Bobbing SE

This is a ported version of the realistic boat rocking from Gandaganza. With permission. Not getting into FOMOD like Oldrim (yet).

describe

Ever wonder why boats don’t rock in the water? Bethesda did a great job adding idle animations to the ships, but sadly never added them to the game due to editing issues. Gandaganza fixed!! Now you can enjoy the gentle swing instead of staring at the cropped object!

Totally absolutely friendly and immersive. More details below.

Mod Notes

Using Bethesda's animations as a basis, Gandaganza reanimated the ship and created a secondary animation to ensure that ships in the same area were not in sync. After that, all he did was make every object on the boat follow the swing of the boat so that there were no clipping issues. In some cases the ships are moved slightly to avoid annoying clipping with docks, but not all are covered - this is due to pre-existing clipping, so it will only change (or not) on feedback.

Some positioning issues have also been fixed, such as Dawnstar's ship barrel passing through the ship.

All ships with objects on top of them were individually modified to maintain the maximum amount of detail. To prevent further problems, remove non-essential objects such as clutter (i.e. brooms) that have no solution to making them bob.

This model has been cleared in SSEEdit and every record has been checked to prevent dirty edits.

Mod Notes

Using the animation from Bethesda as a base, Gandaganza redid the boat's animations and created a secondary one to make sure that boats that were in the same area did not bob in sync. After that, all he did was make so that every object on the boats followed the boat's bobbing so that there were no clipping issues. In some cases, boats were slightly moved to avoid annoying clipping with the docks but not all were covered - this was due to pre-existing clipping and so it will only be changed (or not) upon feedback.

Some positioning issues were also fixed, like the barrel in Dawnstar clipping through the boat.

All boats that had objects on top of them were individually modified to keep the maximum amount of detail. Non-essential objects that do not have a workaround to make them bob, such as clutter (i.e. brooms) were removed to prevent further issues.
