CREDITS
Despite my best efforts, I could never get Institute paintings to work, and had pretty much given up, until VIitS fixed them, and made this mod actually do what it claimed to. Thank you VlitS!! Also thanks to Purfael, who was kind enough to give me permission to use his Institute Paintings mod before I saw the VlitS fix. If anyone wants JUST institute paintings, use his mod.
