Removed the forwards / backwards tilt as it makes the movement more janky when hitting rocks, I believe this way it looks more natural.
edited the movement speed of the boat I figured traveling by boat should be faster than swimming (if you dont like the new tweaks you can stick with version 0.8 but i belive it looks more natural.
Edited the sound fx to reduce the frequency it plays.
Added a rowboat keyword that will be used in future updates
Again thaks for the comments and feedback I will be addressing your comments on some of the sugestions you guys made, remember this is skyrim and I have limited knowledge on modding so the things I can do with the mod are limited, regarding the boat size comments, I'm planning on addresing that but remember the boat size and kind is set like this to hide the animation as it is using the horse ride animation if I make the boat smaller you will see your feet going through the boat's bottom, which looks pretty funny, so until I manage to get the animation (if I ever do so) until then the boat model will be like this.
if you are using NOLVUS or Skyrim 1.5.97, 1.6.659 use this mod: BEES this will allow you to use ESL flagged esps on these skyrim versions, but I will no be able to provide much support as this mod is intended to be used with the latest version of Skyrim Kudos to @trajansdaughter and the Nolvus discord for the solution.
For everyone who asked for followers in the boat that is something that currently cant be implemented in Skyrim or at least not by me and my limited knowledge, so I have no plans on doing it, just to keep things simple with the mod. But You can use the mod Ride Sharing if you want one follower to go with you, but bear in mind that mod uses scripts and there are reports of bugs and instability.
Is it possible to make the boat a solid object instead of something with no collision? I think this would be cool because it would allow us to stand on the boat and fish in the middle of a lake or something. This is an awesome mod and honestly pretty game changing. All it needs is custom "riding" animations specific to the boats.
This is an incredible mod. Vuszu, you should be really proud of bringing this to life. The only thing I wish was present was a way to bring your party (two or three) people onto the boat with you, but even without that, it is still an absolute amazing mod. Please don't abandon this, as you have so much talent and there is so much cool stuff you could implement into this.
I'm playing on Survival mode, Legendary difficulty. And with Alternate start.
Both "Alternate Start - live another life". Alt start has a ship wreck option to start and I get killed fast because it is literally impossible to survive the cold water getting to shore. Could you do a patch/add on to give us your boat on the "ship wreck" in that start mod?
Additional Suggestions: While you are working on animations, can you add an ability/animation that we can select/use to drive our paddle (canoe) or oar (rowboat) into the river bed underneath our boat whenever we get suck on shallow gravel to propel the boat forward about five feet to clear the obstruction? Also suggest you extend the amount of time the boat survives when it hits shallow river bottom by at least 2x (maybe 3), to give people a chance to clear the obstruction before their boat 'dies.'
Edit: Also if you could REDUCE the degree (not eliminate entirely) to which the boat tilts from side to side when you approach a river bank, that would be awesome.
Not really just some misspelled words and removed one unused reference, but there shouldn't be any issue on updating mid game either, I also changed the speed of the boat and changed the tilt behavior, there wasn't any Id or ref changes so is completely safe
Getting the following LOOT warning, "This plugin has a header version of 0.9, which is less than the game's minimum supported header version of 1.7." Something to worry about?
There appears to be something fishy about this plugin...
The mod plugin has a header of 0.9 which is ancient (like as though it were made with CK / XEdit from TS3 or TS4?).
If this was made with latest CK/XEDIT wouldn't it be 1.71?
> if you are using NOLVUS or Skyrim 1.5.97, 1.6.659 use this mod: BEES
If the plugin header was 1.71 that would make sense, but XEDIT shows it as 0.90.
Furthermore, BEES logs out plugins that it's handling and I DO NOT see this mod being handled by it. ... etc .. etc. no mention of RBS_Prepare_for_boat.esp

The mod does seem to work for me; I can get the spell and have even enjoyed using the boat. However, for someone trying to track down random CTDs (that may not be from this mod), it's a little worrisome.
I'm curious if the author has any insight on why the weird headers.
I mostly work with xedit for the last couple of updates not the CK and I used an older plugin as base, which I intend to fix when re building for v 1.0, but I havent heard of any issues on the spell not working, niether shoul be any issues with the header version, the mod is pretty simple just a boat mesh attached to a goat skelleton with a saddle bone, the plugin is not intended to run on older versions of skyrim or using bees tho it is possible to do for some people, but I could not provide any help or troubleshoot on that since Im using the latest version of skyrim as stated in the sticky post.

- if someone make model replacer, I will be happy to download it.
Amazing mod.
Is there any wat we can customize the camera?

Would suggest you make that clear on your mod page as the game won't run with it installed.
