New Features of 3.5.5
------------------------
What release of MMM would be complete without innovative new features? New features in MMM 3.5.5 include:

:: 3.5.5 Foxes, Rabbits, Mudcrabs, New Ogre's, Pahmer, Bats
4 Foxes have been added to game these are shy creatures..
6 Rabbits types can be found mixed among deer spawn now's..
4 New Mudcrabs will be found by the water..
New Ogre Nif that increase fps..Beware of High level Yellow Belly
New Pahmer fix for missing face and hair
Bats 4 types to be found mixed in leveled list

:: Goblins ::
Rusty Weapons and Armor: Goblins can now pull from the pool of MMM's unique rusty weapons and armor sets -- you'll see them wielding dozens of rusted weapon variants in addition to their usual kit.

New Ingredients: Goblin Hearts and Goblin Eyes -- thanks to Luis for the textures and icons!

Blood: Goblins now bleed green blood... (more on this below)

:: Creature Features ::
Goblin Assassin: The damage bug is fixed and, further, the Assassin can now critically strike any foe it faces, not just the player -- watch them tear up Adventurers!

Additionally, the Assassin's strike ability is based on the target's Agility -- so the higher your agility, the less likely you are to be hit by the Critical Strike (afterall stealthy players, just like Assasssins, know how to fight their own.)

Ghostly Apparition: The fatigue bug is fixed and, further, the length of time you remain knocked out by the Apparition's fear attack is now dependent on your Willpower -- new players could stay down and vulnerable for around 30 seconds, while a player with 100 Willpower would barely stagger when hit by the Apparition.

Patriarchs/Matriatchs: Can now Roar and induce fear in all the NPCs it faces in a given radius. Watch NPCs flee in terror from the grandaddy daedra of them all!

:: Wounding - Revised in 3.5.5 ::
No more can an NPC swing his sword at you with full strength while on 1 hitpoint, or flee from you at full speed while dying!

MMM has actually implemented a wounding since version 1.2 (!) but was relegated to NPCs, and only a few stats. MMM 3.x now adds wounding penalties to almost all NPCs and creatures in the game and impacts Strength, Agility, Athletics, Speed, Fatigue and Attack and Defence bonuses.

Wounded enemies now:
* Attack and swing slower
* Move and run slower
* Inflict less damage
* Take more damage
Wounding penalities are applied in three stages, with each stage getting progressively worse -- an NPC on less than 15% health has his abilities reduced to 20-40% of their original values. Additionally, they physically do less damage regardless of weapon, and being wounded are unable to defend themselves as well and so take more damage.

Submission: While the stat penalties are applied at as each wound level is reached, the Fatigue penality is applied with each hit. The more wounded they are, the more fatigue they lose from your strikes. This means they automatically get to swing less frequently, and do less damage as well -- fights should tire an enemy. And, for the first time, you can actually beat enemies into submission without actually killing them when their fatigue hits zero -- fast, low-damage weapons can now be more effective for stealthy chars, and hand to hand combat allows you to knock enemies out before delivering a killing blow.

Balance: Naturally, this is going to make some fights easier -- and help balance those times when you have hectic spawns, so I'm keen to hear feedback. It's already been quite finely tuned -- different creatures and NPCs receive different levels of penalties, and the penalties don't apply to Bosses (who should be super-tough) or Guards (who are frequently outnumbered as it is).

Additionally, wounding allows you to be more strategic -- there's benefit now in taking out the wounded enemies first. And because wounded enemies deal less damage, you can last longer in fights with large groups. And on that note, how can you tell which enemies are wounded? Glad you asked!

:: Wounding Effects Revised 3.5.5::
Blood: NPCs and creatures now bleed, getting progressively worse the more wounded they become. It's quite a sight seeing a blood soaked Guard fighting for his life vs blood-stained Daedra! The blood textures are courtesy of dDefinder, and then tweaked for effect -- including the creation of new green blood textures and green blood spray for the goblins.

Blood Spurts: When NPCs and creatures reach the highest wound level, they will start to randomly spurt blood...

