I have been becoming more and more interested in sailing ships recently, only to be depressed by the fact that there is little to no mods that add places to sail to. For example, I have Bartholm, Stirk, and Elsweyr: Deserts of Anequina, but thats about it. I was going to keep Skyrim and Valenwood, but they are far from finished. Does anyone know of mods that are good for sailing, like port cities, islands, etc.?
EDIT: theres also the city of Firsthold in Summerset Isle, but it doesnt add NPC's.
EDIT 2: So it does add NPC's but its not quite a full city.

Well here's a player house you can sail too. :lmao: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=25010

edit: And I'm slowly working on building a piratical sort of port out behind the house, floating on the bay. That's going to be a while though. The building is done but that's all. Still have all the cluttering and NPC's to do.

lol, I just made a mod myself because there was a lack of places to sail! It may not be exactly what you are looking for, but you can take a look if you want. The link is in my signature.

I don't know of any that add locations to sail TO (other than the ones you already have), but if you just like that portsy feel, make sure to get http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=10126, http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=10080, and http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=16513. I'm not sure about compatibility between the latter two, though, so you may want to look into that. If not, I recommend Better Cities since it adds much more.

BC incorporates the entire Anvil Bay Expansion already, so be careful there.

Open Cities, when using Leyawiin Reborn, has a dock with ships and is sort of portsy feeling, but space constraints in that part of the world don't really allow for it to get much bigger. Still considering pushing that whole thing further south which would then free up more space for a larger port.

If smaller villages are your thing, my Vergayun mod adds a small fishing village to an existing abandoned vanilla dock by Fort Variela.

There's also Verona Bay which is the city from the Verona House Bloodlines mod.

The general lack of coastal cities is mainly because there's not that much actual coastline in the standard playable game. A snip of Topal Bay and the Gold Coast region is it.

thank you for that fishing village that will be very nice to add, i am just starting over after three years on one install and this will be a nice additoin and place to stay.much appreciated.

re sailing, if you get the sail boat mod, you can sail almost anywhere. but i hope someday we get a larger world in here, maybe more coast and some large islands. that would open things up a lot.

Skyrim improved. Haven't played for myself, but it looks like its in the same world space as Tamriel, so you should be able to sail to its coastal cities.

Damn Fiore, your signature is annoying

BC also incorporates the entire Bravil Docks too

However, BC Leyawiin does not provide free access for a sailing ship from Topal Bay into the Lower Niben, so you cannot actually sail to Bravil or the IC when using BC Leyawiin (you could row, that should work nicely).

With Onra's heightmaps, we should gradually be seeing more and more mods appearing beyond Cyrodiil but still in the Tamriel worldspace, we just have to be patient (and if you're a modder, patience be damned, you could create a mod yourself set around Onra's heightmaps! Go on, you know you want to).

This is Pirate Isles. It adds three islands to the worlspace but I am not sure how well the placement works with Onra's work. I think the game play experience is great though!

Quelldorf.

Sutch has docks off the sides of it.

dbug

LOL after reading this I had to click it to see what happens. That's hilarious! In an annoying sort of way :facepalm:

Heh heh. Glad its getting some attention. :laugh:

It's really only a temporary thing. I was annoyed that I couldn't post a quote I wanted, because it had too many characters, even when I hid it with spoiler tags. So I just went trigger happy instead. :gun:

I would have had it say 'spoiled' in the final spoiler.

yeah you got me.

While Skyrim Improved is not at all finished that northern coastline has got some great areas to explore. You just can't see them because there is no LOD for them yet. The pirate cove is worth checking out.

Is Skyrim a new part of the world? does it have people in it yet?

the pics look very interesting...... is it possible to add LODs ?
