-- Description --
Normally, in Skyrim, diseases are only described by their mechanical effects. However, I'd (and others as well) would like to know *what* the disease is doing to my character, which really isn't told by the game. If I were to do a LP of this game, I wouldn't know how I would have my character react to it, without looking up said disease on UESP or similar.

A modder known as Funsize_360 has made a mod that adds descriptions to the diseases in the vanilla game, using Morrowind descriptions when available (located at http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/6690), however, that mod does remove the mechanical description of the diseases. For me, that's still a problem, because I'd like to see the mechanical effects as well, so I know how to react when playing.

As a result, I created this mod as a continuation of Funsize's mod. What this mods does is add descriptions to the diseases in the vanilla game and the official DLCs, when available, and when I can get my hands on them. These descriptions retain information about the mechanical effects of the diseases, but also have a fluff description. This is really beneficial if you want to be really immersed into the game (or you are LPing it), as you would know how to react to whatever diseases you get.

-- Installation --
Install with your mod manager. This mod contains a installer for both NMM and Bash, so just follow the installer.

However, if for some specific reason you can't use a mod manager (maybe you are allergic to them), just copy either main file to your Skyrim data folder(usually under /steamapps/common/skyrim/Data), and depending on which DLCs you have, copy the appropriate plugins to the folder as well.

In the load order, Disease Descriptions and its plugins should go late in the order. Or, just use BOSS to sort the mod.

-- Uninstallation --
Simple. Just deactivate the mod. Or if you don't have a mod manager, remove Disease Descriptions*.esp, and the DLC plugins (which should begin with DD_) from the Skyrim data folder.

-- Compatibility --
Compatible with Realistic Needs and Diseases (just use the right version).
Incompatibile with anything that modifies the vanilla/DLC diseases in any way.
On a somewhat related note, I'm planning on making a description for the Sanies Lupinus disease introduced in Tales of Lycanthropy. Since no description of that disease exists in Morrowind or in ToL, I'll probably work on making one sometime soon.