Staggering: NPCs and creatures now have a chance of staggering or tripping while wounded, wether fighting or running for their lives. The more wounded they are, the greater the chance. Stronger enemies with higher endurance stagger less often. Staggering adds a lot to the game -- and combined with the wounding penalties, you can see things like:
* A fleeing, bloodied, NPC fall and trip over, pick himself up, and continue to run
* A wounded NPC swing and miss in a fight, falling over to then pick himself up again
* A staggering NPC fall to the ground and, while getting up, is delt a killing blow
* A deer shot by a hunter bleed from the arrow, and tripping over itself when it tries to flee -- like a nature documentary!
Both Wounding and Wounding Effects have been subtly balanced and applied -- Daedra for example won't stagger, but will get weaker and will bleed (except Antronachs, where bleeding wouldn't make sense). Guards can stagger and bleed, but won't get weaker (there's enough complaints about weak guards). Generic NPCs can get weaker, bleed, and stagger but NPC bosses will only bleed and stagger, and so on. It's literally been an invidiual touch applying this to all of MMM's new creatures and NPCs as well changes to vanilla creatures and NPCs.

No Blood: Don't like it? Load the new No Blood plugin.

New Creatures and Npcs
------------------------
And as usual for an MMM update, a range of lovingly crafted creatures with unique stats, abilities, behavioural AI, loot drops, backstory and more:

:: Reavers Revised 3.5.5::
Reavers are an entirely new NPC race, and live up to their namesake. They care not for sides or noble blood or factions of any kind -- their only agenda is their own. They will attack the player, bandits, mauarders, daedera, dremora, everyone. And they'll usually win. Twisted from hundreds of years of basic, animal instincts, they have forged themselves vicious weapons and are the most feared race that walks the ground in Cyrodiil. If you can kill one, your reward will be the potent weapons they carry. Be warned, they can travel in packs, and sometimes bring with them their own trained hunting companions, the Reaver Blood Hounds.

Reavers are based loosely on the concept of the same from Serenity, for those who pick the name Armor and weapons were designed by the talented demoncleaner -- there are 15 unique new Reaver weapons, as well as armor, shields, and special face masks.

Note: these guys are so tough you won't even start seeing them until Level 20, and you won't want to even consider taking one on until you're level 25.

:: Beholdens ::
Well, how long have you waited for Beholders in Oblivion? Thanks to some amazing work from xilverbulet, now they are here!

Beholden: Floating, tentacled, and ugly -- just what you want to meet in a dark corridor. Beholdens can be found in dungeons and Oblivion realms, are highly magical and come with a wide range of spell attacks from paralysis to drain to direct damage, and drop a new unique and potent ingredient: Eye of the Beholden. They also have their own set of resistances, and weaknesses -- if you can't beat them with magic, try a sword.

Beholden Hatchling: A young form of the Beholden, it's every bit as nasty with its own spell repetoire and a hunger for enjoying tasty new delacacies of the world, like you.

Beholden Firey Eye: The Beholden Boss, and excelling in destructive fire magic, meeting him is usually a one way ticket. Hint: you can't fight fire with fire, so try something cold.

Ethereal Beholden: Ever see Big Trouble in Little China? This special beholden acts in a similar way -- it does no damage, other creatures will ignore it, and you can't fight it. Instead, when it detects an intruder (like you) it'll fly up close to confirm -- and then promptly alert all creatures and NPCs within a wide radius to your presence with a scream before disappearing. It's quite a sight to see an entire dungeon descend on the player all at once...

:: Fiends ::
Like Beholdens, Fiends are classed as Daedra and can be found in dungeons and Oblivion realms. They are born of perverse magic bound around the basic elements in swamp and tar pits, and abhor life in all its forms. They come in two varieties:

Slime Fiends: They may not be particularly fast, and you need to use this to your advantage -- the Slime Fiend can paralyse as well as drain skills and abilities at touch with a unique Slime Touch.

Tar Fiends: Tar fiends are related, but less potent. Able to cast a high level burden at touch, they can bring most creatures to their knees quickly, making them easy fodder for nearby allies.

All fiends are immune to disease and poison, and are able to partially abosrb spells. They also drop a new unique ingredient: Fiend Essence.

:: Slimes ::
Slimes are a creature I've wanted to do since starting MMM -- they are unique in that when you kill one there's a good chance that, instead of dying, it will 'split' into smaller slimes, and you get to fight these next. The chance of a slime splitting varies, but there are two levels depending on the size of the slime. Like the Beholdens and Fiends, the Slime models and textures come courtesy of xilverbulet!

