Are the changes made in this mod file direct copy overwrites, or are they done by patching?

Advice (to all modders): compatibility is important (only) as long as your mod's real purpose remains intact. If the price of compatibility (patching) is the risk that the mod's main point might be harmed in certain cases, stay with traditional overwriting. If your mod is a good mod, players will prefer it to certain other mods if it collides with some other mods. To sum up, don't let your main concept modified just for compatibility reasons.
 I'm speaking generally, and not about Enhanced Creatures. I'm sure aigleborne pays enough attention to the importance of what I've written above. -------------------- Mental harmony dispels the darkness.
