Morrowind Mod: LowGenius Balmora House

23. May 2008 by John Henry

This plugin is now complete and working, and features the following:

The house is between the Balmora Temple and the stairway to the affluent part of town (where the Hlaalu houses are, near the Morag Tong guild)

The inside is furnished, somewhat;

  • a bed
  • a fireplace with an Ash Statue and some kind of 6th House decoration,
  • a shelf with some candles and a fancy helmet on it
  • several very special hutches which have a huge encumberance level  (99999, I think) and can be used to store all manner of things without having to skitter all over Morrowind trying to remember where you hid them.  I use the hutches like so -
    • 1 for storing soulgems
    • 1 for storing scrolls
    • 1 for storing books
    • 1 for storing apparel and armor
    • 1 for storing marksman weapons
    • 1 for storing other weapons
    • 1 for storing rare artifacts, mostly things like the Dwemer Coherer, Ornate Dwemer Pitchers and Bowls, etc
    • 1 for storing alchemy tools and ingredients
    • 1 for storing potions
    • 1 for storing keys, lockpicks, and probes
    • 1 for storing rings and amulets
  • several tables to display your spoils on
  • several potted plants
  • bookshelf (use the Book Rotate mod from morrowindfiles.com to place your non-levelling books on this, if you'd like)
  • a large decorative dwemer head hanging over the bed
  • a set of Secret Grand Master's Alchemy Tools, located on a table at the far right end of the room, as you're facing in from the main hallway
  • a couple of tapestries
  • a "special" book (located on the shelves) which is the beginnnings of a Morrowind Diary that I started and never finished.  It serves as a nifty little artifact from my character, nothing more.  I don't even think it levels you up.
  • another wall shelf, currently empty

There are also two "special" doors - one leads to the Vivec Library (handy for moving to the south side of Vivec rather than having to walk there from the Mage's guild), and one that leads to the Bazaar in Mournhold.  ***I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS DOOR WILL REACT TO A GAME WHICH DOES NOT HAVE THE TRIBUNAL EXPANSION INSTALLED***  The Mournhold door is included because it's just a pain in the butt to have to go all the way to Ebonhart every time I want to go to Mournhold.

The exterior of the building shows some neat skinning effects.

Note for "purists" - there are a couple of things in this mod that can upset the "balance" of the game; however, you don't have to use them, they can just as easily serve as decorations.

TO INSTALL

Unpack the zipfile to your Morrowind directory.  The necessary file paths from there down are included.

Update:  Fixed Broken Link 29.Apr.09
