📋 About This Mod
Authentic Signs: Inns & Taverns
Version 1. 1 / 9 July 2004
Requires Morrowind only, but was constructed using TESCS patched to version 1. 6. 1820.
Description
This mod replaces the signs for the six Imperial taverns and inns found in Vvardenfell.
Each replacement sign is unique and reflects the name and location of the inn or tavern it represents.
The replacements are all higher resolution and better quality than the one original.
Most are the work of exceptional fantasy artists who have kindly granted permission for their artwork to appear in this mod (see Credits below).
Updates
Rebuilt the esp file so that the new signs are new references that replace the originals altogether, instead of just replacing the artwork for the original references.
This was necessary in order to make the mod compatable with other sign replacement mods that use this deeper method of replacement.
Thanks to Turjan on the official forums for raising this issue.
Important Notes:
For the changes in this mod to take place, it must appear earlier in the mod load order than other sign replacement mods that affect the same signs!
If you're upgrading from version 1. 0, you only need to add the new esp file to your Data Files folder and delete the old one.
Installation
The mod pack consists of only an .esp file and a .bsa file.
Copy both of these files to your 'Data Files' folder.
The default filepath for the 'Data Files' folder is:-
C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Morrowind\Data Files
You also need to update your "Morrowind.ini" file so that it lists the new .bsa archive file you have added.
To do this, double click the program 'BSAReg.exe' to run it and click 'Update' when prompted.
Now start the Morrowind Launcher and enable the mod by double clicking the name "Authentic Signs IT 1. 1.esp" in the 'Data Files' section.
Uninstallation
If you are not completely satisfied with this mod, for some reason ^_^, simply delete the files "Authentic Signs IT 1. 1.esp" and "Authentic Signs IT.bsa" from your 'Data Files' folder.
Then run 'BSAReg.exe' again to clear the .bsa archive entry from your 'Morrowind.ini' file.
Credits
This mod would not be possible without the wonderful artwork and community spirit of several talented fantasy artists.
If you enjoy their art, I encourage you to visit their online galleries and show them your own app
