Mod Descripton: 

Physiqued Satchels by Fenrya. 
Ranger Outfit by Spirited Treasure.

=========================
I wanted to be able to use the satchels that men
get on their robes. I tried but I 
do not have the skills needed for physiquing and
such. 

Fenrya made the satchel mesh and physiqued it for
men and women.
He hunted down the in game default textures. I
made a shop called
"Leatherworks and more" and put it outside the
back gate in Ald-Ruhn.
I added a Ranger type outfit that I made myself.
One for women and one for men.
It has a shirt and boots to go with it.

The reason why there are so many in that closet is
because each one has a neck 
piece on it.. I have gone to the time consuming
task of properly assigning each 
race to these neck pieces. If you want to continue
rolling with our ball.. Feel 
Free! I only ask that you notify Fenrya or myself
of your intentions. =s=

To get to the shop simply walk out the back gate
of Ald-Ruhn. Or
coc "leatherworks and more" in your console.

**************************************
There are two versions of the satchel.. One set as
helmet, and one set as left 
pauldron.. The pauldron one is marked with P in
the name .. The helmet one 
has no mark.

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

There are some monsters in there so come prepared
to fight. They will 
not respawn so don't worry about that. There is a
note on the table for you
to read and an exquisite potion of chameleon on
the stoop if you don't think 
you are up to fighting the monsters.

================
Just fyi 
greater bonewalker in front room will charge you.
Ghost in living area , and two 
skeletons in bedroom area. Will also attack as
they see you. 

=====================

The outfits and the satchels are in a large closet
in the first area 
you enter.. (the only large closet in that
building, the others are sized down
to 50%) 

10 satchels for each race, of each kind. Helmet
and Pauldron. I've also
put these satchels on the leveled lists, in with
netch armor. So they should
appear in some merchants inventories, as well as
random loot stuff.

 Including beast races, also one for custom races.
 I don't know how these will work with non upright
beasts, but I am 
sick of mods that always leave the beasts out so I
put those in too.. Worth 
trying anyway. =shrug=

 The container capacitys are hugely maxed out. The
couches and Rocking
chair are also containers. I figure.. Can't sit
down, so might as well make them
useful for something. =g= 

The tub and basin are misc items. You can pick
them up
and move them. This also makes it possible for you
to feel like you are actually
having a shower when you are able to walk into the
tub and under the 
waterfalls I put in there.

If you have better beasts or somesuch.. You must
diddle their neck textures
in Niftexture, or Nifskope. I have set their neck
textures to the default ones.

Likewise with Custom Races.. I have set their
textures to the breton better body
ones.

Thusly if you don't have a custom race or any
better beast mod.. Then just don't
do anything at all.

===================
The house is meant to be lived in if you want..
I made it eye appealing to me. With all 4 windows
using pulsing soft blue
light to make them appear glowing. Inside and out.

Yes I know the outside does not exactly match the
inside. That can't be helped.

The inside is a copy and paste of Captain Carius
chambers in Fort Frostmoth.
With many changes by me.
===================================

=====================

I can't think of anything else. If I forgot you
please tell me so I can fix it!
Thanks to everyone. I could not have done it
without you. 

========================

Modders:
Consider this a resource. Do with it as you
please. Remembering the credits 
as stated above..

Please take the time to ask Westly if you want to
use his
textures for something other than these bags. He
made them specifically for the
bags.. 

=====================
A FINAL NOTE
In this long letter! =L= 
Westly has created 20 new textures for these bags.
I have placed them each one 
inside named folders. The main folder to view his
textures is called 

war_satchel

There is a picture with the descriptive name on
them so that you can decide 
which one to try. (I suggest keeping these handy
for changes at whim =g=) 
***IMPORTANT***
These textures must be numbered , for the
following reason:
Morrowind will use default textures since the
texture goes in the Textures file
loosely.. To avoid replacing all in game bag
textures, or being forced to 
have the default one on your satchel, if it isn't
your choice.. These new ones 
need to be numbered to make them different..
Thusly they can be dropped into the Textures
folder safely, and without 
changing the in game robe ones that I got this
idea from.

When you have decided which one of Westly's fine
textures to use for your bag.. 
simply drop those into your
Morrowind/datafiles/textures 
Loosely... Hopefully by naming each outside
folder, descriptively along with the
picture (Westly provided pic).. I have made your
choices a bit easier.

Enjoy!
