Back in production, please forgive the deleted posts the information is outdated or obsolete and a few basic ideas for this mod have changed. I find it helps to externalize my thoughts via a blog diary as I often get conflicted about what should be changed about the environment since this will be an Open-World game space.
I did intend to restart sooner but I decided to wait for Skyrim ' Remastered' which was an utter waste of time since there is nothing new or special about modding it (I'd hoped for some Fallout4 type updates) So this mod will be for the Original Skyrim Release Last time when I started this project I started with the Hazuki House and started working my way down, my first conflict being that the building exteriors were too small for the interiors (Ryo's house being the most standout area) and I do want to create more house interiors. This Time Ive started at SEA LEVEL with the DOCKS and since the Interiors and Exteriors are basically the same there is no Issue.
When it comes to the road connecting the DOCKS and DOBUITA with 'Wish Road' I expected it to be quite seamless and thought that Dobuita just connected to the end of where the 'Race to the Docks to save Nozomi begins'. but looking at the journey home I realized that Ryo makes a few turns and I struggled to find how they connected.
Then eventually I realized that the race to the docks and the love song home ARE ENTIRELY DIFFERENT MAPS!! The Journey home also is FULL of Hollywood Green Screenery in which Ryos bike bounces all around the map to show different cinematic shots.
The messed up map in the bottom right of the picture shows the Bike Journey Home from The Dock Gates to the Entirely different tunnel that Ryo came out of (and yes there is a second roads that goes into a tunnel above but this isn't that either)
Also I wonder if you have noticed that Ryo gets on and off the bus on the same side of the street, this can only mean that there is a ring road at the docks and Dobuita for this Bus Service.
Its unlikely that I will ever make 'Wish Road' a free roam area but It should be possible for me to show the entire length of a bus ride in game and also add other moving cars.
Ultimately I will combine both of the maps, but just to be extra OCD about it I will make sure that the mountains and the sea are in the right places, my main focus now is to import the Docks into Skyrim
