📋 About This Mod
This little mod just deepens the Odai \"river\" from the pathetic wadeable little stream into a deep and boat-friendly river. Ever been frustrated by the shallowness of the \"river\" Odai that flows from Balmora to the Bitter Coast? Fear not, remedy is at hand! This mod makes boating up and down the Odai with a boat mod possible by moving obstacles and deepening shallows. I myself intended it to be used with the rowboat from Ultimate Galleon mod by Madmax, but I guess it works with any other boat mod too. It\'s too narrow for anything larger than that, though. No screenshots because there really is nothing to take pictures of. The only major thing that had to be changed was the little bridge in the middle of nowhere going over Odai. It\'s still passable, I just had to lift it a bit and add stairs to it. The passage below the bridge is a bit narrow, but it\'s doable (with the Ultimate Galleon rowboat I used for testing). Also, boating straight into Balmora is atleast very difficult if not impossible, so I added a pier a small way before the first Balmora bridge where you can dock your boat. It\'s just a few metres walk from there to Balmora gates. Added Morrowind Crafting support in new version: see Readme.txt for more info.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fills a real gap—makes Odai actually boatable, which is a niche but cool touch.
- Tiny mod, easy to drop in and forget.
- Still has a small following (30 endorsements) after all these years.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2009—likely outdated and may conflict with modern Oblivion mods or patches.
- Only affects one stream, so it's a very narrow fix.
- No documentation or install instructions provided by the author.
For Oblivion players who love immersive water travel and want to make the Odai stream actually usable for boats. Also for modders looking for a simple example of water editing. Skip if you want broad gameplay changes—this is a one-location tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an older mod, check if you have any mods that alter the same area (like landscape overhauls) to avoid conflicts.
- Use a mod manager like Oblivion Mod Manager to easily enable/disable it if you run into issues.
- If you're using a boat mod, test the river's depth right after installing to see if it's actually boatable.
