=Shady Merchants=
This mod adds merchants the likes of Shady Sam to all cities.
Features:
- merchant inventories are reset every day (can be changed by editing the ini)
- merchants buy stolen goods
- merchants sell valuable and rare items, items of questionable origin and items useful for thieves and assasins
- items and their quantities are determined randomly by a script which is configurable by editing the ini file
- can detect some additional mods and use their items as well
- to survive outside the thieves guild the merchants have to be masters at what they do (master mercentile)
Features added by update 1.1:
- you can now order human blood, but only if you're a vampire and the merchant likes you
(due to the black market being unreliable, the bottles might not always arrive the next day)
- fixes human blood so the player can feed from it (only if the bottles have no script already attached)
- added a few new items that the merchants may sometimes sell
- improved item selection used for filling merchant inventories
Features added by update 1.2:
- added traps (enchanted remnants of the ayleids) and a few new items
- added options to the ini file that allow you to set what kind of items each merchant has in stock
(they still buy any kind of item, regardless of this setting)
- merchants are now specialized by default (this makes each a bit unique)
For a more detailed list of changes see changelog below.
Notes:
- all dialogue uses original voice files
- shady merchants might sometimes sell items otherwise not yet available at your level
Added (new) items:
* SPOILER WARNING >>
- knockback scrolls
- corpse removal scroll
- random short range teleportation scroll
- unfinished mages staff (as new item - so as to not mess with the MG quests)
- deadly poison (works similar to poisoned apples)
- sedatives (cause actor to drop unconscious and sleep)
- 5 potions that affect the player including Amnesia which makes the player forget the currently selected spell
- an enchanted arrow
- 10 types of traps (mines)
SPOILER WARNING *
=Traps=
Traps have two modes of activation you can choose from. They can activate on timer or by nearby actors.
The traps can be fastened to the surface or be left throwable.
Once setup they can be triggered by being bumped into, hit by a spell or an arrow.
When set to activate on actor presence they ignore anyone in the faction of the actor that setup the trap (player).
Setup traps can be deactivated.
Some of the functionality of the traps uses the placeatme command, but deletes the created items after use. So it should not create any bloat.
Traps that go off can set off other traps in the vicinity (within the blast range).
=Requirements=
OBSE v20 or above
=Compatibility=
This mod is not compatible with Open Cities or any similar mods. Should work with anyhing else that doesn't edit Shady Sam.
Will use some additional items from the following mods (if they are detected):

Mart's Monster Mod.esm (Mart's Monster Mod)

=Optional Files and Recomendations=
ShadySamWaterfrontPatch.esp
This simple patch moves Shady Sam to the Waterfront Passage created by Warmstar.
You can find the required mod here: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15188
For a better experience I would also suggest the following mods to be used in addition to the above one:
Enhanced Economy by TheNiceOne
=Install=
Extract the contents of the zip file to your Oblivion Data folder and activate Shady Merchants.esp. Load order doesn't matter.
=Update=
Overwrite all files, including the ini (to get new options in the file). Load any previous games with this mod disabled and save them then re-enable the mod. This is just to make sure nothing is left behind by the previous version of the mod that could mess with the current version.
=Uninstall=
Deactivate Shady Merchants.esp and delete it. You can also delete ShadyMerchants.ini from the ini folder and ShadyMerchants.bsa.

- added more items to the lists including scrolls
- added option to fix human blood and allow vampires to feed from it (only runs if no script effect already present, default enabled)
