Moonlight - Birthsigns of Morrowind - v1.04
_________________________________________________________________________________

"Welcome back, Outlander. What is it that you see when you gaze upon the Moonlight?"

Moonlight is designed as an Overhaul. The spirit of the vanilla constellations are retained, while expanding on them in creative and interesting ways. The power level of the birthsigns is on par with the very best of vanilla. All 27 birthsigns are mechanically powerful, thematically unique, and potentially playthrough-defining. They have been meticulously balanced relative to each other so that you are free to choose based on flavor and preference.


Aspects of the Moons
The Constellations have been expanded into 12 Aspects of Masser, 12 Aspects of Secunda, and 3 Aspects of the Serpent.
Aspects of Masser are a tame collection consisting entirely of passive bonuses, often having attribute boosts, and rarely having downsides.
Aspects of Secunda are a wild collection consisting of passives, spells, and powers, often having overpowered upsides offset by sizable downsides.
The Serpent defies the moons as it drifts through the night sky to siphon energies from the Guardian Constellations.


Moonlight is designed to pair well with its companion mod Reincarnate - Races of Morrowind
If you were planning on trying out a new playthrough, now is the time my friend!

Requirements
Morrowind

Installation
Download mod file
Use unzipping program like 7zip
Extract files into .../Morrowind/Data Files
Run the Morrowind Launcher
Enable Moonlight - Birthsigns of Morrowind.esp
Play Morrowind and enjoy your Moonlight Aspects!

New Game Required
Starting a new game is required. Race and Birthsign mods cannot be installed mid-playthrough, unfortunately. They can be updated mid-playthrough, so feel free to download updates as soon as they drop.

Compatibility
Compatible with everything except mods that change the vanilla birthsigns. Loading Moonlight after conflicting mods should let Moonlight work fine.
Moonlight mutes the 'Sound' spell sound effect so you aren't deafened by it. If you are manually installing mods, then let Moonlights sound files overwrite existing files. If using a mod manager, place Moonlight after conflicting sound mods in your mod order. load order doesn't matter in this case.
Optional Compatibility Version: You can instead download the optional file "Moonlight - Compatibility Version" which makes zero edits to the vanilla birthsigns, and thus can be loaded along side any other birthsign mod with no conflict issues!

Known Issues
No known issues. Mod is clean.

Recommended Mods

Reincarnate - Races of Morrowind
This is my race mod that is designed specifically to be used with Moonlight. Together, you will have a truly special character creation experience.

Morrowind Code Patch
Great to have regardless. I'd recommend enabling the feature that allows detect animal to also detect NPCs (game mechanics -> detect life spell variant). This will make the newly revamped Tower sign even better!

_________________________________________________________________________________

Other Birthsign Mods

I received varying amounts of inspiration from these mods, so I've gotta give them a shout out.

Sensible Races and Birthsigns
Expanded Birthsigns for Purists
Written in the Stars - a birthsign mod

I also have to give a huge shout out to two Skyrim mods that also served as inspiration.

Andromeda - Unique Standing Stones of Skyrim
Evenstar - Minimalistic Standing Stones of Skyrim