Slimes: There are three sizes -- Giant, Normal, and Small -- and three varieties -- Flesh, Metallic, and Mucas (eww!). All slimes have AI pacakges to hunt for and pick up whatever junk is lying around -- weapons, armor, food, etc. When you kill them, there's a chance you can find this loot or, alternatively, they may split into the next slime level down. For example:
Normal Slimes --> Small Slimes
Giant Slimes --> Normal Slimes --> Small Slimes
Slimes can be found in dungeons and caves, and are special in that most creatures will ignore them. Naturally, they are immune to poison and disease, and can even breathe and move underwater (so don't think you can escape that way). However, by their nature, they are vulnerable to fire and frost. Finally, all slimes drop a new unique ingredient as well: Slime Juice.
:: Undead Overhaul ::

Have you ever thought it strange these these ancient undead, with their old and battered skeletons, somehow have brand spanking new weapons? Yeah, me too So MMM changes all this. This release of totally revamps the undead, adding:
* 66 rusted MOBS balanced weapon variants
* 30 rusted armor variants
(This is actually just part of the overhaul, focusing mainly on weapons. New types of armors will be coming in the next release.)

These are used by both the undead skeletons and the MMM Undead Legions. The weapons cover iron and steel forms of every weapon, and the armor includes helments and shields. Additionally, previously skeletons only used a select few one-handed weapons -- now they can wield the full variety. Further, the weapons gradually 'fade out' as you encounter higher and higher level skeletons, and the same goes for power -- Hero Skeletons for wont' carry daggers, for example.

However, to spice things up -- there's a 1 in 10 chance an undead will wield a 'new' weapon, instead, pulled from the loot tables. Afterall, you wouldn't be the first foolish adventurer to try your luck in the dungeons, giving them a source of weapons. This makes seeing such weapons rare and thus far more interesting and valuable when you come across them.

Additionally, MMM already sports 44 unqiue skeleton variants you can fight, each with a different combat style, and 36 different Undead Legions. These already use some 27 different combinations of armor and skins (see the Diverse Creature Skins Plugin). Now, when you add the new armor and weapons variants you literally get over 2000 variants of undead you can meet!

But wait, there's more! (old joke from Aussie land) -- there's also a new Undead Boss: the Arch Undead Elven Lord, with custom-made textures and which -- like the dual-wielding Undead Elven Lord -- sports a unique weapon the player can pick up an use -- the Bone Claymore. See the Creature Section below for more.

Finally, Zombies have also had an overhaul, but that's so big it needs its own entry, next:

:: Zombie Overhaul ::
100 new race-based zombies can be encountered, incuding Imperial, Dark Elf, Argonian, Orc, and Khajitt of both sexes. They may be naked, wearing rags, or armor -- all of these have been custom-made to be 'decayed', 'battered', or 'rusted' to suit their zombie nature. In fact, you will see Zombie 'prisoners' with rags and wrist irons just as your character started with, and you'll see also see what happens to all those Arena hopefuls who end up spilling blood in the sand...

The zombies can fight with their hands, or wield all manner of weapons, some pulled from the 'rusted' set above. They drop a sub-set of normal NPC loot, indicating some are not too recently dead. Finally, there are two very special additions:
* Undead Zombie Imperal Guard -- Yes! This is something I've always wanted to add to MMM. These guys wear decayed and battered Imperal Legion armor (and yes, player wearable) as well as wield a dulled, rusted Silver Longsword. Unlike the alive Imperial Legions... these guys aren't here to help you!

* Shivering Zombie Master -- A unique zombie boss with specialised zombie textures and custom-made glass armor -- Cuirass and Greaves of the Walking Dead. Additionally, he wields a potent ice-flaming sword, the magical Shivering Sword. Grab it for yourself, if you can...

:: Adventurer Overhaul ::
The Adventuers in MMM have undergone an overhaul also, with 20 new NPCs and four new mage classes, bringing the total to 55 different Adventurers you can meet and include everything from from Scouts and Bards through to Plunderers, Tomb Raiders, and Warriors.

Additionally equipped armors have been split into Light and Heavy for the various classes, there's a greatly reduced chance of carrying magical items, greatly expanded personality/background loot drops, and stealthier classes now sneak while looting. Finally the two biggest changes include: Adventurers now can loot chests from both OOO and Frans and, best of all -- you can now find them in Oblivion too, in larger numbers than in dungeons and ruins. Like you, they're risking an assualt into Oblivion itself.

