Description
------------------
Makes pearl diving more exciting by adding nine new varieties of pearls to find in your submarine travels! Now when you open up various kollops you have a chance to find one of the 7 new qualities of pearls or 1 of 2 rare types. The qualities of pearls are: Grand, Flawless, Bright, Common, Dull, Flawed, and Defective. There is also a chance you will find two rare types of pearls: Black Pearls and Pink Pearls. The different types of pearls vary in size, value, and weight as well. So when you organize them on your shelves you will automatically have various sizes to look at. Happy Diving!

Also, now all of the pearls have unique icons for every type! So you can tell what type you found just by looking at it in your inventory. And there are three new textures: black and pink pearls have their own textures and then the rest of the textures use a new normal pearl texture made by Arkeyla.


NEW ADD-ON
------------------
Colored Pearls Add-On

This expansion to Pearls Enhanced brings up the total new pearl count to 44! The new colored pearls are all done by Arkeyla, I simply applied her textures to the mesh and placed them in the leveled list. The new shades you can find are Blue, Gold, Green, Purple, and Red. Each of the new colors vary in size, value, and weight like the pearls in the non-colored version. But in addition to those variations, the colored pearls also have slightly different alchemical properties from their non-colored counterparts and each other. I want to mention that these new colors are textured very subtely so even purists such as myself won't find them distracting. They are perfectly fit to rest on anyone's treasure shelf.


To do...
------------------
I would like to finish my new model and texture for the pearls. This will hopefully come in the next version.

Pearls enhanced conflicts with a lot of herbalism mods because they bypass the leveled lists and container menus. hollaajith's mod is an exception because it still shows the container menu while still including the picked models added by Graphic Herbalism. Therefore, I recommend using his mod with Pearls Enhanced because it is automatically compatible with PE; no patches necessary!


Changelog
------------------


1.00 Initial Release
1.10 Added new alchemical properties to pearls, but only on the fourth level. So you need to have a high alchemy to tap their full alchemical potential.
1.50 Adds all new icons and textures for the pearls. And Pink and Black Pearls are added too. Unique to this mod! Thanks to Arkeyla! Also, lowered likelyhood of finding pearls a little to balance.

2.00 Colored pearls optional .esp added! Now when you find Kollops you can find the nine new pearls in the previous version and beautiful colored pearls by Arkeyla. They come in Blue, Gold, Green, Purple, and Red shades. The new pearls all have varying qualities, varying sizes, each one with unique icons. Total new pearls is now 44! with this add-on..... I also Fixed leveled list %Chance in this version
2.05 Removed dirty GMSTs from 'Pearls Enhanced.esp', fixed bright purple pearl icon, removed extra space in flawed red pearl icon name, updated and fixed readme.
2.25 Now all of the colored pearls have unique alchemical properties too. I tried to make the properties fit with the colors and then also repeat throughout all pearls of that color.
2.30 Updated readme to be more comprehensive.
2.50 Fixed some typos in ReadMe document
2.75 In this version all the scripts on the pearls have been removed, so that they will actually stack in your inventory now. Instead of using scripts to alter sizes I have directly changed the source meshes so that when you set the pearls down they will still have all their unique sizes. In short, the only thing changed in this version is more meshes in exchange for no scripts!

3.00 Reworked pearl chances so that higher value pearls aren't as common. Changed chance of finding pearls from 45% to 70% to compensate for worthless pearl types being more common. Put mod resources into unique sub-directories. Optimized textures.

Are they shiny and reflection mapped,? I couldn't tell in the screenshots

No. This mod was made many years ago. And the art is mostly vanilla styled.

However, I do have a WIP model and texture replacer that I hope to update the mod with later.
