📋 About This Mod
Discontinued, might update it one day.
This is a lore-friendly population mod, that adds 186 unique and handcrafted NPCs to Mainland Morrowind cities and towns of Tamriel Rebuilt.
Most of them are Dunmer commoners indistinguishable from base game NPCs.
This is a very simple mod: there are no additional bandits, monsters, vampires, weird people, easter eggs or anything that breaks immersion. My goal was to keep this mod close to vanilla aesthetics.
The goal of this mod is to make beautiful TR cities feel more alive and inhabited.
