************************************************************************
1. Installation
************************************************************************

BACK UP YOUR SAVED GAME AND MAKE SURE THERE IS NOTHING IN YOUR SADDLE BAG; YOU WILL MOST LIKELY LOSE ANYTHING IN THE BAG STILL.

To install the plug-in, simply extract the installer and choose which version you want either the menu or the non-menu.  The installer will then walk you through the next steps, make sure you choose your Oblivion\Data directory to install to.  

*Note: If you have the official horse armor mod, another program will pop-up as soon as the installer closes.  Run this program and it will update the horse armor mod for this to work.  You will probably have to point it to the file, in some cases it will find it itself.  You no longer need the saddlebag.esp or saddlebag_nomenu.esp files, just DLCHorseArmor.esp.*

************************************************************************
2. Playing The Plug-in
************************************************************************

From the Oblivion Launcher, select Data Files and check the box next to the Saddlebag.esp/Saddlebag_noMenu.esp file.

If you have the official horse armor mod: make sure you have it enabled in the Oblivion Launcher.  Disable any other version of Saddlebag you are using, you no longer need that file.  

************************************************************************
3. Save Games
************************************************************************

The plug-in should not invalidate your old saved games.

************************************************************************
4. Features
************************************************************************

Adds saddle bags to your mount.  It is a universal bag, meaning it will not change if you get a new horse.  It takes into account how much your horse can carry total.  Strength spells will allow it to carry more for a short time.  Will not work with the Unicorn or any stolen horses.

The included installer will let you choose which version of the mod you want, either the non-menu version or the menu version.  If you have the horse armor mod, please be sure to tell the installer by selecting the appropriate option.

Now includes a quest to improve your horse.  You can find the quest in the Chestnut Handy Stables right outside the Imperial City.
