This is unbelievable. I successfully added Sarasvati, Juniper, and Eribor to the Clever Prank mod. They are now standing alongside Thorinor in The Floating Bowl. And the CS NEVER crashed. Not one single time.
I suppose I may also add Alandis and Vendyne, but will likely not add their children since the mod would then start adding a lot of NPCs. When Basnik and Brolmir and their wives are around I'll likely just roleplay that there children are over across the border in Valenwood visiting with their grandparents, aunts and uncles and other cousins.
Quite a few times I wondered why things couldn't have been this easy when I made the mods that added Neldor, Calonir and Cariel, but the fact is I know why; those were my first Oblivion mods. I've learned a few tricks since then which made it much easier to create Thorinor and his family.
Edited to add: Oh my goodness, these character were meant to be a part of the Oblivion story. After finishing the mod that adds Thorinor and family I started wondering , "But where are they going to live?"
Millstone is too small for guests. Once Aeronwen and Neldor obtain Highwood and do the Siren quest they will have a guest house, but I don't know when they would get over.
One option of course is that Aryc allows them to stay at Red Rose Manor, but that's not exactly close to Millstone. So I started browsing mods. I figured a big fancy estate wouldn't really work since the Jackle-Thorn family isn't looking for a permanent home. They don't want to be tied down with farm animals and vineyards since their primary home is still on Vvardenfell.
Then I found this: Carahs Caravan Redux. This is SO adorable and one of the locations isn't very far from Millstone and Waterlily. Thorinor and Sarasvati could sleep in one wagon while their children sleep in the other.
It looks like there might be an overlap with Waterlily, but if so it shouldn't e too hard to move the camp over a bit.
Dalonir's head is going to explode when he finds out that Jackle-Thorn has returned to Cyrodiil.
Edit #2: Just checked. No overlap. :) They're close, but not overlapping.
