Editing Creeper ?

My 9-year-old son is playing Morrowind, and is becoming frustrated with the bartering process required for selling high-priced items. At this point I don't think it is really worth trying to explain to him that there *are* reasons for the limitations, so I'm looking to find ways that will make the game an enjoyable experience for him :)

He is not hooked up to the internet, which means I can't download any mods for him (I tried copying a mod onto a floppy and transferring it over but it would not work for some reason :confused: ), so I would like to edit Creeper's cash. I know it is possible, but I have little experience using the construction set, and I don't want to mess anything up. I would be very appreciative if somebody could clearly (I'm no computer geek :D ) describe to me how one goes about giving Creeper more money.

Cheers! :)

One set of Step-by-step instructions coming right up!

Open the Construction Set.
Go to File (upper left corner) -> Data Files.
Choose Morrowind.esm by double-clicking it.
Click "Ok" and wait for it to load.

In the Object Window (usually to the left) click the "Creature" page/slide.
Search for "scamp_creeper" from the ID column (the one to the far left)
Double-click "scamp_creeper" to bring up the "Creature" edit window.
(If the "Blocked" option at the bottom right is checked, then uncheck it, click Save and then re-open the "Creature" edit window.)

Click the "AI" button at the bottom of the edit window.
Go to the "Services" page.
In the "Barter Gold" box type whatever amount of money you want him to have.
Click Save
Again click Save, now in the edit window.

Go to File -> Save.
Write a proper name (e.g "Wealthy Creeper") and save the file as a new TES plugin.
You have now made a plugin that makes the Creeper have more money.

Start the Game and from the startscreen go to the Data Files section.
Choose your plugin from the list and click Ok.
Start the game and enjoy!
