🎯 Tips & Tricks
Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage this mod, especially if you have other mods that alter carriages or boats.
Check the MCM menu after installing to toggle the optional ships at Ivarstead and Riften if you want them.
If you're using Skyrim Special Edition, you may need to convert the mod or look for a compatible version, as this was made for the original Skyrim.
