| A Morrowind Mod, Version 1.0.2 |

Description |
-------------

This mod restores Grandfather Frost, Bethesda's original vision for what became
Uncle Sweetshare.

This is done in a very seamless way. A new cell, "Solstheim, Grandfather
Frost's Workshop," replaces Uncle Sweetshare's Workshop, with Grandfather Frost
in place of Uncle Sweetshare. Grandfather Frost's elvish assistant, Cingor, has
also been restored, in place of M'nashi. In addition, instances of the scroll
"The Song of Uncle Sweetshare" have been replaced by the original "The Song of
Grandfather Frost."

The Red Colovian Fur Helm has also been restored, now actually red in color (if
you used the console to acquire it in vanilla, it was yellow like the regular
Colovian Fur Helm). Dialogue entries have been updated as needed, along with
journal entries for the quest "The Moon Sugar Mystery," which now has you track
down Grandfather Frost and return his signature red helm.

Grandfather Frost is a Breton (unlike Uncle Sweetshare who was a Nord), which
is actually more consistent with vanilla dialogue - Jeleen says he saw a frail
old man who was clearly no Nord.

The voice greetings were somewhat of a problem, as there are no Breton voice
files with appropriate dialogue, but this has been addressed seamlessly. Those
of Uncle Sweetshare's voice lines that don't specifically mention Uncle
Sweetshare have been assigned to Grandfather Frost, with the most appropriate
of the old idle lines serving as his hello line.

He does sound like a Nord, not a Breton, but I think this voice is more
consistent with a jolly old man than the Breton voice anyway. He's also been
assigned Nord voice lines for attack and hit voices and so on, so his voice
will be consistent.

--------------
Installation |
--------------

Use a mod management tool such as Wrye Mash, or just copy the plugin and the
icons, meshes and textures directories (from the core sub-package, and from any
optional sub-packages you wish to install) to your Data Files directory and
select the mod in the Morrowind Launcher.

The optional sub-packages contain a higher-resolution texture based on
Intelligent Textures, and an alternate icon based on Alaisiagae's Ultimate Icon
Replacer. (The texture and icon in the core sub-package are based on vanilla
ones.)

---------------
Compatibility |
---------------

This mod should be compatible with almost everything. It modifies an exterior
Solstheim cell, so there might be conflicts with anything that radically alters
the Solstheim landscape, or moves it outright as in Anthology Solstheim or Tomb
of the Snow Prince. (There is now a compatibility version for TOTSP created by
RandomPal! If you use RandomPal's plugin don't forget you still need the mesh/
texture/icon from my archive.)

Uncle Sweetshare and his workshop are made inaccessible by this mod, so if any
other mod changes either, those changes will not appear in-game. Also expect
conflicts with any mod that affects the quest "The Moon Sugar Mystery."

This mod edits Bereditte Jastal, the merchant at Thirsk, to swap out the Uncle
Sweetshare scroll for the Grandfather Frost one. Any mod that edits him will
conflict, though the conflict will be pretty minor, and an object merger like
tes3merge should resolve it.

Credits |
---------

The optional "higher-res" texture for the Red Colovian Fur Helm is based on a
texture from Remiros' Intelligent Textures. It's just a recolor of IT's white
helm texture.

The optional alternate icon is based on the icon for the white helm from
Alaisiagae's Ultimate Icon Replacer (again, just a recolor).

You can use this however you want, but if you use the higher-res texture or
alternate icon (not the vanilla-based ones), be sure to credit Remiros and/or
Alaisiagae.
