Never liked how you could loot the public crates in Balmora.... is there a mod which makes them illegal like all the other towns? If not how would I go about making this mod myself?

*edit - can I set the game timescale via the Morrowind.ini file?

I don't know if someone has made a mod for it (probably though), but to make it yourself simply give ownership of the crates to someone.

So I would have to edit each individual crate? I'll look at doing it.

Also do I need to enable a merged object esp in wyre mash?

It would only take a minute to place Ownership on the crates.

You could choose the NPCs that walk the streets to own them, or just any random NPC.


You can change the Timescale with the console.
Set Timescale To #


# is the value you want. 1 would be equal to real time (24 hours for a day.) The default is timescale 30.

Not for making this crate mod, no.

>is there a mod which makes them illegal like all the other towns?
No idea, it seems something BTB mods could tackle though
it would very easy to do, select cell in CS, click type header in the cell references list to sort by container, select container crates, double click one of the selected containers, assign ownership (e.g. to a guard) to them all
>can I set the game timescale via the Morrowind.ini file?
not that I know, you can set time scaled cloud speed there I think. To set timescale you have to open the game console and type
set timescale to XX
where your XX is e.g. 10 (30 is the default)
[EDIT]typos

@ Pluto yeah I know about console but was hoping it could be done via the ini, nvm.

I was speaking generally about the merged object esp, do you need to enable it like any other mod? Or is like grass mods which dont need enabling.

Yes, you do need to enable a Merged.esp

Have it load at the bottom, with your Mashed.esp

There's the http://mw.modhistory.com/download-37-14632 mod that removes most of the free loot in crates in Balmora and Vivec. I don't know of one that just makes the crates owned though.
