Actual Illegal Resting - MWSE

-> There's nothing to do, except configuring the MCM.
Installation:
-> Merge the "Data Files" folder inside the 7z archive with your own in Morrowind Folder (Or even better, use a mod organizer to do everything automatically for you).
Compatibility:

Requirements:
Known Issues:
