📋 About This Mod
A somewhat reworked version from Oblivionuzer's original mod "Tavern-Goers" that populates the taverns around cyrodiil.
What does the redux do? I changed some AI packages from just standing or walking around to eating or sitting down, also NPCs are more likely to spawn now too.

Feel free to report any issues, I was quite tired when I made my modifications.

Permissions
===========
As the original author didn't state any permissions on the page of the original mod and hasn't been active since 2010, according to his profile, I decided to upload my modified version. If this is not okay or the original author returns and doesn't want this, I will put my version down as soon as I can.
