*****************************************************************

1. Manual Installation

*****************************************************************

1. Unzip the contents of wyrmstooth.zip to your Skyrim Data folder. Below is a list
of the default Skyrim installation locations:

C:Program FilesSteamsteamappscommonskyrimdata

or for 64-bit Windows:

C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappscommonskyrimdata

2. Confirm you have the following files in your Skyrim Data folder:

Wyrmstooth.esp
Wyrmstooth.bsa

3. Run the Skyrim Launcher and make sure Wyrmstooth.esp appears in Data Files and has
a tick next to it.

4. Start the game.

5. To begin the quest, wait for Theodyn Bienne to find you or speak to Lurius Liore at the
Bannered Mare in Whiterun once you meet quest starting requirements.


*****************************************************************

2. Best Practice

*****************************************************************

- Keep a save from before you installed Wyrmstooth, just in case you need to roll back.
You should do this before installing any mod that contains script files.

- Document any changes you've made to any ini files, or backup any ini files you modify.
If you've made any lod z-fighting ini tweaks you may want to consider reversing them
as they are known to cause infinite load screens both on Wyrmstooth and in the vanilla
game.

- Always make sure Wyrmstooth is loaded AFTER the official DLC and unofficial patches.
When in doubt, load it as the last master file in your load list.

- If you cannot find any Wyrmstooth NPCs in the Bannered Mare in Whiterun, DO NOT use
the placeatme console command to create a copy of any Wyrmstooth actors. Follow the
steps in the Troubleshooting section to make sure you've successfully loaded the mod.

- If you do come across a problem, do not uninstall and reinstall Wyrmstooth. You're
likely going to compound your problem. Instead, see the Troubleshooting section below
for a solution or post a question on the Nexusmods or Steam forums.

- Do not keep multiple copies of Wyrmstooth files in the SkyrimData folder. You should
only have ONE Wyrmstooth.esp file and ONE Wyrmstooth.bsa file.
