About this mod

Expansive overhaul for Dwemer Ruins of Arkngthunch-Sturdumz (exteriors with new interiors) inspired by ESO and my imagination ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

My mod does not alter original Arkngthunch-Sturdumz interior cells so it is compatible with everything!!

Designed for OPENMW but works also on vanilla engine.
