Across the Estuary 12092025

What's new in version 120925: Fixed missing facegens, added voice acting (so professional!), added another crossing at the hunter's camp below the Guardian Stones to near the exit of Bleak Falls (and back).

Okay, here's what happened - I had just accepted a very time-sensitive job for the Imperial Legion; I had to get to Korvanjund as quickly as possible to get some old crown before the Stormcloaks got there. The problem was, I had to trek miles (or kilometers, if you prefer) the wrong direction, west to Dragon Bridge then south, then finally east. It took so long, the Stormcloaks were already there by the time I arrived.

It was very annoying and made me think - why hasn't someone developed a ferry system to cross the estuary?

Now, to be fair, I am aware others have done just that, at least to some degree - there are mods that add ferries that cross the Karth before it widens to the estuary. They are either very slow (and would not allow my followers to join me, so they had to swim after the boat (in full armor! Kaiden still refuses to talk to me!)) or very janky, and do not have a way to cross to the east shore. There is another mod that gives you a "row row row your boat" option in many places, including across the estuary, but it also adds a bunch of things I do not want in my current attempted playthrough.

So I just made a quick mod to do what I want - there are three NPCs who decided to start a ferry business for the low low price of 5 gold per trip. Between the three, they made a nice triangle around the estuary so you can get from one bank to the other quickly and easily. Followers included.

One is right next to the abandoned cabin (presumably the poor guy has no idea what goes on in there), the second is on the small cove on the way to the Solitude lighthouse, and the third is on the shore a little north of High Gate Ruins and Windstad Manor (see map in pictures section).

Very simple and quick! Hope you enjoy. If you do not enjoy, then enjoy your nice swims.
