This mod is compatible with any mod that does not directly alter Vivec's palace and bridge. Safe-to-use mods include Morrowind Rebirth, Dramatic Vivec, Versus Vivec, and Illuminated Palace of Vivec. Note that Distant Land currently cannot render animated objects, resulting in stationary planets and flameless domes from a distance.

IV. Installation and Removal:

To install, it's highly recommended to use a mod manager such as Mod Organizer 2 or Wrye Mash, make your life easier.

If you want to do it manually, read carefully the folder descriptions above and follows the options for the various palaces as depicted in the last mod image.

In general:
If you choose the Symmetric version stick to symmetric options
If you chose the Asymmetric version stick  to Asymmetric options
If you choose the untouched palace stick to the untouched options.

While this mod should not harm your game, always create a backup as a precaution.
