ESPs remove clutter and plants from the IC Waterfront District, in an attempt to improve FPS.
Do not install these unless you need them, as they detract from the intended appearance of the Waterfront.
\07 IC Imperial Isle\Edit
Optional - Better Cities - IC Imperial Isle.esp
This ESP adds the outer walls for the Aristocratic District to the Tamriel worldspace, raising the land height to match that found when within the district. The Arena District walls are extended to match the changes within the district. The aqueduct is added linking the Imperial Isle to the mainland, and the quest to restore the city’s water supply is enabled.
These edits are kept in a separate optional ESP so that if other mods conflict you can simply disable these changes without losing the actual city content.
You will need to run TES4LODGen to make the aqueduct Visible When Distant, otherwise it will just be cut off at the border of the furthest-loaded cell in your game.
\10 Cobl\Edit
Optional - Better Cities - COBL.esp
Requires Cobl Main.esm from another mod named Cobl - the game will not even start otherwise.
This is an integration file, not a patch, and is NOT required for compatibility. Some items added by BC are also found in Cobl, this ESP will tell the game to treat identical objects from each mod as the same, so they will stack together, and if a quest makes use of the item, then it won't matter which mod the items come from.
Also with this ESP, the wells added by BC to each city can be used as a source of drinking water if you use the survival parts of Cobl.
\10 Enhanced Economy\Edit
Optional - Better Cities - House Price Patch.esp
Requires Enhanced Economy.esp from another mod named Enhanced Economy - the game will not even start otherwise.
This is an integration file, not a patch, and is NOT required for compatibility. With this ESP, the cost of purchasing the Bravil Riverside Shack will increase to match the pricing scale of the five different “Enhanced Economy - House prices.esp” which come with Enhanced Economy.

Optional - Better Cities - MOBS.esp
Requires MOBS.esp from another mod named MOBS (Medieval Oblivion Equipment Balance System).

This is an integration file, not a patch, and is NOT required for compatibility. TIE marks various locations to interiors from the original game where if the player enters them, an NPC nearby will complain and ask you to move away (the same as when you trespass, but instead of affecting the entire interior, it might affect just the area behind the counter in a shop). This ESP marks similar locations to interiors from BC.
\20 Against the Zealots of the Nine\Edit

Requires the resources from the mod Clocks of Cyrodiil.
This is a replacer file, not a patch, and should only be installed if you are already using, or wish to install the mod Clocks of Cyrodiil, which makes edits to every city and every IC District, most of which conflict with BC. This replacer file moves clocks in each city and IC District so that they no longer conflict with BC.
