    There's an expansion to this mod that adds walls, guards, servants, blacksmith and bard.
    You can find it here: Valsteinn Castle Expanded

    Can you please, add LOD for your mod?

    I've recently installed the Eagles Nest castle. That castle is visible from the distance due to the Vanilla LOD addon. That's a really nice feature as it helps blending the new architecture in game's worldspace. I've immediately come to thinking about the Valsteinn Keep. Because the Valsteinn Keep is definitely worth being called a Skyrim's sight to see and it is worth being visible from the distance. Besides, it's always a hit to immersion when huge things like towers and other architectural objects disappear as soon as you step a few units away from them.

    So, I suggest you, Paul, to think about my suggestion and do a favour to your WONDERFUL mod!!!
    (I wonder if it's hard to achieve tho... Have no idea about that.)

      LOD meshes are included in the file, but I always use DynDOLOD for generating LOD because it's more convenient

      I have a weak machine. I do not use DynDOLOD. I have no idea how to generate lod.
      Eagle's Nest LOD addon contains four .BTO files located in this folder:
      meshes\terrain\tamriel\objects\
      That's what I am asking you for.

    Very cool castle, reminds me of Rochester, typical Norman keep.  Love it, great work.

      You need a mod like "My Home Is Your Home" or "Followers can Relax"

    Mod Organizer isn't able to open this file.  I tried just opening it outside of MO with 7-zip,  but that program won't open it. Help? I have no idea why it won't open.

      After downloading, unzip it, name the folder data, compress the data folder, and temporarily edit any name. After that, you can install it through mo.
      I hope the translation software will inform you of my intention

    Are you sure you shouldn't also credit B5Icepick for using his keep model from his mod The Normans? Because it looks like you did.

      Hi! I’ve used this mod and have unpacked the bsa’s and inspected the nifs and I can assure you after looking at pics from the mod you linked, that the two keep models are very different. The Norman Keep model in this mod has completely different merlons/crenellations and a much different base and has more stone trim details. This model is better and different. A very iconic look though.

    I really love your building!  The exterior reminds me of the Fighters Guild building in Daggerfall, updated for Skyrim...

     Beautiful presentation in the screen-shots, nicely done. Is the upper parapet and roof accessible? I would love to be able to see approaching raider's and rain hell down upon them. How about a mote in a future update?  Thank you for the Mod, concur with the other respondents, nice medieval feel to it.

       I'm downloading it now. I guess I'll see if there's roof access for myself, Thank you.