Naturally, if you don't like the competition there is a new plugin to disable the Adventurers

:: Gems & Gem Dust Revised 3.5.5 ::
An excellent plugin first built by Martigen, then expanded upon by Bendiwolf, and then Dewshine has taken it to the next level , 3.5.3 by Bendiwolf, ShadowBorn . In the words of Dewshine:

There are now Rose Garnets, Flawed Rose Garnets, Flawless Rose Garnets, Perfect Rose Garnets, and Rose Garnets shards. The first four can be ground into Garnet dust. There are also the Watermelon Tourmalines, Flawed Watermelon Tourmalines, Flawless Watermelon Tourmalines, Perfect Watermelon Tourmalines, and Watermelon Tourmalines shards. The first four can be ground into Tourmaline dust. Each new stone has a unique icon.

Additionally, there's a new gem type: Paraiba Tourmaline. Included is Paraiba Tourmalines, Flawed Paraiba Tourmalines, Flawless Paraiba Tourmalines, Perfect Paraiba Tourmalines, and Paraiba Tourmaline shards.

Finally some meshes and textures were missing in the previous release, these have all been corrected and, where appropriate, new icons made.

:: Crafting Overhaul Revised 3.5.5 ::
All crafting has been entirely split out into a new plugin -- Hunting & Crafting. Again thanks to Dewshine, Shadowborn, Bendiwolf, and Lilith this has been taken to a new level. Changes now include:

Crafting has shifted to the hides themselves. You still need to carry 'Fletching Calipers' and 'Leatherworking Shears', but now you click on the hides themsleves to make new armor. And for that, Dewshine has greatly expanded the scope:
New Armor: Quilted Armor that uses bleached cloth (the bolts and cut cloth can be bleached) and sheep's wool (specific to MMM). This includes robe, shoes, bracers, and hood.
New Armor: Cured Hide creates Fur armor, Bone Studded fur armor and Metal Studded fur armor.
New Armor: Tanned leather creates Soft Leather armor, Stealth Leather armor, Bone Studded Soft Leather armor, and Metal Studded Soft Leather armor.
New Armor: Boiled leather creates Pit Armor, Bone Studded Pit Armor, and Metal Studded Pit Armor.
New Armor: Werewolf Fur armor -- this unique armor is crafted from the fur of MMM Werewolves, and imbues the same resistances Werewolves enjoy, including normal weapon resistance, disease resistance, fortify sneak, fortify hand to hand, poison resistance and reflect damage. Of course, you have to hunt Werewolves to get these...
All of these armors are full sets -- shield, cuirass, boots, bracers, greaves, and helmet -- with multiple variants for a total of 72 new armor pieces that can be crafted from resources found in the MMM world! Three cheers Dewshine!

:: More Crafting Details in 3.5.5

MMM includes a crafting engine that allows you to expand alchemy and crafting components of the game. All up, 72 different items can be made. You can:

* Collect bones, feathers, stones, animal hide and more
* Make full armor sets out of animal hides
* Make arrows out of bones/stones and feathers
* Grind bones into Bone Dust
* Grind a wide range of gems into Gem Dust, each with unique properties.

Bone Grind and Gem Dust:

To grind bones and gems, you simply need a mortar and pestle and then just click on the bones or gems in your inventory. Only larger bones and gems can be ground to dust. There are dozens of gems and gem types, each granting different alchemical properties.

Note that some bones can have dual use -- they can be ground to dust for alchemy, or used to make armor and arrows.

Armor Crafting:

To make armor and arrows, first find the Leatherworking and Fletching tools which will show up in crates and barrels, just search and you'll eventually find them. Then, you can start your crafting by clicking on the appropriate items like so:

