Stormrider TR
by Kellick Stormcrow, and updated by vaelta
---
This is the original Morrowind sailing mod, Stormrider by Kellick Stormcrow, updated by me to include Tamriel Rebuilt and Province Cyrodiil.
You can buy a ship in the EEC offices in Ebonheart, or the Shipworks in Anvil. I have reduced its price to 15,000, as 200,000 was frankly unobtainable without cheating or exploits: I have played characters whose sole purpose was to trade from port to port (using Buying Game mechanics) and I need a ship fairly early on, not when I have become an uber rich Morrowind god..
Other than the cost, the only changes I have made have been to include the Thirr (south of Almas Thirr, otherwise it was inaccessible due to the city being non-navigable) and Port Telvannis as fast travel locations. I have removed Solstheim as an option, as it conflicted with mods that moved Solstheim's location, and Khuul is close enough anyway.
I have also added a teleportation ring (found in the cabin) that will take you back to the cabin. I have included this not as a "cheat", but because there is a small chance that the ship will sometimes just vanish. But, teleport back into the cabin using this ring and leave by the door and you will magically find the ship back where you anchored it!
And why did I make this? Because Stormrider is, in my opinion, still by far the best boat mod, and I have had MANY happy hours sailing around Morrowind. I love the fact that you can walk around on the deck as the ship is sailing. I love the fact that you can look around in any direction as you are controlling the ship. I love the fact that it has (reasonably good) collision detection. And I think it is hugely impressive that this mod is about 20 years old now, made long before MWSE existed. Very impressive lateral thinking coding skills, I am guessing..

Requirements:
Tamriel Data
Tamriel Rebuilt
---
Installation:
Place the ESP into the Data folder.
Optional version of Damius's Telvanni Sea Beacons included, modified to allow passage around the south eastern side of Vvardenfell (was otherwise not navigable). The non-ESP assets are for the Sea Beacons. This ESP will also let you sail into the harbours at Vos and Dagon Fel. I did look at how Sadrith Mora might be made possible: it just isn't possible. That harbour is just ridiculously placed...
---
Compatibility:
Should be compatible with everything.
---
Bugs:
Stormrider is definitely not free of bugs. The main ones (and their workarounds, because I am definitely not clever enough to fix them) are as follows:
* The ship vanishes on a cell change.
If this happens, turn around 180 degrees and walk back into the previous cell. When you do so, you will be back on the ship. (Does not happen very often, but it does happen.)
* The ship vanishes when you are away from it.
This is why I have included the teleportation ring, which will teleport you back into the cabin. Whether you use it as a cheat is up to you!
* The ship has got stuck somewhere.
The collision detection systems are not perfect. Sorry. Fast travel out of it.

Recommended mods:
Lighthouse mods are well worth adding.
