Lol. File was so small that it's really surprising. Although I wasn't able to test it right away, hahaha. So... My apologies for the late feedback.
Anyway, comparing the file size and how beautiful it looks, I'd say it's definitely worth trying out. I do believe the absence of a forge is definitely lore-friendly. RP elements are great for those who like to RP.
And +1 to the largest bowl of Beef Stew I have ever seen in Skyrim. Hahaha.
The compact yet spacious appeal of this abode/home is good for people who would hate running around large castles. It's compact in a sense that there are just three rooms (if you'd count the deck area. Though just 2 rooms inside. Bedroom and main hall/Mess Hall.) and you never have to run far just to get to the other container, or whatever. Spacious since you won't ever feel like it's too cramped up. (Seriously, sometimes Breezehome makes me a bit claustrophobic.) Lotsa floor space to move in. Should really try getting one of those mods that make NPCs dance then we might as well have a party at the Blimp.

BTW, 4 large boats for the balloon and 1 large boat for the house works well. Hehehe. Gave it just the right roundness.
The only bug I encountered though... Was when my follower kept getting stuck in walls whenever I used the stairs to go to the main hall or when coming from the deck to the main hall. It's a custom follower though. I am yet to test on a Vanilla one. (It's a minor issue for me since that custom follower had a built-in summon spell so I could just summon her onto the center of the room to fix it.)
Ok... I've tested with Lydia. This time, she can't even go aboard. ~_~ (She gets left on the ground, probably running around to find you.) So I suggest, for the mean time, we could tell followers to wait before entering the blimp.
Also. I found another thing... That long chest on the foot-side of the bed... I think it's facing the opposite direction.
Im really glad you liked it. Really appreciate the fact you writ so much about it as well. Don't think i have ever had such a large bit of constructed feedback given to me in my life!
Im really glad you like it. I was thinking about adding the forge, but after the a while i decided to not include it, primarily due to the fact that a large area was needed for the forge, and this simply would not be achievable within a blimp. Imagine the weight of a forge aswell; i doubt a bilmp with 1 propeller would be able to hold the mass of a forge, let alone the objects that are in it currently!
The reason why you are encountering Lydia not being able to follow you around whilst being on the blimp, is basically down to me being a tad bit lazy. Navmesh is needed for NPC's to walk around, especially followers, but i partially forgot to add this, meaning that unfortunetly followers will not be able to follow you around. The blimp itself isn't very spacious, so the fact that a follower won't be getting in your way every now and again is a good side, but the experience is not the same without good ol' Lydia!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and please make sure to check out the mods that are to come in the future from me, you will not be disappointed!
My point exactly. A forge on a small blimp... Not really immersive nor logical. Besides, there's a forge on the ground a few steps away from the ladder, hehehe.
Hmm.... You got a point there. No followers means utmost peace and quiet. (Let's just remember to make followers wait before climbing the stairs.)
Don't worry, I'll be sure to keep an eye out for future releases. ^_^
Sorry about that, forgot to include the location of the Blimp itself in the description. I have now included it. Must have forgotten to mention it with all the excitement of trying to upload it!
First off, thank you very much for the time and effort that you have put into creating this mod, and a GREAT BIG THANKS with sharing it with the rest of us :-) From the pics and description, it looks to be a very creative, "outside of the box", type mod and I just love those lol. I have two characters going right now. The first is strictly lore-based with just a few mods, tweaks, and hi-res textures. The other is anything goes, I'll be using this for him :-) Anywhoo, I do have a couple quick questions...
1. The file size for this mod is SIGNIFICANTLY smaller than the original mod and below it is says its just the main file, do we need to install both to run it? 2. There is a .tes file in the archive along side the .esp file, I'm not familiar with this file type, can you tell me what it is/does? 3. This is probably already answered, and please forgive me if it is, but I didn't see it mentioned in the description. Is this a flyable ship -and- if it is, is there a user manual, instructions, or an mcm in game that we can use to configure stuff?
I hope I'm not weighing you down with too much there lol. Feel free to answer whenever ya feel like it :-) Thanks again for creating and sharing this mod with the rest of us. I just downloaded both the old and the new mods, I will come back shortly to endorse both!
Im so glad you like it, and im glad you liked the idea of it! I have seen a few blimp mods, but none of them fitted my needs, so i thought i would produce this not only for myself, but for the community also!
And to respond to your questions!:
1. I worried for a minute when i read this, as i thought i had saved it in a wrong format or something. I got rid of the original Bandits Blimp, downloaded this file, and then loaded up the game, and i can safely say that the mod only requires these files, and does not require the original. I was curious about the filesize in the first place; i don't know why its so small, but im not complaining!
2. The .ESP file is the only needed file from what i am aware, but i saw a .tes file, so i decided to add this just incase. I deleted the .tes file and then ran the mod, and i can tell you that it is not required. I don't know what the .tes file was for, or how it even got there, but it is not needed, so if you feel unsafe with it lurking around in your mod directory then you can just go ahead and get rid of it.
3. Unfortunately, the Blimp is not flyable. I thought about including this feature, but i had no idea on how to do it. I was considering adding fast travel options somehow, but i thought that would be pretty pointless as you can just use the map for that. but yes, it would be much better if the blimp was flyable, but i don't have the scripting knowledge to do so! (If it even requires scripting, i have no idea!)
Thank you so much for the support, not only did you leave feedback, but you also endorsed and i am very thankful for you doing so. Thank you for downloading my mod, and have a safe flight! (In a blimp that doesn't actually move!)

Also Fantastic Mod. I've recommended it to many of my friends.
