"Superior Rorikstead" is a mod that aims to increase the distinctiveness of Rorikstead and make it a more unique village, as a pose to the vanilla version which uses the same style as numerous other settlements in Skyrim. This is done through the use of several new lore-friendly design features and additions including:

-New farmhouse design based on the style of Whiterun's shacks. No longer do the people of Rorikstead have to suffer the same houses as the people of Falkreath, Riverwood, Dawnstar, Morthal and so on...
-Improved "Frostfruit Inn" layout and appearance. The Tavern is now a cosy haven for the people of the village and not a cold, boring set of stone rooms.
-Rorik's Manor now uses Upper furniture as a pose to Common to represent his nobility and wealth.
-Small town gates and guard posts have been added to the surrounding areas of Rorikstead to prevent pesky wolves and bandits damaging the farmers' crops.
-Lamp posts have been stationed along the main pathway through the village. The townsfolk can now see where they are going at nig ht!
-A general store is now present in town; " Green Rock Goods".
-An abandoned house, that after a short chain of objectives, the Dragonborn is able to own under the name of "Snowberry Cottage"; a beautifully designed and well-utilised player home.

Please send me a message if you encounter any problems or issues with this mod either on the Nexus or on Steam. (P.S. If you have downloaded this mod from anywhere other than the Skyrim Nexus or Steam Workshop then please let me know, as this is exclusive to these two sites.)

Q) How do I obtain the new player home?
A) To start the chain of miscellaneous objectives either enter the abandoned cottage or talk to Jouane.

Q) Why is 'Green Leaf Goods' locked during then day/unlocked at night?
A) It's a problem I sometimes seem to encounter when making packages- the NPC's occasionally choose to just do whatever they please.

Q) My follower behaves strangely in the exterior of Rorikstead. Why is this?
A) In order to make the mod as clean as possible I avoided deleting navmesh and instead repositioned it to my advantage. However, this means there are some edges that NPC's think they can still walk through, despite there being a house or wall in the way.
