Striderports

by basswalker

released on June 15 2014


This mod adds shelter from the rain, benches, tables and some other clutter and misc items to all the
strider ports in the game. Just to make them look less boring and barren.

It should not interfere with ANY other mod. I have never seen another mod that altered the strider ports,
which is why I did this myself.

Hope you enjoy.

Install as usual. Nothing fancy. Just add the bw_striderports.esp to your data files folder and activate it.

I just dumped this on Morrowind mod history a few months ago but then I figured since its a new mod it deserves a release thread so you folks can give me feedback if something needs to be fixed, or should be added/removed, or just to let me know how much you love/hate it.

We do have a mod hosting section on GHF here, you could have uploaded it to there, and linked your release thread to there. That way you could update it if the need arises with put having to create a new entry like you would have to do on MMH.

I like small mods like these which goes a long way in immersion. Excellent idea . What I like is each port has its own little things, like the fire at Molag Mar or the 'crate stool' at Balmora.

Small gripes I have. Suran and Maar Gan don't have rain shelter. If you deliberately left them, I don't know. But might be good to add them. Book in Gnisis port is placed on edge of stool, may be move it more to the centre of stool.

Also, not fault of your mod, but some of the port overhangs are suspended in air like in Gnisis. I think there should be support at ends, otherwise it'll just collapse.

Thanks, I gotta say I got a little confused trying to find the right place to post this...havent been around much on the ghf forums although I´ve been visiting occasionally for years. Just not much of a forum person I guess, used to put my mods on planetelderscrolls back in the days.

Glad you like it. I´m pretty sure I left out Suran because they mostly have decent weather over there. Not sure about Maar Gan. Maybe I just couldnt make any of the overhangs fit right, or I didnt want to overdo the overhang thing, or it would have gotten too much in the way...
Thanks for the input though, I´ll have a look at the locations you mentioned and see what else could be done.

The rain shelters give shelter from the sun too....

Poor caravaners waiting in the sun all day just for the player day and night, its about time they get their shelters and luxuries..... and if you are interested may be something for the boat masters too ?

Good point

Never really thought of the boat ports. And I can already see mods like The Wanderer´s Dockside clutter get in my way. And pretty much any "town xy expanded/extended" mod that also covers the docks, if there are any. Thats why doing the strider ports was good for a lazy ass like me, no mods I knew of that would need to be taken care of to keep conflicts from happening.

Side note: You could use LCV, that way the caravaners would be gone during night time, to get some rest after a long day of standing around.

Anyway, this shows pretty much the only overhangs that would work in Suran and Maar Gan without coming up with weird constructions... just a rough cut to show you...what do you think?

I wouldn't worry about conflicts to be honest. You can always create patches later. I don't use any town expansions or Dock Side Clutter

The shelters look fine. Hope you finish this soon and release it at GHF and Nexus..........

PS : About LCV, I've used it in past. Its an excellent mod, but not every town is done and I tried to complete it once. But it was such a terribly monotonous and boring work that i gave up. So now I use the necessities mod which forces you to sleep. So I don't have to see them at night wandering around, as I'll be sleeping

Hah! This reminds me that I need to redo/update my CargoStrider mod.

This looks like a great idea!  Would you mind if I include a version of this in Sass-Transit?
