IMPORTANT: AWAKENINGS SUPPORT... READ THIS!
=============================================
To make the mod work on awakening, you will have to edit
the Addins.xml file, located in "My Documents\Bioware\Dragon Age\Settings\Addins.xml" (do a search if you can't find it)

Open the file in notepad, and look for the line:

The addon gives you a stone that you can use to teleport to and from your own pocket plane from anywhere in the world giving you access to lots and lots of storage, merchants, an enchanter and some special stuff. You can control all your followers and even extend the plane with containers, NPCs and merchants of your choosing.<br><span class="wbbtab"></span> <br>The pocket plane features:<span class="wbbtab"></span> <br>- All sorts of different containers to store all the loot you can’t keep in your inventory. It features armor stands, weapons stand, a crafting material rack, several chests, … A magical chest (up to 4) that you can use as storage: it uses the same interface as merchants so you can sort your loot by type.<span class="wbbtab"></span><span class="wbbtab"></span><br>- The Keeper: a magical creature that has an UNLIMITED supply of ALL crafting materials (potions, poisons and traps) and sells some backpacks<span class="wbbtab"></span><span class="wbbtab"></span><span class="wbbtab"></span><span class="wbbtab"></span> <br>- The Tome of Secrets: a tome you can use to unlock ALL specializations, at no cost , can be disabled by INI setting<span class="wbbtab"></span><span class="wbbtab"></span><span class="wbbtab"></span> <br>- An enchanter for all your enchanting needs.<span class="wbbtab"></span><span class="wbbtab"></span><span class="wbbtab"></span><span class="wbbtab"></span><br>- Change your party at will while in the plane. And yes, when you teleport back your party is still changed. This is also useful when you want to equip or use abilities of followers not currently in your party while in the plane.<span class="wbbtab"></span> <br>- 3 additional merchants whose inventories can be controlled by 2DA files or you can just let them have random supplies<span class="wbbtab"></span><span class="wbbtab"></span><span class="wbbtab"></span> <br>- Almost everything in the plane is completely customizable by editing a few 2DA files!<span class="wbbtab"></span><span class="wbbtab"></span> <br>- Control the names and buy/sell rates of all merchants<span class="wbbtab"></span><span class="wbbtab"></span><span class="wbbtab"></span><span class="wbbtab"></span><br>- Optional “extension packages” that integrate the plane with other mods or add custom functionality to it.<span class="wbbtab"></span><span class="wbbtab"></span> <br><span class="wbbtab"></span><span class="wbbtab"></span><span class="wbbtab"></span><br>================================================================================<span class="wbbtab"></span> <br>IMPORTANT!<span class="wbbtab"></span> <br>DO NOT UPGRADE AN FROM 1.4.x TO VERSION 2.0 IN A GAME IN PROGRESS!<span class="wbbtab"></span><span class="wbbtab"></span> <br>YOU WILL LOSE ITEMS AND WILL NOT GET ALL UPDATES IF YOU DO SO!!!!<br><br>ALREADY HAVE THE MOD INSTALLED?<br>IF YOU WANT TO USE V2.0?
