[RELz] Manor Roads

[Arthmoor]

A small landscaping tweak to connect Heljarchen Hall and Lakeview Manor to the nearby main roads. Nothing particularly fancy other than it not using the standard crappy road meshes. The roads have preferred navmesh pathing so if you're using mods that allow your spouse and/or children to travel, they'll stick to a safe path instead of aimlessly wandering the wilderness.

Thank you Arthmoor !

 

Will this mod remain AFK Mods exclusive or do you plan to release it on Nexus too ?

[Arthmoor]

Figured on keeping it an exclusive.

[Nico coiN]

It is probably debatable, but I'd say it's worth being directly included in UHFP. But I also guess you're fearing flames from heavy mod users that may experience conflicts with mods altering/expanding the 3 specific manors... ?

[Leonardo]

Well another mod from the modding maestro and any description for your mods aren't necessary to read a least for your small non-advanced mods, because the title says it all does it not.

Sounds good to me. :cookies:

Yeah, it's going to conflict with Lakeview Extended for me.

[Arthmoor]

The unofficial patches also don't do landscape edits for any reason since they're too much of a source of trouble.

[Lorelai]

Heh, was just thinking about Roads of Cyrodiil a few days ago and wondering where a similar mod could be incorporated in Skyrim. 

 

Thank you, Arth!

[Arthmoor]

Heh, this isn't anywhere near that level though. Skyrim actually has enough proper roads between places that an RoC isn't really needed

Yeah how do I do that with BOSS since the Manor Roads.esp end up of being unrecognized.  Exactly where do I place it in my loadorder I mean before or after a specific mod(s).

That's not true, BOSS has been recognizing Manor Roads for weeks.

 

I just checked and no change, it is still recognized. I'm using BOSS version 2 of course, I don't know about the beta 3.

[Leonardo]

Nope not me.  I'm using the latest stable (2.1.1) and still BOSS doesn't recognized Manor Roads.esp no matter what I do.

[Elgar]

Strange. The latest masterlist.txt is dated January 26, how old is yours ?

[Leonardo]

BOSS is back to normal behavior and I had to fiddle with it a little.
