📋 About This Mod
Adds 26 women to bars all over Cyrodiil. You can marry them and send them to whatever house you want. They wander around the house eating and sleeping. Like the wives in Fable. The readme has most of the details but here\'s the basics: -Every race is represented. -Can have multiple wives. In the same house. -Once a day you can get a replenishing potion from them. -Use a spell to change their inventory (change what they\'re wearing). -2 spells, one for sending to any buyable house ingame, and another spell you can buy that will send them anywhere at all (for houses from other mods). Their AI packages will work anywhere. -Buy spells that will let you Sacrifice them for power (to increase either mana or strength) or to to turn them into a Vampire -I\'ve also added 7 men that you can marry. For either if you swing that way, or if you are a female character. -I\'ve changed the size of all the wives/husbands. Some are tall, some are short, ect. I do have to say that everything is either done through messageboxes or the messages at the top of the screen. I haven\'t learned how to do dialogue yet (next version maybe). I think it works out fairly nice though. I think that about sums it up. Like I said read the README. _____________________ Fixed a minor problem where multiple wives in the same house would stop and stare at each other.
