Story behind the mod:
This mod came about because after having used Better Cities for a while, and then removing it again due to various reasons, I felt that something was missing in the cities to make them more lively. I added more NPCs but still felt something was missing. Then I came across the mod "RedBag - Imperial City Pack by RedBag" which had a very interesting take on the Market District. A more rugged and poor version. I liked it but the whole mod did much more than just change the Market District so I had to drop it. Following this I came across some really awesome resource mods (see credits) which let me to this mod.
I've always wanted there to be places you could go for a quick meal, but in Cyrodiil you only have the option of going to the inn/tavern and buy the individual food items that make up a meal. Therefore I decided to have more outdoor food vendors so you could readily grab a prepared meal before going off on adventure.
In order to accomplish this I had to use food resources from other modders and that is why this mod requires both COBL and Strotis new food by stroti.
As of version 1. 9 Strotis new food is no longer required but the older version still require it. (https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/41324)
Special features:
- Many new unique delicious dishes, bread, cakes and drinks for sale in the various cities.
- Useful maps can be bought at Anvil harbour.
- Curious potions and poisons can be acquired from the mage potion master in Bravil.
- Hidden treasures in Bravil to be found by acrobats.
- All landscape fixes from my other mod Market District Landscape Fix and Imperial City Landscape Fix has been incorporated into this mod.
- New weapon and armor:
The hunter in the Arena District sells special arrows.
The smith in Skingrad sells high class weapons and armor including a daedric shield with a special scripted magical ability.
- You can enable a rowboat if desired which can take you to and from the strange island (SI) in the middle of the Niben Bay.
- Musicians with working animations and various audience showing up for each session. Check their schedules or you will likely rarely see them.
