Hall of Dragonborn Optimized


I got permission from the original mod author, to release this mod version.

Original mod here Hall of Dragonborn






I like this house so much, i wanted to improve it, it was getting really laggy in some spots, the lighting was hurting my eyes (lol) and there was the mannequin issue.


Features

  • Removed all mannequins
  • Removed all lights and replaced them with realistic ones (fire camp, shadows lights)
  • Removed most of wall mounted heads to improve performance even more.
  • Remove all scripts references, dependencies and files for the containers part of the mod, that way players can try the mod/remove without fear of save bloating.
  • Added huge performance modifications to the house on every level so you can expect little to no performance issues, even with many NPC's inside and with ENB enabled.
  • Removed some shields plaque and chairs on second room to make space and put some shelves instead.



Contains

  • Shield and weapon plaque *8
  • Single weapon plaque *9
  • Plaque for 4 daggers *2
  • Special barrel for 6 staff display *2
  • Shield plaque *5
  • Weapon rack * 41
  • Large display case *2
  • Dagger display case *8
  • Bookshelf book space *242
  • Safe and Strongbox locked *4
  • Chest in big and small size locked *11
  • Alchemy table *1
  • Enchanting table *1
  • Full crafting set *1
  • Merchant *3
  • Maid *1 (sing on request, and play instrument when she feel likes to)
  • Fast Travel from the house is Allowed.
  • Key to the house can be found on the ground outside the house, just next to the door, and below the torch.





Notes


The reason i removed all the mannequins is that a lot of users including myself could never get them working and the fix for mannequins conflicts with USKP, i also find them useless.

The performance tweaks i made were because i found it strange that i was losing half my fps inside just one cell, so after some digging i found a way to improve it by a lot, without having to remove all the decorations inside. The game engine was rendering most of the stuff inside on certain spots so that caused FPS drops.

My system is a Core i7 3.8Ghz, 120GB SSD, ATI 7850 2GB@1200/5800 clocks
I run with ENB with RealVision profile and can keep 50-60 FPS at all times in all Skyrim, except this house WAS a FPS killer.




ENB

If you want the exact same lighting level/shadows that are in the screens, using RealVision, change the intensity in enbseries.ini to

AmbientLightingIntensityInteriorDay=0.25
AmbientLightingIntensityInteriorNight=0.25


Installation

Obviously this mod overwrite the original so you must take out all items from the old house mod and do a clean saving.

Save your game, then exit Skyrim and disable the old .esp, load your game, create a new savegame, exit Skyrim, then you can copy the archive content and overwite all files from this mod and load your newly cleaned savegame.
