2. Mod Description
*****************************************************************

A small community of shady individuals has set up a settlement on the shores southwest of Anvil at (-51, -8). Only 1 shop so far, but in that shop you can find a small quest and some interesting finds including:

Creeper Jim: A Fence who works outside the auspices of the Thieves Guild. In reality he pays them a cut of his skooma and herb profits for the "privalege" of buying stolen items from anyone.(*see disclaimer below)

Skooma Cooker: in case drinking Skooma wasnt strong enough, you can use this powerful cooker to freebase the skooma straight to your head for increased effects.

The Smoke Off: an old Ayleid text that has been discovered and made available only in this settlement. More than just a good read.

Weed Quest: Creeper Jim is out of weed! can you help him score some more?

5. Known Bugs/Issues
*****************************************************************

The Skooma Cooker is scripted to be harder to knock over, but it still sometimes does. If it gets knocked over, it has a tendancy (because it weighs over 1000lbs) to fall through the floor and reset itself.

Mods that add locations to the shores southwest of Anvil at (-51, -8) may conflict.

More buildings and NPC's are planned for the future, including a repeatable skooma running quest and other Shady activities. I plan to use this general area around Creeper Jim's Smoke shop for a 3-4 building community.