Leatherworking Shears = Hide Armor, Bone Studded Hide Armor (in full sets, including shields), Soft Armor and Bone Studded Soft armor (Cuirass, gauntlets, greaves, boots, and helmets).
Fletching Calipers = Bone, Barbed Bone, Silver, Ogre tooth, Daedroth tooth, Flint, and Obsidian Arrows. Need flights from feathers and matching ingredients for each type of arrow.
Feathers = Create arrow flights for crafting arrows
Animal Hides* = Allows you to make cured hides. The size of the animal determines how many final pieces of leather are created. The leather types are hide (fur), soft leather, and boiled leather.
Cured Hides = With metal nuggets, can create Metal Studded Hide Armor (full set)
Soft Leather = Make Stealth Leather (DB armor in pieces), and Metal Studded Soft Leather armor.
Timberwolf Hide = Special Timberwolf Hide armor set, including shield.
Werewolf Hide = Create Rawhide Werewolf Fur Armor, full set. Each piece endows the wearer with the natural abilities and resistances of the Werewolf.
Cloth = Clicking on cloth, either bolts or folded, grants the option to bleach the cloth.
Bleached Cloth = Clicking on Bleached Cloth while having Sheep's Woolf can create Quilted armor for mages. This set consists of robe, hood, bracers, and shoes.
Metal Objects = Clicking on middle class metal objects can create Metal Nuggets for Studded Armor. The weight of the item determines the number of nuggets. Individual nuggets may also be found in clutter.

* Animal Hides you can click on include, for example, Wolf Pelts, Deer Skins, Leopard Pelt, Lion Pelt, Panther Pelt, Boar Hide, Pahmer Hide, Bear Skin (brown, black, snow), Timber Wolf, Guar Hide, and even Werewolf Fur captured from Werewolves.

:: Guards with Swords ::
Post the 1.2 patch everyone was complaining that guards always showed bows now, and many people didn't like it. In MMM 2.2 there's now a 50% chance guards will favour swords over bows, so you will see both types of guards walking around. This doesn't affect combat -- all guards will fight with bows and swords on range, but those that prefer swords will go back to equipping swords before and after combat.

:: Safer Horsie ::
Seem odd that enemies find your horse more threatenting than other creatures, or even you? Now the player's horse is treated like it is -- a low threat, though it is still on the menu as 'food' for some creatures, but you will always be a bigger target than your horse.

:: New Creature Features ::
Ghostly Apparitions will now knock you over for a short period as they fly through you screaming... possibly making you vulnerable to nearby enemies. Goblin Asssassins can now critically strike you -- keep them at a distance or they'll take you down in a few hits! You can even hear when their posioned daggers rend the flesh from your bone...

:: Durability & Damage ::

The Durability & Damage plugin has been updated to include skill-based damage scaling: the higher your skill with weapons, the more damage you do. As a result the plugin is now more effective, making fights quicker than before. But note -- it applies to enemies as well!

:: More Diverse Creature Skins ::
The wildly (geddit, pun?) successful Diverse Creature Skins plugin has been updated with more variant skins, including in this release Bears and Flesh Golems (see New Creatures below) to add to the variety.

:: MMM for OOO Revised 3.5.5 ::
New updates to the MMM for OOO component now include creature faction quest animals are respected -- animals from OOO and MMM will be friendly towards you. Note, you still won't see many OOO creatures unless using FCOM for the moment. The final stage of the MMM for OOO module is full spawn integration (partial integration works now). Also in this module -- Adventurers can now loot OOO chests

* Depends on what game respawn time you are using. Default is 3 days, but some mods like OOO or Frans can extend this to two weeks or more.

*NOTE* The MMM for OOO Modules require OOO 1.33.

=== LOAD ORDER ===

Load Order Guide by Corepc

As MMM is designed to work both alone and with other mods like OOO and Francescos, it's important MMM is loaded after these to take effect. If you are using MMM with Francescos, this would be a good load order (note .esm 'master files' always load first regardless):

Francescos main .esm or Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul.esm
Francescos extra items .esm
Mart's Monster Mod.esm
(MMMforOOO.esm)
...
...
Francescos optional plugins .esps or Oscuro's_Oblivion_Overhaul.esp
Mart's Monster Mod for Francescos.esp or Mart's Monster Mod for OOO.esp
Mart's Monster Mod optional plugins .esps
What are the different versions?
Mart's Monster Mod: Use with vanilla, Adventurers and pretty much everything else!

Mart's Monster Mod for Frans: A tailored version for Francescos that allows stronger enemies and stronger bosses and more to appear in MMM. Note that MMM is fully updated for the latest Frans with the exception of the customiseable loot, which is slated for 2.1. For now MMM NPC's default to the HARDCORE balance model, but customizable loot works everywhere else in the game world â€" Fran's NPCs, chests, house loot, leveled quests and more.

