» Sun Jun 10, 2012 6:23 am Want a more immersive Skyrim experience? Enjoy the fantastic Skyrim scenery while riding in the back of a carriage (just like in the introduction!) ScenicCarriages transforms the non-moving Skyrim carriages to a fully functional carriage network! Carriages are available in all the nine hold capitals, with destination and fees based on location and distance. Ask any driver for the "Guide to ScenicCarriages" for an in-game list of routes and maps. While riding, you have the option to get out along the way (and kill off that dragon that's been circling overhead) before continuing to your destination, or you ask the driver to "Wake you up when you arrive."
For the less hardcoe player, there's Expanded Vanilla travel offering pickup locations outside all the nine hold capitals with destinations to most towns & villages in Skyrim!
? Two Travel Modes - choose in-game between Scenic Travel or Expanded Vanilla (Default)
? Scenic Travel - ride in the back of the carriage with option to get out along the way (or sleep)
? Expanded Vanilla - expands the original carriage system with drop-off service to most towns/villages (see list below)
? Expanded carriage locations - added carriage pick-up service to all the hold capitals
? Travel Encumbered - now you can travel the carriage system even while encumbered
? Scenic Travel carriage fees and routes are based on location and distance
? Switch travel modes in-game, anytime (while not riding!)
ScenicCarriages 1.1 was just released. It's available from:
Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=72443228
Nexus: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/15094
Now that version 1.1 is released with support for followers to ride in the carriage, I'm looking to polish up the mod. I just got a volunteer to create carriage sounds, which will be great. I'm still looking for someone who can do some new animations to remove the "prisoner" look of the current Bethesda animations. If anyone is interested, please let me know!
Comments and suggestions welcome!
