About this mod
Adds a service to the Black Horse Courier and helps secure their collection of writing. Also provides access to special and exotic items for purchase. Speak to Urjabhi when inside the Black Horse Courier office.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Donations
In addition to the BHC offices and new areas and NPCs, Ra'jiradh Pride and their home in Talos is also overhauled. There is also a new bulletin board outside the offices that have some starting quests and some interesting info.
COMPATIBILITY
Better Imperial City (see below)
BHC Expanded
LOAD ORDER
As low as possible (Better Imperial City, if in use, should load after this mod).
CONFLICTS/PATCHES
A BIC patch for two interiors (some minor overlapping/intrusion) may not be fully stable and may crash on the bulletin board for some reason. Using the BHC_Expanded patch, however, does not seem to have this problem. So use the BIC patch carefully if you really want it.
RECOMMENDED
BHC Expanded
All Natural
Immersive Interiors
GENERAL FEATURES
- overhaul of the BHC + the Pride Home levels in lore-friendly and immersible fashion
- all “Special Editions” in one convenient place as unlocked in your game
- new “default” import items for sale
- “special” import items unlocked as you unlock certain special editions. (currently there are 5 different special items available via 4 of the special editions)
- bulletin board system for store/clerk hours, help wanted, and city announcements
- 2 different immersible systems/rooms added where you can dispose of enemies placed by this mod after they have been slain and clean-remove them from your save game
- upgrade-able basement player home for new/low level characters
Update Version 1.9
This version digs even deeper than the last, overhauling the Black Horse Courier and the three Khajiit Brothers who run it. Though there's a good quest or two so far in addition to the usual export business – as well as a handful of decorated rooms – some functions or plans are still limited.
Main Updated/Overhauled Features
- some new “default” import items have been added (unlocked from start)
- huge imports display case added (only shows what is currently available)
- immersible system created where player can legally visit the normally off-limits upstairs and basement offices (all fully decorated/built on based on the vanilla base)
- 3 new writers created/added based on the names found in the BHC broadsheets w/ full AI Packages and decorated living and work areas – each has some special feature like a service or something quest-related
- busy office: nice mix of schedules as well as some new random AI packages added – based on the vanilla schedules for the three brothers; everyday is different and at least slightly random and the offices are quite busy during the day
- many nice resources used (see credits)
- all portable items added by this mod have custom icons made by me
- quest system whereby player can unlock access to the BHC Pride's home and earn an upgrad-able basement player home
- immersible incineration system to remove enemy bodies added by this mod from your save-game to avoid potential bloating for the life of your save-game
further upgrade for the basement home including alchemy station + sorting containers(not in this version)- thief book story is now twice as long for part 1 (about 1200 words total)
GENERAL USE & Tips
This mod is best used by new or low-level characters trying to “make it” in the Imperial City. Higher level characters can still enjoy the new exotic imports, special features, and enhanced NPC interactions, and still do the first quest just to unlock the prizes and play to the extent of this mod.
Tips: Journal entries here are meant to be sparse and minimal reminders at best, so make sure to follow all quest-related dialogue and texts closely. Re-check the bulletin board any time you finish a task from it.
Thief Angles
The Kahjiit brothers are leveled/balanced in order to make stealing more challenging. Some money paid to the BHC can also be stolen back if you are playing that kind of character.
Possible Plans...
- expand khajiit brothers quests even further so that one day you can take over the BHC
- keep adding quests centered on the IC and IC sewers – possibly including making some vanilla sewers more expansive with new areas
- alternate player home in the SE Sewer Exit (added rooms with detailed deco and upgrades to the vanilla – for “thief” type character mostly but anyone can use it)
- alternate “robin hood” type bandit faction you can join and help to call out corruption on the city's rich as well any in the Elder Council
