As featured on Morrowind Modding Showcases
Thank you darkelfguy and the team for keeping Morrowind modding alive!!!


The 'X' in the title comes from 'X-treme lantern usage'.


This is a cosmetic update for Ald-ruhn - it's filled with clutter and tries to make the city feel more welcoming and safe. The mod is inspired by the legendary Kilcunda's Balmora.

WHAT THE MOD ADDS
The focus of this mod is stuffing it full of clutter and atmosphere. It will not run well on slower computers, but it does run on my 15 year old PC okay!

The mod adds a few more buildings to the cells, including:
  • Apothecary 
  • Enchanter
  • Additional houses and NPCs to live in them (or wander nearby)
  • Under Skar overhaul which includs 6 manors in the Manor District (+cave dwellings) 
  • Additional guard towers and walls to enclose the city
  • Temple Expansion and Courtyard
  • Optional Mini quest added which allows you to build a Guar transport network to connect with smaller Redoran strongholds including Ald Velothi, Ald-ruhn, Bal Isra, Maar Gan & Molag Mar.

VERSION 2.0
Version 2.0 completely overhauls the path grids, which will give a performance boost for some players, and adds a new Temple Courtyard which was frequently requested. I didn't combine the mod with someone else's, I just made my own interpretation of the concept art. 

Additionally, in addition to having an intergrated path to Katya Karrel_Ruffin Vangarr's incredible Ald'Ruhn Outskirts - Ancestral Refuge. Like RuPaul once said, "If you're not using Katya Karrel_Ruffin Vangarr's incredible Ald'Ruhn Outskirts - Ancestral Refuge mod, you're only getting half the story." If you're not using their mod, the path will lead to a boring but useful Veloth Shrine.

INCOMAPTIBILIES
Incompatible with other exterior mods that edit Ald-ruhn, and that would probably include things like:
  • Epic Ald-ruhn
  • Beautiful Cities of Morrowind
  • Other mods that edit Ald-ruhn.
  • I have a hunch this will be incompatible with Mountainous Red Mountain but haven't verified. 

Special thanks to Mike + Ike for allowing the addition of their original design for the Manor District in the 1.8 update.

FUTURE PLANS
  • I just found out Skarface existed and would love to try to integrate it in with a patch.

IF YOU LIKED THIS:
  • You might like to try Vos X, which does a similar thing to Vos that I tried to do with Ald-ruhn. I think it's better than this one.
