📋 About This Mod
Boat Rides V1. 4 Description: This mod adds the ability to buy passage on boats to other locations. Think back to the wonderful days of Morrowind. It\'s very similar and easy to use! It was designed to help those out that don\'t like to use fast travel (such as myself) but still every now and again would like to get somewhere faster than a horse could take. Directions: There are five places that the player can find a rowboat with two seats and a sailor sitting/waiting for a passenger. Talk to the sailor and he will ask if you would like to take a boat ride. Advance through the dialouge saying yes (each trip costs you 50 gold) and then pick your destination. You will then travel to that location where another sailor is waiting in his boat for a passenger. There are 5 places to sail to/from and each has a map marker for easy navigation. Imperial City Waterfront Anvil Bravil Leyawiin and the Imperial Bridge Inn Installation: To install, unzip the files to your Oblivion/Data folder. Then activate the \"boat ride.esp\" in the data options window or in OBMM. Uninstallation: Delete the file \"boat ride.esp\" from your Oblivion/Data folder. Upgrade: To upgrade, unzip new files to Oblivion/Data folder. When asked to overwrite say yes. Current Version: v1. 4 File History: v1. 4 - fixed bug where selecting an option to travel to a dock which the player was already at would still accept payment and move the player to that dock. V1. 2 - Raised cost of boat ride to 50 gold v1. 0 - initial release Known Bugs and Issues: Helmsmen Scuttlemuch at the Imperial City Waterfront likes to walk to the temple district and back before sitting in his seat. Once seated he will stay though. I have no idea why it happens. Compatability Issues: Open Cities Reborn - it has been reported that some of the boat ride locations are blocked by this mod. I will not be fixing this issue. I don\'t use this mod so I have no way of making a patch. Someone else is welcome to create a patch...with proper credit to this mod of course. Requirements: Just Oblivion.
