CM Solace Mod Description:
The CM Solace Mod is an update of Solace Revisited by Zenman released in 2007, which was a revision of the original Solace Mod by Mealmoran released in 2006. The readme files for both of these are included in the download.
The Mealmoran mod was very popular and has had more than 25,000 downloads to date. The reasons for this are obvious. Located in the Blackwood Forest southeast of Bravil, the Elven City in the Trees is visually stunning and more in keeping with the natural wooded habitat that Elves prefer. The mod’s contribution to my own Elven roleplaying was considerable. But there were many issues with the quests and structures. Zenman corrected many of these in Solace Revisited, however, there were some places where the walkways were blocked by invisible barriers which were very annoying. Also, there were many barren looking platforms leaving the impression that the mod was incomplete. The CM Solace Mod is an attempt to provide a more complete and finished product.
The following is a list of changes made to the Solace Revisited Mod:
1. Reworked walkways, structures, and buildings to move them further away from the trees to correct blocked pathways. Now you can walk from one end of the city to the other without being stopped or accidently leaping to your death trying to jump over the barriers.
2. Added stools and benches throughout to provide places to sit to admire the lush woods and spectacular views. Also added more barrels, crates, and sacks here and there around the city.
3. Moved the tent provided in the city center away from the branches and central fire and into the open, and equipped with sleeping pallets, storage containers, food barrel, and wine chest. Now the player has a place to live. I liked this idea of sleeping in the open so much, that I created two more tents with camp fires and similarly equipped: One was placed on a new extension added to the north side of the shop platform, and the other on the empty half of the platform with the tiny tree house high on the side of the host tree just west of the shop platform. There is still room in a several places where portable tents can be setup.
4. Added a practice dummy to the training platform along with a weapons chest and armor chest to provide a variety of training aids. These chests do respawn, so do not store anything you want to keep in them.
5. Added a few surprises including a hidden (small) treasure cache. Do not store anything here because it does respawn and you will lose what you store.
Items that could not be fixed:
1. The tavern has two objects suspended above the roof that look like the tops of chimneys. They are in fact part of the tavern graphic and not separate objects. The chimneys are gone, and I could not find them in the TES Construction Set.
2. There were some errors identified by the TES Construction Set during startup which I was never able to track down. Game play does not seem to be affected.
Installation:
Unzip files into your Data Files folder. Click Yes to install the meshes, textures, and sound. Activate the mod and play. If you are presently using Solace or Solace Revisited, remove any items and companions and save your game, before activating this mod. Also, don’t forget to deactivate Solace or Solace Revisited.
