📋 About This Mod
Detailed Ships revamps the interior and exterior of the purchasable ships. Outside, tight ropes are attached to the masts, crates and barrels are here and there, tenders sit on the top deck, rudders are present and there are additional railings. You may even spot a dolphin jumping out of the sea. Inside, each room has a purpose. You'll find your personal quarters, the crew's quarters, kitchen, storage in the cargo hold, a shrine to Kynareth, goddess of the sailors, an armory and more. Support pillars have been added on the ceiling and sides of the large ship, giving it more depth instead of simple flat walls.
NPCs also hang around the decks, serving no other purpose than to be talked to and add some spice to your sea travels. If you prefer to sail alone, use the "No NPCs" version of Detailed Ships, found in the optional files tab.
All interior containers can be used for safe storage.
The large ship has one room I left empty on purpose so you can decorate it as you wish if you have the Decorator mod.
Enjoy! Yar arr arr.
INSTALLATION/REQUIREMENTS
Detailed Ships requires Ninelan's Daggerfall Expanded Textures 1. 2. 0 or later.
Either install using Vortex Mod Manager or extract the content of the archive to the StreamingAssets of your Daggerfall Unity directory.
Example : \DagUnity\DaggerfallUnity_Data\StreamingAssets
The .dfmod file will be installed in "Mods".
If you don't want NPCs, install Detailed Ships - No NPCs instead. Don't use Detailed Ships in that case. Only one or the other.
In-game, activate the Detailed Ships version you've choosen along with Daggerfall Expanded Textures from the mod launcher.
It is recommended that you are not inside or outside your ship when you enable or disable this mod.
CONFLICTS/KNOWN ERRORS
Currently not compatible with Warm Ashes High Seas. Using it with Detailed Ships will result in not seeing the interior/exterior changes to the player ship. SquidKamer, the mod's author, will work on a compatibility fix in the next update.
Compatible with Decorator. Customize your ship even more by combining both mods.
If you encounter any other issue with the mod, please let me know.

Detailed Ships by Cliffworms revamps the interior and exterior of player ships with several additional details. With 150 endorsements and 14,285 downloads, this cosmetic mod enhances ship visuals for players seeking more immersive environments. Last updated April 2026.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid endorsement count (150) shows players are digging it.
- Decent download numbers (14k) mean it's been tried by a good chunk of the community.
- Recently updated (April 2026), so it's likely still compatible with current game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Description is vague—no specifics on what details are added, so you're going in blind.
- Only 150 endorsements out of 14k downloads suggests some players may have had issues or moved on.
- Compatibility with other ship mods is unknown—could conflict if you use other overhauls.
For players who want to spice up their ship's look without overhauling gameplay. If you're a builder or roleplayer who spends a lot of time on your ship, this adds visual flair. Skip if you're after gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a cosmetic mod, you can easily preview changes by loading a save and checking your ship before committing.
- If you use other ship mods, test this one alone first to see if it conflicts—then add others gradually.
- Check the mod's page for any update notes or comments to see if other players report issues with specific ship types.
