Adds polish and detail to the homes, farms, manors and surrounds of the Ascadian Isles, with a "vanilla+" approach, without drastically changing the landscape or aesthetics with the intent of maximising compatibility with other mods.


Part of the May Modathon Month 2024!

Description

What is included:

Adds landscape detailing, clutter, and OAAB/Tamriel Data asset integration to the following locations in the Ascadian Isles:

•     Alof's Farmhouse
•     Arano Plantation
•     Balur's Farmhouse
•     Dirara's Farmhouse
•     Gro-Bagrat Plantation
•     Llovyn's Farmhouse
•     Manat's Farmhouse
•     Nilera's Farmhouse
•     Omani Manor
•     Piernette's Farmhouse
•     Small Farmhouse
•     Sterdecan's Farmhouse
•     Ules Manor (+ Outbuildings)
  

The interiors and immediate exterior cells around these locations (primarily farm fields, short paths between and leading into farms, manor/plantation yards, docks, and some waterfronts)


What is not included:

The majority of "wilderness" areas in the Ascadian Isles remain unchanged. Full list of edited cells here.
The terrain heightmap remains 99% untouched.
The positions of vanilla exterior objects are almost entirely untouched.
NPCs, quests, items ec. are untouched.
No changes were made to the Dren Plantation or the majority of the Arvel Plantation as similar mods already exist for those locations, including Beautiful Cities of Morrowind, and Concept Art Plantations.

Installation

Installation using the fomod installer via a mod manager recommended.

If installing manually, use only one version of AscadianFarmhouses.esp and if using grass patches, only one Rem_AI.esp replacer.

AscadianFarmhouses_RemGrass.ESP should be used for distant grass generation in addition to the patched Rem_AI.esp, and should not active when running the game.


Requirements

Tribunal + Bloodmoon
OAAB_Data.esm
Tamriel_Data.esm

Compatibility:

Checked compatible with:

• Beautiful Cities of Morrowind - No overlap of edited areas.
• Suran - The Pearl of the Ascadian Isles - No overlap of edited areas
• Concept Art Plantations - Compatible, work well together.
• Remiros' Groundcover - Grass patch available, plus grass patch for Remiros Grass + BCoM and/or CAP.
  

Compatibility patches available for:

• Minor Plantations Redone - Compatible version with changes to Gro-Bagrat and Arano plantation interiors removed, and adjustments to exteriors to remove clipping objects.
  

Compatibility checks/patches planned for:

Vality's Ascadian Isles (MMH)
Bountiful Blue Kanet
Ascadian Corkbulb Groves

(Initial reports suggest these three mods are mostly compatible but with some minor clipping)

Please report any compatibility issues you run into, or requests for patches - I'd be happy to provide patches for many mods.
Most likely not compatible with any mods which make significant alterations or additions to these farms/plantations or their interiors.