Mart's Monster Mod for OOO: This release integrates the OOO loot for MMM NPCs, removes MMM guards so OOO guards take priority, and cross-pollinates MMM and OOO factions so like creatures correctly behave (i.e OOO wolves and MMM wolves on the same faction).

NOTE: MMM adds increased spawns to the game. It's recommended to use a slower levelling mod as your combat skills may get more of a workout. Alternatively, take advantage of the new factions, and lead one enemy to another and let them fight it out!
General Load Order for MMM Plugins

Note: FCOM Users see the FCOM load order, as it is very different because of how it works.

Generally speaking, you should use the following order:

1) Any MMM plugin that adds things, like creature addon, bat addon, more reavers, etc., need to load before spawn rate plugins so that the leveled list that is used by spawn rate plugins gets updated correctly with these new changes.
2) Plugins Like Looting, Diverse Creatures, Hunting and Crafting, Gems and Gems Dust , Diverse Imperial Armor, etc., need to load after any hotfixes, creature addons, more reavers, etc. so that these changes take effect.
3) Any MMM plugin that remove things like creatures (no rats, less rats, no spider, etc.), should be loaded before spawn rate plugins so that those plugins take affect and change the spawn rate leveled list appropriately.

NOTE: Some of these files are not included in the latest version; they are linked below.

General Notes

Important Fix: MMMMediumTexturePack: If you computer is set to small or medium texture, you will need this fix for issues with blood and goblin icons not showing up correctly for some users.

Final note: Generally, MMM should always be loaded last in your chain. The main exception is Mighty Magick - this should be loaded after MMM. Other notes:

* If you use Hunters 2.0 or Hunters 2.5, de-select it (included in MMM)
* If you use Creature Continuum, de-select it (included in MMM)
* If you use OOO, you do not need the Diverse Imperial Armor â€" it is already included.
* If you use Beautiful People, or any other mod based on Elaborate Eyes, don't use the
'Races Resized' optional plugin
* If you use onboard sound, nearby creatures may cause stuttering. Use the newest
'Quiet Feet' mod, which is compatible with MMM, OOO and others.
What Do the Different Plugins Do?

City Defences: All cities except the IC now have legion archers patrolling the battlements of each city. Based on the Wall Archers concept by gumballthechewy, this has been built from the ground up with MMM using less guards so as not to impact performance, added external cell as well internal cell guards, added pathing points for patrols along the battlements, and gave them special torches and equipment to enhance their effect. (The link goes to the latest updated version.)

Damage & Durability: Increases weapon damage by 50%, weapon skill based damage by 50%, and armor and weapon durability by 100% to help fights go faster and armor last longer with the default increase in spawns. (Do not use with OOO it already contains this tweak.)

Diverse Creature Skins: Adds diverse and different texture variants for many creatures in the game -- see a pack of wolves where each looks different, or a swarm of goblins with differences in texture and tone between them. This plugin adds a huge depth and variety to the game. Highly recommended! (do not use with MMMforOOO already contains this)

Diverse Imperial Armors: The much-improved Imperial City Guard armors by yakueb. (Do not use with OOO - it already contains this tweak/)

Gems & Gem Dust -- Combines Gem Dust, Tamriel's Glittering Geology, and Bone Grind into MMM's crafting system. The Gem Dust scripts have been scaled and applied against the gems in Tamriel's Glittering Geology, which you will also now find appearing on scome creatures and in gem-based loot level lists. Now updated by Bendiwolf to include new gem dusts for the new gems.

Friendlier Factions for MMM+Fran: Like it says on the box. Inter-faction fights less likely to occur for all creatures, except Bandits and Marauders who are mortal enemies. Use this one for standalone MMM or MMM and Francescos.

Friendlier Factions for OOO+FCOM: Like it says on the box. Inter-faction fights less likely to occur for all creatures, except Bandits and Marauders who are mortal enemies. Use this one for MMM and OOO or MMM and FCOM.

Francesco's levelled quests -- Francesco's levelled quests plugin updated for MMM. Requires Francescos. NOTE: See the 'Fran's Leveled Quest Update' section below for how to use this.

Hunting & Crafting: Enables a huge crafting system within MMM to create weapons and armor from the natural resources in the MMM world. See the MMM 3.0 summary and the Crafting section for more on what items you can create.

