The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Castlevania Memories First Episode mod

Author: LordKarnak

Version: v1.0

Requirements: Only Skyrim
=============================================================

Note to users:

Every model, texture, or anything else used in this mod is only for the mod's needs. It cannot be counted as something that could play along
with Skyrim, like the armor or hair mods, for example, do, so please do not take anything from this mod into Skyrim. Alucard's clothes are
making an exception so if you would like to have Alucard's clothes as playable, you could send me a message at NexusForums.com to remake them
and upload them with or without his cape as a stand-alone armor mod.
=============================================================

Description:

This is finaly the first episode of the Castlevania Memories and contains the whole story until Garibaldi Temple. Germain calls us to fight
Dracula because there are no Belmonts left in this century to oppose him. He later finds that Shaft, a dark priest from Dracula's allies tries
to ressurect him within the body of Richter Belmont, one who should be away from Europe for a long trip. Now, it's up to you to stop him from
reviving the Lord of Castlevania.

Due to the mod's large file size, I couldn't get into this any more
areas as Skyrim has some limitations to the mod files. The story will be fully completed in the next episode.

*Events are from the original Castlevania series but they don't follow Konami's timeline. They are remixed into a new story with Castlevania-
Friendly background and many things that reminds the original games for PS2 and PSOne. That's why this mod is called Memories and not let's say
Curse of Darkness.*
=============================================================

Installation:

Extract the bsa archive, the esp and esm files and the video folder into your Skyrim Data Directory, usually found at:
C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\Steam Apps\Skyrim\Data
=============================================================

Uninstallation:

Delete the CastlevaniaMemoriesFirstEpisode.esm and CastlevaniaData.esp, the CastlevaniaData.bsa and the cutscenes from your video folder.

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

Known Bugs & Issues:

The places are in the CastlevaniaMemoriesFirstEpisode.esm master file format, so it MUST be loaded first, then the CastlevaniaData.esp should
follow.

There is an issue with the master file when I load it, it loads before the update.esm and the game is not running properly. Make sure to
check your load order, so that the Skyrim is first, then the Update, then everything else below the Update in whatever program
you're using for checking the load order, I use Wrye Smash for example.

Note that Skyrim's battle music is conflicting with Castlevania's music and they play together. If something like that happens, you could
lower the game's music bar(to hear Castlevania music) or the effects bar(to hear Skyrim's music) from your audio options inside the game.
