📋 About This Mod
IMPORTANT - READ BEFORE UPGRADING:
In order to improve compatibility with other add-ons (like Dawnguard) and to facilitate future upgrades, the mod is now a Masterfile.
If you are upgrading to the Masterfile version from any version 3. 1 or earlier, YOU MUST REMOVE ANY ITEMS YOU HAVE STORED ANYWHERE ON THE SHIP, AND MOVE YOUR SPOUSE OUT, OTHERWISE THEY WILL BE LOST. Once the Masterfile is loaded, it will be safe to move them back in.
Packaged with the Masterfile is the Update Plugin, through which all fixes, tweaks, and new additions will come. This is so you do not have to move all your equipment out of the ship and then back in with every new update. Those who are updating from version 4. 0 to 4. 1 should not have to worry about this, since the masterfile itself is virtually unchanged, and the game will not know the difference. That being said, do exercise caution, and back up your saves before upgrading. After activating the mod with the NMM, look in the "plugins" tab and make sure both the "okaazah.esm" and "okaazah_update.esp" files are there in your load list.
DEVELOPMENT LOG - DECEMBER 2013:
Here is a preview of the retextured ship
DESCRIPTION:
Can't find a house in the game that suits you? I know I couldn't. So, I created my own place to live - the Okaazah (draconic for "Sea Hunter"), and now I'm sharing it with you. Once the pride of the Imperial fleet, the Okaazah has been stolen, salvaged, lost, and re-named many times, and has finally been stranded on Skyrim's north coast, captainless - until the Dragonborn came along.
The ship is moored off of the north coast, just northwest of Solitude - you can fast-travel to it straight away. It boasts full facilities for smithing, alchemy, and enchanting, as well as several mannequins and plenty of weapon racks. In the Captain's Quarters you'll find even more storage, including several bookshelves, and a player-owned bed.
Also, there is an optional Dawnguard Extension for those who own the DLC. This plugin adds a new ship location near Castle Volkihar, which becomes available after you either accept or refuse Lord Harkon's offer. The new location is accessed by activating the Chalices found near the movement maps on the ship's deck and in the Captain's Quarters. You can also find three new plants in the garden and a new ingredient in the alchemy/enchanting/shrine room. The latest Dawnguard extension includes two new crew members, one for each side of the Dawnguard questline - Haegnar, a vampire hunter, and Talvila, a vampire. After either joining or refusing Lord Harkon, one of these two will appear on board the

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,001 endorsements and nearly 29k downloads.
- Turns your home into a mobile base—perfect for adventurers who hate fast-traveling back to a house.
- Masterfile format means fewer conflicts with other mods, which is a big plus for load order stability.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2012—likely outdated for current Skyrim versions, so expect compatibility issues.
- Crew and cannons might be more cosmetic than functional—description doesn't detail how they work.
For Skyrim players who want a unique, mobile home that feels alive with a crew and cannons. If you're tired of static houses and want a ship to sail the seas (or at least park somewhere cool), this is for you. Skip if you need modern mod support or detailed documentation.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a masterfile, load it early in your load order—before other mods that modify the same areas.
- Check if your Skyrim version is compatible; the mod is from 2012, so you may need to use a compatibility patch or SKSE.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle the masterfile and avoid manual installation errors.
