After all, there aren't a lot of safe places to sleep in Morrowind. In addition, an interior cell that is not locked may have a chance of new squatters occupying the property again. To get the squatters to vacate, they would need to be killed, intimidated, or reasoned with. What's the purpose of having a butler if it isn't to keep the riff-raff out?Ī simple version of the script would make it so that any door in the game that is not locked and unoccupied by an NPC would have a chance of a squatter or squatters taking up residence. Such a script/mod would add some utility to the lock spell and having companions, as well as add some realism to the game.
Given all the 'vacant houses' mods in the game, and other empty locations, I think it would add some realism to include squatters.
