Tempered Ironwork
for TESV Skyrim by LtParsons

Page on SkyrimNexus - http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2284
---------------------------------------

This mod adds iron, leather and other weapon and armor materials to "Steel Smithing" perk so items made out of them can be fully upgraded to Legendary and beyond,
renames this perk to "Basic Smithing" and fixes several items that have wrong, or none at all, material listed.
Also optionally changes some ore, ingots and smelting recipes.

Perk changes applies to every item that have listed Iron or leather as material in game files.

Best used with "Lost Art of the Blacksmith" mod - http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1020 - it adds missing recipes for some item upgrades.

If you discover bugs or some items, that can't be fully upgraded, send me a note, i'll try to fix them.

Enjoy!

---------------------------------------
Languages and Translation
---------------------------------------
For now, besides English, included optional Russian translation files.
If you want to install mod in some another language Skyrim, please message me, i will need strings in your language to make translation.
Or Just rename english strings file by replacing "English" part to use them, if you want.

---------------------------------------
Installation
---------------------------------------
Unpack, copy "Data" folder in "Steam/steamapps/common/Skyrim" folder and enable modules in launcher.
You can use only needed optional files - they are independent of each other and main file work without them.

Important:
if you upgrade from v2.0.2 or earlier, remove TemperedIronwork_Recast.esp file from "Skyrim/Data".
Also Skyrim will crash without mod localization files, so check that all strings files are in place (3 for Main file and 3 for Prospect if used).
For now there is only English and Russian strings, so mod wouldn't work on other Skyrim versions.

If "Data Files" option is grayed out in the launcher, do the following:
- open "Documents\My Games\Skyrim\SkyrimPrefs.ini" file in Notepad
- add line "bEnableFileSelection=1" (without quotes) after "[Launcher]" line and save the file
The "Data Files" option should now work in launcher again.

---------------------------------------
