     1. INSTALLING THE PLUGIN

*****************************************************************

Files Included in this Mod are:

Meshes Folder
Textures Folder
Icons Folder
Happy Holidays_Westly_2007.esp

To install, simply place the Meshes
folder,Textures folder, and .esp  
in your game's Data Files folder as they are (do
not take any files out of the 
existing folders as they are, else the mod will
not work properly)

If this is is too vague to be understood, then
there are hosts of tutorials
that explain the ins and outs of manual
installation.  Google, in this case, 
is a good friend indeed :D .

*****************************************************************

     2. PLAYING THE PLUGIN

*****************************************************************
Check off the Happy Holidays_Westly_2007.esp in
your Game's 
Launcher\Data Files menu.  If done correctly, then
you can now play 
the plugin

Procyon Nigilius in the Mage's Guild in Sadrith
Mora, Wolverine Hall has come 
into the ownership of a most wonderous and
mystical object; a crystal snow globe
that contains within a pocket dimension of snow
and ice.  There within the frozen
crystal one will find the hospitality of Holly and
Ivy's Holiday Shoppe: Weapons, 
Armours, and Gifts for all Occasions!

So basically this is a store mod just in time for
the holidays to deck out your character, 
home, or worldspace with the items obtained from
the three vendours inside the 
shoppe.

Holly- A high elf who sells various new
miscellanea for decorating one's home
imported from the workshops of master artisans of
the Summerset Isles

Ivy- A wood elf who sells imported bows from the
master fletchers of Valenwood, 
each with unique arrows that do specific magical
damages.  She also sells the 
Better Body padded armour sets (Burgandy and
Green).

Klaus, Master Woodsman- A powerful Nord and master
of the woodland realms.  He
will sell you various trees with which to decorate
your worldspace, as well as 
Woodsman Robe and Caps.

*Note, the Padded caps and Woodsman Caps have hair
attached (in four colours:
Snow, Gold, Cocoa, and Night).  This was an effort
to resolve the issue with
the original cap making the character appear bald
(and for the record, yes the 
cap now looks like something from Legend of Zelda,
so let it be known that I am 
aware of this and let it end there;) ).  Also,
there are two versions of the Cap, one 
without ears, and one with Wood Elf ears (as these
were made for my NPC).  I am sorry
that I did not make them for High Elves, Dark
Elves, and Orcs (so just imagine that 
their ears are tucked inside of the non-ears
version).

All of the miscellaneous items and trees have
position, scale,  and rotation scripts
attached so one can size and place them exactly
where one desires.  There is also
a Real-time rotation feature that, once activated,
will cause the selected item to 
rotate in real-time/constant rotation (looks very
nice on the pruchaseable crystals).

While this is a "Holiday" mod, I have done my best
to keep the items for sale as 
non-specific as possible so that they are not just
for use during the Holidays, but
all year in your Morrowind game.  In other words,
use the items whatever the season
might be and they will not be out of place.

     4. FAQ/Known Issues/Common Sense

*****************************************************************

-The trees, once placed/dropped are VERY large (as
big/tall as Bloodmoon's
Pines, but far wider).  Once they are dropped, use
thier positioning feature
to resize them and then position them where you
would like them to be.

-The bows, once purchased, must be dropped on the
ground and then picked up again 
to auto equip thier individual arrows (suggested
especially for the fisr time they 
are purchased).
