Hometowns: LotR Addon
This is an optional but recommended add-on designed for greater integration of the Hometowns Mod with LotR: Realms in Exile. While Hometowns somewhat works (see Disclaimers) as is with LotR: Realms in Exile without this addon, this mod assigns birthplaces for some starting characters which would otherwise be missing them, and compatches the LotR character GUI to allow for Hometowns birthplaces in the character age tooltip without overwriting LotR features.
For now, I have only added the birthplaces for some of the most notable characters. I have also only added birthplaces for characters whose ‘hometown’ currently exists as a title in game (e.g.no Lindon or Rivendell) However in future I would like to continue adding them, providing birthplaces for as many characters as possible, especially for characters which people love and recognise, particularly as the LotR team expand more of the map.
In order to function correctly you should load all three mods like so:
– LotR: Realms in Exile
– Hometowns
– Hometowns: LotR Addon (This)
This mod is not an official add-on of LotR: Realms in Exile, however it is an official add-on for Hometowns. If there are any issues now or in future regarding this add-on and compatibility, please direct them to me as I am the author of both this and the original Hometowns mod.
– This mod is somewhat necessary for compatibility between LotR: Realms in Exile, and Hometowns. It allows for GUI elements from LotR (e.g. the foreign tab and tributary/overlord portrait) to exist whereas without this addon they are overwritten.
– Characters created via special event (e.g. Aragorn and Arwen’s children) probably wont work, however I may look into fixing this.
– This mod is designed for use with the current main version of Lord of the Rings: Realms in Exile (v3.3), and not beta releases.
As with the original Hometowns mod:
– Birth locations are ‘lost’ on character death and will no longer display.
