Lively Cities

Lively Cities adds static NPCs on the streets of Daggerfall's cities and smaller settlements. You may stumble upon beggars, tavern patrons, prostitutes, priests, commoners, children, minstrels and acrobats the next time you're in town.

These NPCs can be interacted with and some are guild members who will recognize you if you are a fellow guildmate. NPCs have schedules and some will appear during the day, while others will be there at night. Rain and thunderstorms will also disable several of them.

The marketplace's building interiors have been revamped. Enjoy these new areas!

In addition, because I used buildings' exteriors to place NPCs, I added quest markers to around 60 houses that had none. This means that there are 60 new quest locations that can be used for quests. I also fixed floating lights and aligned furniture with the walls for every building I used. You may thus see less visual oddities inside the houses I edited.

Note that, for the moment, desert towns are not fully covered because of the lack of Redguard NPCs. Should the modding community create those, I'll gladly populate these locations.

CONFLICTS/KNOWN ERRORS

- Cities Overhaul and Beautiful Cities of Daggerfallis compatible.

- Tavern's Redone : Ensure it's loaded before Lively Cities to see the Lively Cities marketplace. It gets auto-sorted once you leave the mod list menu in the Daggerfall Unity launcher.

- Transparent Windows : You may see visual oddities inside the detailed shops and taverns.

It's possible the script that controls the NPCs' schedules may not apply when you first arrive at a location. This depends on how many resources need to be loaded on arrival and other ressource intensive mods may affect it. This can result in the marketplace's Day/Night NPCs co-existing. Nevertheless, as soon as a condition triggers (time of day, weather change),  the NPCs will react accordingly.

If you encounter any other issue with the mod, please let me know.
