[REL] Concept art Hlaalu Balconies

I was looking at some Morrowind's conept art when I stumbled upon this drawing. -RandomPal

One detail that really cought my eye was the balcony/staircase model. I was surprised to discovered that there wasn't a single mod that tried to implement that type of model into the game.

As of version 2.0 the model has been remade from scratch by Wolli, one of the best and most prolific modders and asset creators in the MW community.
There aren't many instances in the game where these new balconies can be used and I tried to use them well. Not every balcony has been replaced because variety is also improtant and because the vanilla balcony models are actually really good and I'd say iconic at this point.
The mod also includes simple scenic balconies as seen in concept art. I used the models provided here.


Due to the way vanilla design philosophy works, there wasn't a single place in the entire game where it made sense to use them, so it's not surprising that there isn't a mod making use of them. I expanded and tweaked 3 interior cells and replaced the exterior buildings with double floor versions to put these models to good use.
I hope you enjoy the mod!
