Credits & Usage*****************************************************************    INSTALLING THE PLUGIN*****************************************************************Manual Installation:This mod is packaged/archived with 7zip. Should one desire to usethis mod, an archive programme such as 7zip, Winrar, Winace, or Zip Genious should be used to extract/open the information/files herein.(Although, if you are reading this, then you already know how to do extract from archived files, so good for you  ).Once extracted/opened, just drag and drop the Data Files Folder onto the Morrowind folder in your C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks directory and they will go where they are meant to go (except the readme and ExtrasFolder). All the files are placed inside folders as marked (become familiarwith manual installations, your game will thank you for it). You will then be prompted to overwrite. Click yes/ok and the files should now beproperly installed.Files included in the Data Files folder of this mod:Data Files Folder->->Meshes Folder->-> "WARDRKF" Folder->->->All Pertinent Mesh Files->->-> "WARSDHE" folder->->->->All Pertinent Mesh Files->Textures Folder->->All Pertinent Texture Files->Westly_Presents_The_Sidhe_and_Darklings.esp->Westly_Presents_The_Sidhe_and_Darklings  README.txtIn addition to the regular "Data Files" folder, I have also included an EXTRAS folder.Inside the EXTRAS folder one will find alternate meshes for the Sidhe and Darkling (nvde male and female meshes).  This installs much like the initial manual installation (just drag and drop the Alternate "Data Files" into your game's Morrowind Folder; it will overwrite the previous Sidhe or Darkling underwear meshwith the nvde meshes provided).  Also in this folder are to options forthe Skin of the Sidhe (blue or green should one desire a different colour).  These intall the same way (just choose the skin that you like anddrop its "Data Files" folder inside into your game's Morrowind Folder; it will overwrite the previous Sidhe skin to the new choice).*****************************************************************    PLAYING THE PLUGIN*****************************************************************From the Morrowind Launcher, select Data Files and check the box next to Westly_Presents_Tang Mo_People of the Waters.esp (this is a playable race and armour file which requires Morrowind only for play, no expansions needed)This plugin adds:2 new better body playable races, the Sidhe and the Darklings5 female and 5 male Sidhe Heads4 female and 4 male Darkling HeadsMale and Female Vampire heads for both racesA large variety of hairs for each race and their respective sixesRace Descriptions:"The Sidhe (SHEE)"-Denizens of Meridia's Plane, the Sidhe , on occasion, venture from their sphere of light and energy to the world of Tamriel, donning a corporeal form in order to exist in the mortal realms.

Cloaking themselves in shadow, the Darkling weave in and out of mortal existence in an effort to increase the void, thus allowing Nocturnal's grasp tp reach beyond her shroud of night.  They bear her mark upon their body as a twisting entanglement of shadow and thorn; a remnant of the change from beast to dark servant to the Mistress of Night.Stats (Male and Female)STR-45INT-40WIL-35AGI-40SPD-40END-40PER-30LUC-40Skill Bonus-Acrobatics-10Athletics-5Illusion-5Shortblade-5Security-10Sneak-10Abilities/Powers/Spells-Glide(Spell)- Allows the spellcaster to jump to a great height andthen soar briefly (fortifys Jump, Athletics, Agility, with a Slowfall bonus)Flight(Spell) Allows the spellcaster to levitate with a slowfall bonus (shouldone climb too high)Shroud of Nocturnal (Power)- Gives the spellcaster brief resistances to the elementsand weapons at the cost of their healthHysterical Blindness (Power)- once cast causes the target to go blind and mad (whilst preventing the target from casting spells).

