===================================
Overview
===================================
* Sacred 2 Enhanced Edition (S2EE) is the continuation of my work on older mods such as Enhanced Spells and the Community Patch, of which S2EE is meant to be the successor.
* S2EE contains hundreds of bugfixes, as well as numerous gameplay improvements that are not strictly fixes.
* S2EE is designed for the player to install the CORE module, then they may install some optional add-on modules.
* See the "S2 EE 3.2 Manual.pdf" for full list of modules and features.

===================================
Requirements and Compatibility
===================================
* This mod requires Sacred 2 + Ice & Blood expansion with the latest patch (2.65.02) installed (or simply Sacred 2 Gold).
* This mod additionally requires that Community Patch 1.60 be installed.
* No previous versions or components of Enhanced Edition should be installed.
* No mods that alter scripts will be compatible with S2EE unless explicitly notated as compatible with EE. This includes: Diablo 2 Fallen, Boss Arena, Age of Heroes, Survival Mod, Llama's Mod, Wardust's Mods, Dimitrius's Patch Addendum.
* Mods that are known to be compatible: Music Mods, Interface Mods, Main Menu Mods, Reduced Fog, Elite Textures (either official or the unofficial "trimmed" version), and simple texture mods like Eye mod or Grass mod.

===================================
Install Instructions
===================================
* Download the Generic Mod Enabler (GME) and install it to your Sacred 2 root folder.
** Mod Enabler is available at http://www.softpedia.com/get/Others/Miscellaneous/Generic-Mod-Enabler.shtml
** For Steam the root folder is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sacred 2 Gold
** For GOG or disk version, the root folder is wherever you installed the game, for example C:\Sacred 2 Gold
* After running the GME once, it will make a folder called "MODS" there.
* Extract/copy/move the contents of the compressed zip file into the "MODS" folder. There should be 9 folders (the Docs folder need not be placed in the MODS folder).
* S2EE contains one CORE module and seven optional add-on modules. You must install "S2 CORE EE 3.2 - Required" at the very least.
* Run the GME and enable the CORE module. The GME will back up your clean files and will allow to you to easily enable/disable the mod as you wish.
* - Optional - add-on modules should be installed afterward. Do not install any of the add-on modules without the CORE module installed first. Overwrite warnings are to be expected when you install the optional modules.