Less Bone Loot: Another request in the official thread, reduced generic bone loot on creatures for those who don't use bones for crafting.

Less Rats - decrease chance's of rats by 33% and lower the count of them = do not use with spawn rate reduced reduced

Looting NPCs & Creatures: NPCs, goblins and ogres will loot the bodies of their fallen prey. The exception are Guards, since you don't want them taking your loot (unless you don't mind killing them for it). Looting is about more than just NPCs taking each other's gear -- it breathes much more life into the world.

More Wilderness Life: Another community plugin developed by Dae, More Wilderness Life adds hundreds of new spawn points across Tamriel to help fill the bare, empty areas Bethesda left in the game. This isn't about simply meeting more creatures -- the advanced behavioural AI and inter-faction relationships introduced by MMM results in a thriving, living world around you as you travel (and where you're not always the center of attention), completely changing your experience of Tamriel. Highly recommended!

More Wilderness Life No Gates: Removes all the spawns points that where added to Oblivion gates, for people who were having problems a more reduced version of mwl...

No : Removes the monster in the file name from MMM's lists, for those who don't like fighting them.

No Blood: Prevents corpses from being extra-bloody.

No Bone Loot: Removes all bone loot, for people who don't want to use the crafting plugin.

No Carrion Rats: Removes Carrion Rats spawning at corpses after a few hours. Alternaively, you can load this plugin and alter the percentage chance. Just look for the global variable 'AMMRatPercent'.

No Lanterns: Removes lanterns from the game.

No Undead Rise: Prevents undead from rising after they are killed.

Resized Races: Diversity in race sizes is exended as well as females generally being shorter, and bulkier Nords and Orcs.

Spawn Rate Reduced: Reduced spawn rates for lower-end machines, stealthy characters, or those who prefer less action but want the other features MMM offers.

Spawn Rate Reduced Reduced: As above, but further reduced. Make MMM spawns more vanilla like 1-2 encounter's per spawn point..

Spawn Rate Increased: The oppposite of RSR, this plugin adds a crazy amount of spawns to hardcore trigger happy players.

Foxes - Adds a Small hut outside Bruma with Fox Rug and a small population of rabbits outside the hut..

Bats Addon - Contains the Bat Cave showing off a swarm of bat's..Once you get passed them there is special suprise...a two level dungeon designed by team mmm...

Extra Wounding - It extends MMM 3.5.3 combat/wounding/fatique system to npcs / creature's that are not modified by MMM...vanilla npcs and creatures etc...those added by other mods...etc...

Vindasel - Remove all MMM spawn points from this location, and make it more lore like has the game intended...quest location by the way...

Changes made to Gems & Gemdust Plugin:

• Restored Shift+Click dropping functionality by replacing bone grind scripts which had been removed. This also adds back the ability to not grind if bone is clicked on accidentally.

• Removed script from Platinum bar:
o It is now consistent with all other bars, can’t do anything with them except for finding them in clutter and selling for septims.
o Only a few liked the idea of increasing amount of coins created from the bar, almost as many weren’t exactly agreeable.

• Did not add script to Platinum coins to grind.
o They are the same as always, just found in clutter to sell for septims.

I elected on removing the Platinum Bar script as it didn’t make much sense (to me anyway). I also decided against adding a script to grind platinum coins. They are the same as when they were added into the game and I feel this is best as it avoids any conflicts of interest with realism players.

Changes made to Hunting & Crafting Plugin:

• Fixed invisibility problem with Female White Quilted Robe

• Reworked Crafting Guides just a bit, there is a Volume I and a Volume II now. Volume I only explains items which can be used, Volume II goes into specific detail as to how to craft items and detail of the finished crafted items.

• Changed value of Crafting Guides to zero and set the barrel to respawn. (Don’t think you’ll get rich… because the contents are only worth 28 gp)

• Increased the chance of finding Metal Nuggets also added the chance to find Metal objects such as Plates, Urns, Goblets and Tankards in random containers.

All Quills have been turned into feathers, but due to the extensive use in loot lists I did not fix that. The problem occurred when the script was fixed and instead of creating a new Quill item (Quill02) the original Quill (Quill01) was used thus turning the name of all Quills in the game to feathers. I will fix this if it becomes a problem, but since I was the only one who mentioned it I don’t think it will.
