Mournhold clockmaker is the kind of mod you do not need, but once you
have it installed and seen in-game never want to miss again. It adds no
significant functionality to the game - but a lot of eye-candy and
athmosphere.
There is a new shop in the Mournhold Craftsmen Hall, a clockmaker
selling his work. Clocks range from small and cheap portable clocks to
rather expensive big ones. Those clocks do exactly one thing: They show
the time. Nothing you couldn't achieve otherwise in the game, but not in
such a beautiful way! The clocks are masterfully rendered and even have
moving pointers, so you can drop one on the desk of your favourite home
and just know the time by _looking_ at it, unlike other clock mods which
require you do activate a clock to receive a messagebox with a text
reading the time. All clocks come with a tic-tac sound, which is quite
different depending on the type of the clock you bought. At full hour,
some clocks even play a little ding-dong sound. This really adds to the
athmosphere of your home. It might not be fitting to every home, I
couldn't imagine having one of those clocks you usually find in your
grandmothers house in say your Sixth House stronghold.
Additionally there is a small quest, as the clockmaker has a couple of
problems which need an adventurer to be solved.
Overall I consider this an excellent mod. I could play Morrowind well
without, but now as I've seen it I do not want to play Morrowind without
anymore! I meanwhile invested a couple thousand septims just to fill the
various homes my current character acquired with those spiffy clocks.
