📋 About This Mod
I absolutely love Abot's travel mods, but Abot's Boats has some animation issues in OpenMW. I refuse to remove Abot's Boats from my load order, but the issues with the sails kept breaking my immersion, so I had to do something. I don't know enough about Morrowind animations to fix anything, so I came up with this ugly fix. I took the vanilla mesh, slapped a door on it, rotated it around, and renamed it so that it would replace the original meshes from Abot's Boats. They have no animations, no sailor, they look a bit like ghost ships, but the sail is in the right place so it doesn't break immersion for me. This is not an esp replacer, just a mesh replacer.
Special thanks: Abot for making the travel mods.
This mod replaces the ships from Abot's Boats with a vanilla ship model to fix animation issues in OpenMW. It's a quick fix for players using that mod with OpenMW, with 59 endorsements and last updated in July 2022.
