The Unofficial Oblivion Patch adds Gunder and Eyja to a small faction that owns Colovian Traders so that they can both open the door when they need to. For any mod to be totally compatible with this, it would need to have the UOP as a master, so most files that modify these characters forgo this, which breaks things.

Usually, this is where Wrye Bash's Bashed Patch comes in. The UOP is tagged Factions, so it usually overrides any plugins that would undo this change... Until it doesn't.

Not exactly common, but sometimes a mod loaded later with also change these characters, and also include other faction changes and the Factions tag. When this happens, Colovian Traders gets locked up forever.

But not anymore! This file contains a Bash Patch csv that is applied after all plugins and makes sure Gunder and Eyja are in the UOPColovianTraders faction no matter what.

To use:

• Install this file

• Rebuild Bashed Patch

• Under "Factions", check "UOP Colovian Traders Fix"

Currently, the only mod I know of that needs this is Oblivion Nouveau Uncut.
