Brought to you by An_Old_Sock, the author of the in-development Moonpath Reborn, Moonpath to Elsweyr is enjoying regular updates for the first time in five years. With numerous bugs having been squashed, graphical quality vastly improved and a number of user complaints tended to. This is the most comprehensive Moonpath experience to date.
Requirements
This mod does not have any known dependencies other than the base game.
Permission to upload and carry on the legacy of this amazing mod was giving by the original author, muppetpuppet. Muppetpuppet's only request is that the mod and its assets remain Forever Free. That means you may not alter, or use assets included in Moonpath to Elsweyr for paid mods.
As this mod now includes a lot of my own original work I ask that you drop me a PM if you wish to use assets from, or modify files in, this mod. I strongly encourage modding of my stuff, I just like to know who is doing what with it. So don't be scared, I don't bite. Just drop me a PM and we can disccuss how I can support you. :)

Version 1.13
The following includes changes confirmed to be present in the upcoming v1.13, but may be removed prior to release if issues emerge.
Currently the ETA for v1.13 is by end of day on the 18th (UK time).
2k optimised textures included by default, with 1k optimised textures relegated to an optional download for those of us with potato computers.
Over 250 lines of tweaked and adjusted for better English & consistency.
Forest Spider poison nerfed by roughly 89%. Forest Spiders will no longer come equipped with an almost unresistable poison which paralyses you for nearly 30 seconds.
Crab Meat's effects now match its description.
Reordering of numerous dialog menus for consistency.
Item descriptions removed from those which would not normally have them in the vanilla game.
A number of location names edited for consistency.
Version 1.12
Version 1.12 is a Hotfix which solves the issue people were having with custom creatures suffering from mesh distortion.
While initially the problem was believed to be with Moonpath's custom skeletons in the end it turned out to be corrupted body meshes. Sadly the automated method I was using to convert the meshes was causing them to play poorly with the creature's skeleton. The solution was to convert them by hand (thankfully this didn't take too long).
v1.13 was been rolled back to v1.1/2 due to reports of CTDs post-release.
v1.14 will still be the next release, however larger changes planned for v1.14 will be pushed back to v1.15 due to priority changes.
Version 1.11
A Construction Kit bug meant npc face data, sounds and custom voice files were not being packaged into the BSA. I have manually built the BSA to ensure that these files are now present.
Fixed bug with dialog options not always appearing
Corrected voices folder name
Merged main BSA and Textures BSA into a single file. These will be seperated again in the next version.
The custom skeleton bug remains in this version, but should be fixed by the time v1.12 is released (ETA evening of the 17th, UK time)
Version 1.1
Renamed Voices folder to reflect plugin name changes (Moonpath.esp from Moonpath.esm).
This was a really dumb mistake, sorry everyone.
Version 1.0
++The initial release++
ESP & ESM converted to SSE in CK64.
Meshes & textures optimised for SSE.
ESP & ESM merged by hand using xEdit.
Changes from Unofficial Patch forwarded in xEdit.
Manual & automated error checking in xEdit.
Quick bug testing in game. QA testing is not my strong point.

This One Greets You
Moonpath to Elsweyr was one of the first quest mods ever released for Skyrim. Its origins dating back to before the original Creation Kit was even released. Despite Skyrim modding being in its infancy MuppetPuppet was able to bring Elsweyr to life in a way never before imagined.

It's Smell is Familiar
Moonpath to Elsweyr is an old mod, created over half a decade ago. Its development utilised a number of techniques no longer used today. This has resulted in a lot of bugs, or things which might seem strange to modern players. While some of these issues can and will be fixed with time, the process is much longer than it would otherwise be. So if you encounter bugs please let me know, providing as much information as possible.
Treacleman, author of Typo Patch - Moonpath to Elsweyr & JR's Immersive Start Patch (hosted here) I am incredibly grateful for being able to merge his mod into Moonpath SSE. Treacleman is actually a real life author of real life books (fancy bugger that he is). So if you're a fantasy or science fiction fan (lets face it, you are) make sure to check him out!
