Modern Adventurer - Skyrim Commemorative Edition

Playing:
The Modern Adventurer books can be found on vendors around Skyrim, as well as at the office in Falkreath. All quests added are triggered by first reading one of the two added issues.

Notes:
The MA books are formatted using default fonts and sizes. While custom fonts will still work, the formatting is not guaranteed to look correct.
This mod does modify several default leveled lists in order to add the books to vendors. Make sure you have a merged patch that includes leveled lists.
Also minor modifications were made to Falkreath to place the office building. May not be compatible with other mods that modify Falkreath. This includes deleting some default navmeshes in FalkReathExterior04 and 06 to prevent NPCs from pathing into the building. This is intentional

Version 1.1 Update
- Due to feedback this mod now contains two separate ESP files. Falkreath is the original location in the city of Falkreath. The new location is north-east of Lake Ilinalta (-3,-7). Both are identical except for the location of the Modern Adventurer office's location.
- Added two more "Breaking News" articles "Prisoner" and "Hoax"
- Four new Apocrypha are available for purchase in the MA Office. These were written by Dr. NightStone and Nazz
- Added several in character hints to the Coffer map. These should provide additional assistance to finding the Coffer
- There are now two new ways to translate the Singed Note. If you know more 40 or more Dragon Words it will be translated automatically. You can also speak with Dr. Umbarybal and he will help you as well.
- New dialogue relating to the above items.

Installing 1.1
-If you are using a mod manager that supports FOMOD installers then you will get the option to choose either the original or the new location for the office. The "Falkreath" selection will install the esp where the office is located in it's original spot within the city of Falkreath. The "Ilinalta" selection will install the esp where the office is located north-east of Lake Ilinalta (-3,-7) which should have far fewer conflicts than the version in Falkreath.
-If you are doing it manually then take the MA_Skyrim.esp from either the "Falkreath" or "Ilinalta" folder and copy it into your Data folder. Which one you choose depends on where you want the office to be. Then take the Docs folder and MA_Skyrim.bsa from the "Core" folder and also place that in your Data folder
