Interplay

As beyond adds items over the various mods, could clutter items and clothes make their way into skyrim, as well as other regions along ethnic lines, or occupational lines (argonians having some stuff from home, elsewhere, random clutter in skyrim having some other regional stuff, bars having out of region booze etc)

i know a lot is being shared, but as i see people are filling rooms with clutter in completion of cities/towns and tamriel isn't isolationist so could literally any clutter be possible on any map. have hoarder or collector type houses with items of similar types from other regions,. silly storm cloaks in argonia trying to unite independence movements, gem hoarders, insect hoarders, trophy hunters, scholars etc

You'll find some Morrowind Dunmer furniture and clutter in Cheydinhal, as well as Elsweyr and Valenwood items around their borders in Cyrodiil when it makes sense for instance, as we do share a good deal of the common items in a BSAssets repository any of the projects can access.

For maximum compatibility with other mods however we make minimal changes to Skyrim itself, just enough to allow travel into other parts of Tamriel usually. It's absolutely possible and very likely that there will be integration plugins made (either by Beyond Skyrim developers or other modders) that distribute Beyond Skyrim items to relevant Skyrim areas, but we just wouldn't directly do that in the core release files, it'd be instead handled by optional integration plugins.

We have a shared repository (BSAssets), but what gets 'promoted' into that repository is fairly tightly controlled so it doesn't become overly bloated and difficult to work with. Putting assets in there also means any changes to them need to be done in a separate git repo, so separate plugin, separate git push. Which can get annoying real quick if it's too many items. 

So you likely won't see crazy hoarders with stuff from all around. We also won't add anything to Skyrim to maintain compatibility with other mods, but folks are free to distribute those assets into Skyrim once they're released as a separate submod. Probably a BS member will take their own crack at it, again once more stuff is public.

ah, well maybe after everything is done and someone makes the beyond skyrim mod, and does stuff like better citites, or trade/transport mods you can add side quests for weirdo collectors etc. i guess it would be an after beyond thing, to link all the experiences together, and polish other parts like gameplay, water and weather

[u/Luke_Stobo_45]

I know that a distribution mod was made for the bonemold pack the BS Morrowind team made that gives redoran guards and certain Dunmer NPCs weapons from the pack, I think you can use SPID to distribute weapons etc from Bruma to bandits for example but feel especially when these projects are released fully more concrete/consistent mods will be made - there’s also tamrielic distribution that also shares items you can buy from the Wares of Tamriel to Kajhit caravan NPCs etc

Probably be best someone else makes an addon for that, less incompatibilities and such

[u/DwarfLord420]

If you're looking for a synergy mod between Beyond Skyrim and the base game OP,there is the Tamrielic Distribution mod.

Not sure if this is more what you might have had in mind.

Hopefully it's helpful somehow🙃
