1. INSTALLING THE PLUGIN

*****************************************************************

To install the plugin, unzip the files into the Morrowind/Data Files
directory.

*****************************************************************

2. PLAYING THE PLUGIN

*****************************************************************

To use this mod check the box next to Oblivion Birthsigns for Morrowind.esp in the Data Files menu in the Morrowind launcher.

This mod alters the birthsigns in TES3:Morrowind to reflect the values for the same birthsign as found in TES4: Oblivion.

Each birthsign also has power(s) drawn from the "Birthsign Stones" (Stones related to the constellations that mark the zodiac of Tamriel) that can be found in TES4:Oblivion.

4. Save Games

*****************************************************************

This plugin should not invalidate your old saved games. If you remove the
plugin from a game already in progress, you will have to click through
all those error messages. However, you should be able to continue on afterward.

**Note: As a rule, you should backup all your saves before using this or any
other plugin, as a precaution against any strange error you might encounter.

*****************************************************************

5. Known Issues/Conflicts

*****************************************************************

This mod can potentially conflict with other mods which edit birthsigns.
To resolve, simply re-date the .esp file so that it loads after any birthsign editing mods.

With some versions of the game, there may be a glitch in the birthsign portion of the stat window, where abilities and spells conferred by the birthsign are listed under the powers label. This is only a glitch and will not affect gameplay.
