24.12 [December 22, 2024]
General notes
- Release 24.12, “Firemoth Rekindled,” is intended to be played with Tamriel_Data v11.0 or later.
- This is a major content release. Additional content has been added to TR_Mainland.
- Starting from this release, TR_Mainland includes an overhauled version of the vanilla Siege at Firemoth add-on. By default, the mod is incompatible with the vanilla plugin or third-party mods that edit its content. Tamriel Rebuilt provides an optional plugin TR_Firemoth_Vanilla_Patch.esp that restores the original version added by Bethesda. Load order is Siege at Firemoth.esp -> TR_Firemoth_Vanilla_Patch.esp. Third-party mods will require separate compatibility patches.
- Starting from this release, Tamriel Rebuilt and Project Tamriel introduce unified cross-project integration variables added to Tamriel_Data. Extra content may be enabled in Tamriel Rebuilt if other province mods are installed.
