=======================================
1. SUMMARY
=======================================
This mod adds a snow bear cub to Socucius Ergalla of the C&E office in Seyda Neen that's for sale. The cub will follow and fight for you if you purchase its freedom. Note that the cub will not carry any of your crap - the only place it can hold things is its stomach and that's not very big.

=======================================
2. FEATURES
=======================================
The cub:

Levels with you when you sleep and grows accordingly.
Levitates and water walks when you do.
Features an improved companion script by Melian and will move aside when you walk through doors.
Can be given healing potions when it's hurt.
Will take your place if you ask it to.
Has a recall ring if it gets lost.

=======================================
3. REQUIREMENTS
=======================================
Bloodmoon only.

=======================================
4. INSTALLATION
=======================================
Copy the files in the Data Files folder into their respective folders:
Clean jac_bearcub.esp goes into the main Data Files folder (\Data Files\).
The sub-folder in the meshes folder go into the Data Files\meshes sub-folder.
The sub-folder in the texture sub-folder go into the Data Files\Textures sub-folder.
Select the Clean jac_bearcub.esp file in the Morrowind launcher to play.

You can read more information on how to install mods here: http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=106063&view=findpost&p=1772866

=======================================
5. Using the mod
=======================================
To purchase the cub, talk to the residents of Seyda Neen about the latest rumors, then talk to Socucius about purchasing it. Note that the cub costs 25 gold to purchase.

=======================================
6. KNOWN ISSUES
=======================================
When the cub grows over 1.0 in scale (after you've reached level 35), some of the animations may look strange. This is an engine issue and nothing I can change.

=======================================
7. USE IN OTHER MODS
=======================================
Feel free to use this in other mods, all I ask is that proper credit is given.

=======================================
8. UNINSTALLATION
=======================================
To properly uninstall this mod requires either using Wrye Mash's repair all function or the Morrowind Code Patch's saved game cleaner. This mod will likely invalidated your saved games unless you clean your save.

To uninstall:

1. Save the game and exit completely.
2. Load Wrye Mash and uncheck the mod.
3. Use the Repair All function to remove all traces of the mod.
4. Load your save and click past any errors, they won't show again.

If you are using the MCP, only follow step 1, but use the launcher or Wrye Mash to uncheck the mod. Load as normal and click past any errors.

=======================================

I love the fact that the bear grows in size as you progress. Very cool idea.
Thanks for the companion.

Hi Jac.

Very neat idea. Will the level scripting work with GCD-style leveling? That is, if I notice that I've gained a level and then sleep?

The bear will level whenever you do, whether it's through the vanilla system or GCD. Note that the bear does not level its stats based on yours, it only takes your actual level into account; so a level ten character using the regular leveling system will have the exact same bear that a level 10 character using GCD would have. I may add an option to have it level if asked, I had forgotten about doing that. :blush:
