===============
1. DESCRIPTION
===============

A replacer for Almalexia that gives her some new, more realistic character models that are as true as I could make them to Bethesda's original concept. Also includes an Almalexia splash screen.

===============
2. Requirements
===============

Since Almalexia only appears in Tribunal, you will need Tribunal to see the effects of this mod - but you knew that. I also recommend Alaisiagae's Splash Screen Addon, since the splash screen included with this mod is Tribunal-style, and would look less jarring if there were other Tribunal-style splash screens that popped up now and then. :)

========================
3. INSTALLING THE PLUGIN
========================

Extract the .rar to your Morrowind/Data Files directory. All .nif files should end up in Meshes/R, all .dds files should end up in Textures/bb_alma, and the .tga should end up in Splash. I have included an alternative eye texture with round pupils instead of the slit pupils I made as a default; if you want to sue them, copy the file in "Alternate Eye Texture" over the same-named file in Textures/bb_alma and she will have normal eyes.

=====================
4. PLAYING THE PLUGIN
=====================

This is a pluginless replacer - to see its effects, you need only to install it, and the game will see it automatically. The only possible exception is if somehow a newer-dated version of the Bethesda almelexia.nif files ended up in a .bsa, in which case the game would see them instead, but this seems unlikely.

===============
5. SAVE GAMES
===============

There is no effect on save games with this mod, as it is a simple graphical replacer.

============================
6. CONFLICTS / KNOWN ERRORS
============================

As there is no .esp, there are also no conflicts with any other mods that alter Almalexia. I have noticed some clipping during her speech at the Clockwork City, but this seems minor enough.

================================

==========================
8. CONTACT AND INFORMATION
==========================

I prefer to be contacted via PM on the official Bethesda forums - my username there is Plangkye. If this is impossible, I may be emailed at hplockhart@verizon.net; if you do this please indicate in the subject that the message is about Morrowind.

=========================
9. LEGAL STUFF/ DISCLAIMER
=========================

If you want to use my work in your own mod, please credit me ('my work' being the hair model, texture work on the outfit and face, and the tattoos on the skin), though aside from a playable Almalexia race or Almalexia companion I have no idea how you could use them. Please do not upload my work to any mod download sites unaltered; I will take care of that myself.
