📋 About This Mod
Kursan IS PROUD TO PRESENT Balmora Riverview Tower
Description from the original page:Since everybody is bringing back their golden oldies here is one of mine.
Yes, yes ANOTHER house in Balmora, but this one is a bit different in the details, even has a functional toilet Comes with a cozy detailed interior, a large crypt for a storage basement and a secret passage through a crystal cave to the west gash region for all you children of the night... Also gives you a personal Gondolier that will take you to either the Odai gorge or all the way to Hla Oad at the Bittercoast. Has a stable for one mount and of course a rooftop garden with an amazing view! Just move on in and enjoy the stay.
Compatability and Conflicts: The tower is compatible with "Balmora Expansion", which is amazing given the amount of changes that mod introduces, I highly recommend it. The hidden cavern exit (or entry) north of Balmora sadly conflicts with "Better Landscapes Stonewood Pass".
INSTALLATION: I recommend to use NMM via manual download, that is download manually to desktop then use NMM to install from there; or download manually and extract the files in the folder to the corresponding files in the Morrowind Data folder. Changelog: Balmora Riverview Tower V-2 Here is a long list of changes I have made to the mod, some pointed out to me by the community and then I added some more stuff. I hope you like it because unless you find a major flaw THIS IS IT! Also I added a screen-shot of the Tower in Balmora Expanded so you can see how well it fits in. Warning to sticklers; note the slight clipping of a Balmora expanded tree with the Tower corner. It does not affect game-play and trees do grow into buildings.
Changes on the Outside: -Shrunk the pillows on the roof top hammock. -Added floating barrel in river.
Changes in the Tower: -Changed the ambient lighting. (Hope Darkelfguy gets in the mood now -Added some lights in the staircase. -Removed the "Uberskull", this was added by a prankster reviewer. -Added two lime wares to the empty chest, supposed to make the kitchen area look more "lived in". -Added two ingredient urns for sorting on the table, moved cupboard up. -Changed Chest next to kitchen hearth to an empty one of another type. -Changed the basement closet to another style also empty. -Moved the shower screen and bench to make access easier. -Fixed the misaligned bathroom corner. (I think)
Changes in the Crypt: -Changed the ambient lighting to a darker setting. -Changed most of the Dwemer chests

💡 Beginner Tips

- Check the mod's file structure after download to ensure you place the .esp and meshes/textures in the correct Data Files folder.
