All files have been renamed and added as new and unique objects. This means that any items in this mod that is used in other mods will not conflict in any way if the mods are all enabled. Known Issues or Bugs ==================== There is an enchanted test hammer in the street of the IC Market that is left-over when correcting the infamous NVidia blackscreen bug. Just consider it a freebie although the enchants are probably worthless.

As far as the changes I made, I don't mind what you do with it...all I ask in return is that you give me credit if you re-package this mod. I would also like to know what mods are including my work. As for all the mods that I included, you'll need to check the original sites noted in the Credits Section to see what level of permission is required. Please ask for my permission first before uploading this mod to distribution sites. If I do not reply within 4 weeks, you can upload this mod anywhere you want.
