1) INSTALLATION

- Get the two parts of the mod at Planet Elder Scrolls, if you don't you won't have all the files the mod 
needs to work properly.
- Unzip the two archives into your Data Files directory in "C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Morrowind"
- In the Morrowind launcher, check the box next to the esp file that comes with the mod.
- Launch the game.


2) DESCRIPTION

This mod adds a new shop, "the Crimson Wire", in Sadrith Mora. It places in the game most of the 
clothes I did in 2006. They are all designed for Better Bodies.
I mainly retextured existing meshes, but some meshes included in the mod are my own creations. The shop 
is next to Dirty Muriel's Cornerclub. There are two merchants : the Imperial sells male clothes and the 
Wood Elf sells female clothes. The shop is always open. 

Some of the clothes may not suit everyone's taste. Some of them look unreal, some don't fit the world of 
Morrowind well, and some may show too much skin for some people. These are my creations, made at first 
for my personal use. I am glad to share them, but if you don't like them, simply uninstall the mod and 
that's all :)

This is the English version of this mod. The French original version was released in November 2005 and is 
called "Le Fil Pourpre". 
This mod was cleaned with TESAME.

3) KNOWN ISSUES 

Don't try this mod without Better Bodies, it would be horrible from an esthetic point of view ! :D And 
some textures from Better Bodies are required for this mod to work. 

I strongly advise not to wear these clothes in combination with clothes from vanilla morrowind. You 
would probably have clipping issues, and/or some of my clothes may not even show up on your character 
while wearing clothes from vanilla morrowind. 

Some clothes may look strange under water (for instance, Elf Corail'greaves). This is impossible to fix.

On the paperdoll, most of the clothes will look strange, because the paperdoll doesn't render transparency. 
Once again, this is impossible to fix.

Some clothes are only meant to be worn by female characters, and vice versa. This is why there are two different 
merchants. Don't try to wear clothes not meant for your character, or you may have strange results :D. 

Enchanting these clothes isn't recommended. The shining effect will look very strange. 

Some of these clothes from my collection won't work together, and you will probably have to try a few 
combinations to find ones that work. There is nothing I can do about that, unfortunately.

The Leyawin shoes are racial scripted. The first time you'll try to equip them, they will automatically 
unequip. It is normal ! Try again and there will be no problem.
