1st Alchemy Companion Julienne ver 6.1 by Pela
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This files provides 4 companions, more than 800 new items, more than 50 spells and other various features. I hope you will give this companion mod a try. This file is very likely compatible with most all other companion mods because this file has been created from the ground up, and is not based on any other companion mods out there.

-------------------------
Introduction
-------------------------
First fo all, English is not my primary language, so you may find some strange and/or rude expressions in this description and the manual of this mod. There may be also wrong expressions in the books that this mod provides. Your understanding and patience would be greatly appreciated. 

I hope that you will enjoy the various features of this mod. All fundamental features as a companion mod are of course included. Although this file adds more than 800 objects, they do not affect those of original Oblivion negatively since they are added as new ones. 

Comapnions:
The merits of the companions in this mod are their flexibleness, unique personality and unique specialization. You can, for example, order some of them to change their combat styles, primary weapon, adjust their spells and so on. However, every companion is not meant to be perfect. Each of them has flaws as well as beauties. For exapmle, the alchemist Julienne carries ingredients and potions, and will help you by offering alchemic services, but she is mean as a fighter. The swordsman Ophelia fights fiercely and offers the work to forge weapons, but there will be few things that you can specially order her to do. The assassin Melissa can perform any part in combat by changing her class, but she does not exceed the others in each specialization. The sorceress Mystina has deadly spells, much Magicka and excellent resistance to magic, and you can turn on/off her specific schools of magic, but she will be frail if involved in melee combat. If you have already downloaded this mod, please check the manual, where you can check further information.

Objects:
All the objects except for other authors' creations are visually same as those of original Oblivion or those whose mesh is altered . Please do not expect visually new objects. I have no talent nor skill to create objects from the beginning. The difference is their unique effects and performance by attaching script, enhancing their attributes, or combining various effects.  Please just ignore the appearance not being refined even though it disappoints you. I hope you will put their 'effects' to good use, not their 'appearance'. If you have already downloaded this mod, please read up on further information described on the manual.

Tips:
This mod adds lots of things, but there is no need to know everything about the mod in advance. For example, if you would like to use only a companion, you will need to check in the manual only the information on the companion. Also, you can often get necessary information at the same time when you get something new. You will, for exapmle, get a book or the kind in the game to tell you how to use item/spells. Of course, it would be best to read up in advance on all the texts in the manual, but I hope you will enjoy this mod in your way at your own risk. Nevertheless, one thing strongly recommended is that you hesitate to use what you do not know how to use. Please check the manual whenever you face something unknown. Without knowing appropriate use, a few features might cause your game to break in game-blance, or literally break in the loss of essential things like Nirnroot or important NPCs.

Thank you very much for your understanding and patience.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements, Conflicts & Incompatible mods
-------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements => None 
Each archive contains all the requirements.

Conflicts => None known
Although some suspicious matters were known as to the previous version,  but few conflicts will occur in the last release, because the location of Julienne's shop has been moved to a new cell. Some objects remain in Chorrol, but they have been adjusted so that they may not interfere with the mods that edit Chorrol cells, like open cities or overhaul-mods. 

Incompatible mods => One mod
"5 Explosives" by Pela/Quistena (me)
If you would use this mod, that will need to be un-installed.

-------------------------------
Bugs & Problems
-------------------------------
No bugs known at present.
No problems known at present.

-----------------------------
Before Installation
-----------------------------
STEP 1
Before using this file, please backup your save data file just in case. It is not absolutely required, because I have never found any bugs in my test. Nevertheless, I would strongly recommend you to protect yourself.

STEP 2
To set the objects normally, it would be recommended to start a game in which your player character is not in/near Chorrol. For the Chorrol cell and the Chorrol South gate cell is used as the initial location of the objects that this mod provides. The above process is required only when on the first instance.

CAUTION! (for users of previous versions)
The latest version is quite different from old ones. It might cause some problems to overwrite old files with new ones. It would be recommended to clean your save data by un-installing the previous version that you are using. First, take away all your items from the companions' inventory or the additional boxes that you have given them, lest your items be deleted when the the old version is un-installed. After the old version is removed, start the game without installing the new version. Then, save the game, which will get it cleaned. Afterwards, install the new version.

--------------------------
Installation
--------------------------
Copy the following file and folders into the "Data" folder where TES4 Oblivion is installed (Oblivion/Data). Then, activate the esp as a Data file from the Oblivion Launcher.

See also the "Options" section below.

---------------------------
Options
---------------------------
You have the four options to adjust this mod to your tatse. 

1. Swear Filter Option:
You can turn on/off bad language which a character in this mod uses. 

2. Game Balance Option 1:
You can decide whether recruiting more powerful followers requires your level to be higher. The topic to recruit a companion will not show up until your level reaches:
10 (Julienne)
15 (Melissa)
20 (Ophelia)
25 (Mystina)
30 (The extra companion)

3. Game Balance Option 2:
You can decide whether the companions are tagged as essential NPCs.

4. Fast Travel Option:
You can disable Fast Travel if you wish. This option is made originally for my personal use. 

You will find the option menus to come out automatically in the first run. Please adjust as you like. Should you have no idea which ones suit you, it would be recommended to reply:
"Yes" to Option 1
"No" to Option 2
"Yes" to Option 3
"Yes" to Option 4
Perhaps, the above would be safe choice to most players.


CAUTION!
THIS OPTION MENUS CONFLICT WITH ANOTHER AUTO-RUN MENU THAT ANOTHER MOD PROVIDES. SET UP THIS MOD ALONE IN THE FIRST INSTALLATION:
Set up the options of this mod after other mods have been set up, or set up other mods after the options of this mod have been set up.
