TES III - Morrowind

Pherim's Fire Fern Plant and Ingredient Replacer

v1.2

Description:
============
This mod replaces the meshes and textures of the Fire Fern plant and Fire Petal ingredient with completely new, more detailed ones. A new icon for the fire petal is also included, as well as meshes without petals for Graphic Herbalism. 

Installation:
=============
Simply copy the contents of the "00 Default Red" folder into the "Data Files" folder of your Morrowind installation and overwrite existing files. No .esp included, as this is a simple pluginless replacer.

Do the same for the "01 Graphic Herbalism" folder if you use the Graphic Herbalism mod.

To install the "Extra Fiery" or "Vanilla Colors" texture variants, first install "Default Red" and overwrite with the files from the corresponding folder.

Installation with BAIN via Wrye Mash is recommended.

Conflicts:
==========
All mods that change the meshes or textures of the Fire Fern plant or Fire Petal ingredient. Except the Leaf texture (tx_fire_fern_01.dds) all textures have new, unique names and  should not be overwritten by any other mods. tx_fire_fern_01 textures from other mods are possibly compatible, but not recommended. Equivanlently, the tx-fire_fern_01.dds from this mod is somewhat compatible with the vanilla meshes, but meant to be used with the included new ones.

Known Bugs:
===========
None
