Mod name: Artisan Tribute Manor
Version # 1.0

1. What this mod is
===============================================================================
This mod is 1st a house mod and 2nd a tribute to the many great artisans who
have given the modding community the resources to make a mod such as this.
It came about as I was thinking about what great resources were out there that
I would like to see in the game and Antare's daedric portals resource became
the seed of an idea as to how to set about doing just that.

Unlike most house mods, this mod is constructed mostly of interior cells. Two
reason for that are 1: Most resources available are for interior cells, i.e.
paintings, furniture, etc and 2: it causes less conflict with the hundreds of
other house mods out there. There are a few exterior structures, but hopefully
I placed them in locations that will not conflict with any other modders work.
To also help avoid conflicts, pretty much all the meshes and textures have
been renamed, in most cases by replacing the tx_ at the beginning with hm_.
Some mesh names were changed to shorten the name and keep them under the
32bit limit, but whenever possible I just added the hm_ in front of the name.

This is a simple (well sort of) house mod for the beginning player or anyone
who wants a place to store all their treasures and call home. A note can be
found on the table in the Census and Excise office, above the dagger note.
Follow the directions on the note to the first room you should visit. You can
read the book or simply start exploring, but I suggest you give the book a
once over. As an added bonus for you people who like to play as evil or
Vampire characters, the latest in beautyrest coffins can be found in the Crypt

I am not good at making quests or creatures or characters, so there are no
new NPCs, creatures or quests in this mod. If someone has an idea for a quest,
I would welcome it if they also would do the scripting and characters. Also I
do not play my game with BTB Morrowind, Children of Morrowind, Necessities of
Morrowind or any of the Alchemy mods, so this mod is not made compatible with
them, but should also not conflict with any of them. If anyone does find an
issue with those mods, please let me know so that I may correct it as soon as
possible. Also, I made no compatibility with Tamriel Rebuilt as it is still a
work in progress and more is being added to it all the time.

Since the previous owner left and took most everything, (read the book) you
will not find any a new armor except the pieces found in a chest in the
Portal room. These were done with standard Bethesda meshes and textures,
modifying the textures to get the final results. Only 3 weapons, a knife, axe
and rapier have been added and you will have to find them. A clue as to where
to look is hinted at, sort of, in the book (read the book).

This mod has been cleaned with Enchanted Editor. I will admit there are some
spelling errors in the ID names, but it was just easier to leave those in then
to redo the item just because of a spelling mistake. Example: I spelled bonsai
for one of the ID's as bonzai. Most other errors in spelling should be
corrected already and my tester has not reported any errors to me. If someone
does find any, besides the ID name, please let me know.

==============================================================================
2. Requirements
==============================================================================
Morrowind v. 1.61820 with Bloodmoon and Tribunal Expansions

==============================================================================
3. How to install/uninstall
==============================================================================
It is best to unzip the file to a temp location and then just copy paste the
Data Files folder to your Morrowind folderin the game directory. Answer Yes to
any overwrite questions, which will mostly be folder names and some of Qarl's
textures, the first time you load it. Tick the Artisan Tribute Manor esp and
enjoy exploring your new abode.

To uninstall, delete the "hm" folders from the Meshes and Icons directories,
delete all textures beginning with hm_ from the Textures and Bookart
directories and delete the Artisan Tribute Manor from the Data Files directory

free textures were used with websites or authors listed, if available rug
textures found at Free3DTextures, 3DLandNet and NetChannel stained glass
found at flickr and other various websites during search for free textures
