Hey, Teroku, I think you know who this is. I honestly wanna use this mod, but, my craptop cannot handle Skyrim. Could you provide a YouTube video with the mod in action?
I really love this mod, good job, is it possible to put lanterns to ensure the brightness of cities (for the night), a market square in the great city would be nice too, with a forge, of soldiers who go around the city, some of them around the city to protect the dragons and other potential enemies. Also many NPC would be even better, here is my idea that I wish to tell you. Thank you
The lanterns and market is a really good idea ,but right now I'm just trying to finish it. Once i'm done i planned on adding more NPC's ,and the "great city" your talking about has some... issues. (I could add it ,but once you get there you'll know what i'm talking about > )
I already put a town at heartwood mill in Riften ,but thanks for the pics! I don't know when i'll get to Falkreath or Windhelm ,but I'll be sure to come back here and look again ,because I saw places marked near'em.
Okay, so I see you're a beginner. You have potential. In fact, this isn't a bad start at all. You should keep two things in mind though.
1)Like JOHNBELT said, the towns should be a little scattered and disorganized. 2)Also, try not to mix architecture types, eg: Farmhouse tiles, Riften tilesets, etc.
Luckily I never thought of mixing types much ,because of the differing weather ,but it's nice to know! I like receiving advice ,and as for my next towns (ones in riften winterhold falkreath and windhelm) I'm trying to keep them close to resources and main roads ,and I'm trying to keep the homes scattered. What i need to do though is check the vanilla villages and study their layout ,but I haven't gotten to it yet.
I'm tracking this as well. One piece of advice, your towns are laid out in a very organized manner which is not normally how a town tends to expand. Generally a town, particularly in the middle ages, would follow the contour of a major road (like Rorikstead) or a geographical feature like a river (like Riverwood). Often they would radiate in a haphazard manner from a central key feature like a mine or mill (like Ivarstead) or a special building such as a church. from the limited pics, your towns seem to be laid out in a geometric pattern; neat and even streets, evenly spaced buildings that kind of thing. it lends an air of the artificial to your mod. I applaud anyone that is willing to put the time and effort into a mod and only offer my advice so that you can make a better mod for all the people like me that can't. Good luck.
Hadn't even thought of that! I nearly thought of it myself while modding ,because i noticed how a road would be difficult to place while just about every village has one ,but i didn't think anything of it. As for the resources and major features i hadn't thought of that at all thank you!
Well, I'm tracking this. Seems like an interesting idea, and while undertaking this task might not be the most epic one, it is greatly appreciated by people like me, who were baffled at the small amount of villages in Skyrim. Keep up the good work, I hope this grows into something awesome.
Just wanted to say that I too am tracking this. Have been since it was released. It's a great idea. I wish I had time to do it myself should you give up on it.
I spend my free time on the nexus looking for new mods and I found this one. It sounds like a great idea and I'm tracking it. I hope you haven't given up on this like I said will be very cool when done. Maybe a pic or two to show off the work might help a bit but anyway good luck and will be checking out this mod everyday for an update on your work. Cheers.

Otherwise, just keep at it.
