I have a new update to my mod, Ushindra's Beach. All the hard work was done by bhl and Mandamus, so a big thanks to both of them.
You can download it right now from http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=6575 (look for the file called Ushindra_Beach_v12.7z).
Introduction from the "Read Me":
This started out as a few swimming costumes. Then I thought it would be nice to
have some NPCs wearing them, so added some landscape. And some more costumes.
Then I thought I should add a few quests to give the player a reason to go there.
And some more costumes. And the quests sort of just grew. The result is more a
quest mod that happens to feature swimwear.
There are now a few dozen different swimming costumes, and over 40 NPCs wearing
them, on a new island just south of Ebonheart (with a shop so you can buy your
own). There are slightly over a dozen quests, one of which will be easy to miss,
one is only for House Hlaalu, one only for Houses Telvanni or House Redoran.
Most are non-combative and suitable for any level, the rest are more aimed
towards low to intermediate level characters. It should work fine with existing
characters.

Version 1.2 changes
- fixed various bugs
- polished all dialogue, especially the Greetings to enhance immersion
- (hopefully) made Ushindra's dialogue immune to mods that revert the Ushindra Region to Ascadian Isles Region (NPCs now use local variables to filter their dialogue instead of relying on Cell filters)
- polished all exterior and interior Cells. You won't see floating objects with this version anymore!
- smoothed the coast line a bit
- redecorated Lycra's house to make it look like a tailor's home
- renamed "Building 3" to "Adventurer's Alcove"
- fixed a couple of "zero-fog" lighting bugs
- added a key for the locked door in Tel Llendoril
- changed a couple of NPC names to be more lore-correct
- gave every piece of swimwear a unique inventory icon
- added new ground meshes for all swimwear, courtesy of Mandamus
- incorporated the previously separate UshindraMH addon into the main mod
- added parts of the previously unreleased UshindraPlus to the main mod
- documented Ushindra Beach's global variables in its scripts
- documented Ushindra Beach's quest structure in a quest tree
