     4. About this mod

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

What does the carnivore mod do?

This mod forces you to hunt creatures to live.
You only need to eat once every 4 days-if you completely fill yourself up.
If you don't eat for 9 days you will die. If you don't eat for a while you 
will suffer stat losses (after being warned once) but if you keep yourself 
fed you will have a 1 point restore health constant effect. 
If you eat enough for four days you will be 
very stuffed you'll be slow and less agile but have a 3 point restore health 
constant effect. This will go away at midnight of the next day. You can choose to rest it off
or try and fight on a full stomach.

Because this is a hunting mod it will also change all of the standard creatures to
be passive or flee from you. Only blighted creatures and creatures in the water 
will attack you on sight.

The plugin adds several new creatures, three species of deer, two kinds of rabbits
and a mountain goat to Solstheim. A few deer and some rabbits may be found in the Grazelands.
This plugin also attempts to "balance" the compliment of creatures according to ecological rules.
i.e. far fewer predatory creatures than herbivores. On Solstheim you'll notice
mostly, deer, frostboar, and rabbits. Wolves and bears are much more unusual.
On Vvardenfell you'll notice far fewer Kagouti and Alit than Guar, scribs or alits.
Daedra have been removed from the leveled lists of the grazelands and many other areas.
Small herds of Guar have been added around the grazelands and ashlands.
Leveled Creatures have been changed in almost all regions.

How/what can I eat?

As mentioned this is a mod for carnivores. This means every
biological creature can be eaten- except virtually all npcs (dreamers are the only exception). 
No daedra or undead can be eaten. 
You can eat fabricants since they are at least 
partly biological.  No eating dwemer centurions or anything like that since they are machines.

You eat a creature using an additional item added to the
inventory of all creatures. This item represents the meat from the creature 
It may be eaten by dropping it on the ground 
and picking it back up- you will receive a message box telling you how this food has affected your hunger status. 
The amount of meat dropped by a creature varies by the size of the creature.
The food value is also reflected in the weight of the meat or flesh.
These edible items are different from alchemical ingredients and will appear at the end of your inventory. 
Alchemical ingredients cannot be eaten this way and will not satisfy hunger.

Other info

If you become a vampire you won't need to eat meat anymore. I fixed the script so you won't die if
you go to jail, but you'll probably be hungry when you get out.

     5. Potential conflicts

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

Any mod that changes standard morrowind creatures (other creature pacifying mods) 
might cause problems and cause some creatures to not drop the necessary meat items.
