THE CASTLE

A fortified manor house (as opposed to stronghold or warehouse) with many large, detailed rooms for each major “function” – bedrooms, alchemy lab, armory, etc. plus surrounding shops and services. There is no quest for ownership (it is assumed that you have retained or inherited the house from Morrowind’s original owner), though a hidden dungeon provides a brief combat opportunity.

A small, simple mod to expand Jacobstown by adding interiors to the four boarded-up bungalows. This mod does not affect the exterior or the Lodge.

Adds:

– A barber shop (with face selection and hair menu)

Pelanor

Something as ambitious as Pelanor should at least be recorded, even if it didn’t actually happen in the end.

Basically, Korana had the idea for this city that would be all in interiors. She made some pretty effing sweet cells.

Thirsk Expanded

This just a small expansion, adding some very basic amenities to the village of Thirsk.

thirsk2

Very highly recommended:
Children of Morrowind: http://lovkullen.net/Emma/kids.htm
(Use with Thirsk Expanded Family.esp)

Description

Whatever Thirsk: A History says about the fact that the expanding population of Thirsk simply move away, I simply didn’t buy it – Thirsk is not big enough to sustain itself, certainly not for 500 years! Therefore, I just added half a dozen cottages to the outskirts, outside the walled area (if you have Felsaad Revamped by Lochnarus – or Fortified Thirsk) or just a little way away from the hall. The only dialogue addition is to update the Services and Thirsk reponses. There is now a trader and an apothecary – a hamlet such as Thirsk would need a healer of some description and a trading post if nothing else, the remaining houses belonging to the staff at the mead hall.

Suran Extended

This was the first city expansion I worked on (originally released in late spring 2005), and the first mod I made that I would regard as “distinctive”. It was heavily inspired by a holiday to the Greek island of Kefalonia – to the extent that the view from the Almyra hotel is actually the view across the Ionian sea to Ithaca, rather than the actual view of Suran you’d expect to see.

City expansion with houses, hotel, quests and plenty to explore …

Everybody needs a holiday. Fortunately, Suran – the Jewel of the Ascadian – is ideal for the tired hero in search of a relaxing break.

suranextendedlights1

The features of this exquisite holiday location include:

  • A luxury hotel with three bedrooms (balcony views and canopy beds!) and two enormous suites
  • A hotel restaurant
  • A taverna with outdoor seating
  • An Olde-Worlde tea shop
  • A souvenir shop
  • An unusual villa with a pool and an incredible view of Bal Ur
  • A number of private NPC residences
  • Two new books – a brochure and a recipe book

Patch 1.2 fixes: Slightly alters the landscape affected by Suran Extended to reduce clipping issues, replaces Hlaalu-style access staircases with wooden ones, one or two other minor fixes.
