==================================
DESCRIPTION
==================================
This mod contains retextures of Luchaire's Neck Seam Concealers (original mod here: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=18669).  Using various stock and resource textures (Meo gets most of the credit there), and some of my own handiwork, I've made over 100 amulets.

There are both amulet-slot and tail-slot versions of each piece.  Items suffixed with *Amulet use the amulet slot, and items suffixed with *Pendant use the tail slot.

They are freely available on the dock outside Vilverin, organized into many chests.  They are additionally available in the TestingHall.  I would add them to a vendor, but there's just too many.

The original, unedited Neck Seam Concealers are NOT included with this mod, and the two mods do not conflict.

All resources have unique file paths, and all plugins have been cleaned with TES4Edit for best compatibility.

New this version:  I got really tired of the extra confirmation boxes to give these away at the vendor, so they are now worth a little money.  3 septims for copper or pewter, 5 septims for silver, and 10 septims for gold.  I guess the mudcrabs you must defeat at the dock are a fair fight for the value.


==================================
REQUIREMENTS
==================================
Requires the latest official Oblivion patch (1.2.0.416).
Requires OBSE if you use the optional plugin that dynamically distributes concealers to NPCs.
Shivering Isles is recommended, but not required.


==================================
INSTALLATION
==================================
This package contains alternate/optional files, and is structured as a BAIN-friendly archive to be installed manually or with Wrye Bash.  Other mod managers such as NMM cannot install this package correctly; however, you may re-structure the package yourself for use with your manager if you do not wish to install the mod manually.  The "Download With Manager" button at Nexus has been disabled to prevent installation errors.

Manual Installation:
1) Use 7zip to extract the archive you downloaded to a temporary location.
2) Copy the contents of the "Core Files (Required)" folder to your ..Oblivion\Data folder.  Click "Yes" to overwrite, if prompted.
3) If you don't have Shivering Isles, copy the contents of the "Alt Plugin - No Shivering Isles" to your ..Oblivion\Data folder.  You will be using this plugin instead of the one in the "Core Files (Required)" folder.  Click "Yes" to overwrite, if prompted.
4) If desired, choose ONE of the "Add to LL" options to get Neck Seam Concealers added to leveled lists, and copy the contents of that folder to your ..Oblivion\Data folder.  Click "Yes" to overwrite, if prompted.  Tail slot concealers don't work on beast races or companions.
5) If you would like female NPCs to wear Neck Seam Concealers and you have OBSE, copy the contents of the "Dynamically Distribute to NPCs" folder to your ..Oblivion\Data folder.  Click "Yes" to overwrite, if prompted.
6) Activate the plugin(s) in the launcher of your choice.

These plugins should go very early in your load order.  The optional plugins MUST load after "Neck Seam Concealers Expanded.esp".

==================================
COMPATIBILITY, BUGS & TROUBLESHOOTING
==================================
There are no known bugs.

This mod will conflict with any other mod that edits leveled lists unless you let Wrye Bash handle that for you, which you should be doing.  The leveled list plugins have been tagged "Relev" for your convenience.
