Is there any word yet about using the maps outside of Skyrim? Morrowind, Cyrodiil, Hammerfell.. etc. I would like to be able to use Elsweyr to create a large desert biome. I think there could be some great Khajiit quests and its one biome that we havn't really seen yet.

Uhh, it's most likely possible...but you realize where Elsweyr is in relation to Skyrim, right?

I do.. and I've seen the "noclip" video... I dont think its there, but I can still hope

The land outside is only generated for LOD, so it isn't usable. But people are working on heightmaps for all of Tamriel.

Thanks... thats what I was thinkin... but what about just outside of Skyrim? For example... Just on the other side of the gate to Morrowind?

Uh, i'm gonna use this thread so i don't create a thread for a quick question : Someone noticed how there's a "Elsweyr" cell in Interiors? I almost cried when i saw it, but i can't seem to do anything with it.
Someone knows what's its use ?

The "Elsweyr" Interior cell is just an object-dump of one of the devs, most likely the one who made M'aiq


As for the outside...

I'm currently working on a mod that takes place in the border area down the road from Falkreath. (i.e. between Falkreath and Elinhir)

For this purpose I placed an AutoLoadDoor in the gateway just at the end of the map beyond Haldir's Cairn. This door teleports you to a new worldspace that is a copy of the Tamriel world beyond that gate. This way I can avoid modifying the region border ("You cannot go that way") which would conflict with all other mods that try to expand this border for their own purpose.

You could do the same for the border regions to Morrowind and High Rock, or simply make your land in a new worldspace and use a ship ingame to travel to that place. The new worldspace can inherit the landscape from Tamriel, so you just need to actually find the Elsweyr region.

Of course you could untick the "border region" flag for for Skyrim's "Tamriel" region, and start building, but again, mods that just expand the border region would make your mod inaccessible, and planning a "Tamriel Rebuilt" variant for Skyrim is very "optimistic" just look at how far TR got in 10 years with Morrowind's level of detail.
