That makes sense. I assumed the normals were different. That's what I get for viewing a model via msPaint. fail

I took a look at the screenie you gave since I don't have access to my PC for a couple days. You are well within your budget for tris so you have some room to add geometry.

Use a data.cab extractor to have access to all of the individual files. I would post a link if I had one: hopefully someone else will. A quick web search for suitable software should suffice if you wield the savvy.

Good luck!

I just realized that it may be because my bloodmoon disc has they redundancy check error and I can't install it:

Need help finding an item in the CS

Can someone tell me the name and tab animal skin rugs are under in the TES:3 CS. I swear I remember them, I just can't find them.

If they don't exist in TES:3 just call me crazy and I'll be on my way :P

double check the items in the CS to make sure their gold values are normal, and see if the merchant is abnormaly friendly with you or your faction. Both would drastically affect what the prices are

I've got the files loaded back into max and I'm giving them all a look-over. The main Market Stall looks like it only needs various texture modules of the cloth roof, and some final UVW work. everything involving the meshes will be downhill from there. I'll submit some screenies as soon as I am able.
