What are some good mods that add launch towers?

@JhorrigaI really don't know man. But you should think whether you'd want this yes or no. Launch towers are completely different per rocket since a different rocket needs a different launch tower. Makes sense?
Basically every rocket in KSP is user build so you'd need some kind of auto rendered launch tower per rocket being constructed. That is if you want things realistic ofcourse.  Each different launch site has different launch towers in real life.

I saw a video of a very old version of ksp before it's beta release (v0.1x) whatever it was. It had a cosmetic launch tower just outside the deployment zone of your rocket. Problem is, people build quite large rocket these days that would over encompass the restricted deployment zone if there were a launch tower.

Yeah. I just hate the fact that there is no launch tower. I don't build HUGE rockets.

Most of the launch towers out there are elaborate launch clamps. 

1. FASA - probably the most popular- available separately from the rest of the mod

2. A couple by @sciencepandahttps://spacedock.info/mod/735/Stock Launch Pads

https://spacedock.info/mod/626/SpaceX Launch Towers

3. Real Scale Launchers also has a cool  Delta IV tower.

...enjoy!

You have to remember the fact that the atmosphere was soup back then, so the standard design of large rockets was to go out horizontally instead of vertically. This of course meant that the launch tower was a big problem.