As such it will clip with other body styles (original bodies, smoother bodies, and so on).-These races are BB v2.2 race, so clothing types from some other mods or Smoother Bodies will clip with this body type (just so you know).-The hairs/Wings make use of alpha channelsto define their shape (by use of tranparency).  In some instances, when another mesh that makes use of transparencies (say a waterfall mesh)overlaps the meshes that use alphas in this mod, there might be a chance that the hair/Wings will temporarily dissappear ( this also applieswhen casting spells such as Chameleon or Invisibility).  This is a known issue, and is not specific to this mod (but in all mods that make use ofalpha channeled meshes [also, in any alpha channeled "stock" mesh too]).-Some of the longer hairstyles will clip with the body during certain animations. Without skinning/physiquing/weight-paintingthis is unaviodable, but worth the minor clip here and there for the character of your choice  .-The wings use the neck bodypart of the races; so using any armouror clothing that also uses the neck slot will cause the wings to temporarily disappear (removing the armour/clothing will allow the wings to reappear, so no worries).-The male Darkling nvde mesh is a "placeholder" ATM ('til I can cobble an asymetrical groin body part as the one used currently is not asymetric).*****************************************************************      Credits & Usage*****************************************************************Original face models by Rhedd, females and half of the males altered by Robert, in some instances, altered further by Westly.The Head meshes were then reworked by Dirnae in the flattening of the noses (so that their profile is slightly "alien")Original Hair meshes by Ren and Idkrr (with permission)Fairy Wing mesh by AnOldFriend (with modifications by Westly)Wing Animation by PhijamaBB v2.2 mesh by Psychodog StudiosAll Textures by WestlyThank you NifTools for NifSkopeThank you to the community for the continuing support.Thank you to AlienSlof for initally pointing me down the right paths when I first began making mods.Permissions = Feel free to use this mod as it exists in this archive (just do not re-upload or redistribute this as it is in this archive).

I'll post more screens when I have a bit more time (sorry about that ).

Very cool. Thanks a lot. I've always loved your races.

You know when a grown woman is sipping win and gets a little too excited and forgets her words because an awesome new race is out by one of her favorite modders - it sounds a little like an angry orangutang

Thanks Westly

Very pretty! Now you're tempting me to restart.

Very nice looking, Westly, I may have to start another new char because of this.

Thanks for the release.

Westly these are beautiful!
Love both of them, the white and the tattoed dark!
Now I'll need to find some neat armor for the Darklings, something leather/bones/geiger looking, I guess.

Wow, just WOW.

Nice as always Westly, very nice.

Thank you very much for sharing, Westly!!

I second everyone's opinion: Very well done.

I would like to report a bug though: There seems to be something wrong with the left wing of the Sidhes. When one looks at the hair of the Sidhe through the left wing, one does not see the hair but instead a bald head. Something must have gone wrong there. It is only with the left wing, too.

These are great races Westly, thank you for sharing them. And I also appreciate the backstory you made, tying both races into the lore.

Great job

That sounds like Morrowind's alpha channel bug, but it's really odd that it only happens with the left wing.

Aaaaah, these are so gorgeous! <333 Thank you Westly! As always, your works have more to them than what's visible on screens. When I started downloading I thought I will like the Sidhe more, but now after taking a closer look Im totally in love with Darklings. x3

unfortunately like Westly said the bug come from elsewhere.

I truly appreciate your help in trying to solve the issue, but that file did not fix the wings . AFAIK, the issue might have something to do with the direction of the faces in the mesh; else, even if it only appears to be happening in the left wing, it is most likely happening in the right wing as well (only in the reverse but is not noticable as that wing does not overlap the hair in that direction). I mention the issue with alpha channels in the Readme, as this is the price being paid for full alphas for nearly a decade now . I am able to overlook it, though (when I play, that is) so hopefully there are others that can do the same. If I can find an actual fix for this, though, you better believe that I will post the fixed mesh in a heartbeat .

Take Care, All; I hope you enjoy my little offerings as they come these days, however infrequent they may be .

Are you planning on adding some fairy armor, too?

wow, thanks a lot! Hopefully switching races midgame won't mess things up too bad.

Spectacular as always. Your "little" (little? ) offerings may be infrequent, but they always make my day. Thanks so much!

May I make german esps for this and the Saxhleel? This would be great as always

Infrequent? You release a lot more than I do. *grumbles at mental to-do list*


Anyways, I thought that I'd share my newest char, a Darkling named Az'ca Torhan-

I can't blame the Ordinator...

Certainly you may ; thank you for asking (I would have replied sooner but have been distracted by RL of late).

Thanks a lot for the screens, swrdphantom (perhaps the Ordinator was caught in a "say whaa?" moment)

Do you plan to upload this mod on http://download.fliggerty.com/download-127? If you do then we players can upload screenshots for you if RL takes all your time. Thanks for sharing Westly.

Well, I think I know what race I'll be playing as next. These look amazing!

Sorry Im late for the party xDD But I just wanted to say... Sidhe look SO amazingly great with your other mods, Westly. <3
