This is the original Morrowind sailing mod, Stormrider by Kellick Stormcrow, updated by me to include TR.
As before, you buy the ship at the EEC in Ebonheart, though 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.
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..
Original description:
Features:
- Sail a Boat or Ship along the coastline of Vvardenfell or wherever you
desire.
- A large personal ship with cabin and below decks, reached by their own
properly placed door and hatch that move with the ship.
- Fast travel from one location to another on your boat or ship.
- Free Mode: Gives you the ability to walk around the top deck of the
ship while it is sailing.
- Allows the use of mark/recall spells. Feel free to mark inside the cabin or
below decks and recall back to your ship no matter where you left it.
- FA 2.53 control system using standard WASD movement keys.
- FA 2.53 improved collision detection system.

Requirements:
Tamriel Data
Tamriel Rebuilt
---
Installation:
Place the ESP into the Data folder.
---
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.
Irritating, but not the end of the world: console command: [coc "Stormrider, Cabin"] and you will be back inside.
The ship has got stuck somewhere.
The collision detection systems are not perfect. Sorry. Fast travel out of it.

Recommended mods:
Lighthouse mods and the Telvanni sea beacon mods are well worth adding.
The game in its standard state does NOT allow you to navigate directly from Tel Branora through to Helnim, due to all the menhirs. I have done quite a bit of work making this channel navigable, but haven't included my patch for that (because it is in a general personal patch with many other small changes). If people desire it, let me know and I can try making a patch that does just that.
