[size=8] NO ROADSIDE WALLS OR FENCES [/size]
No Roadside Walls or Fences simply removes the stone walls and wooden fences near the main roads of Skyrim.
Any wall or fence which was obviously meant to be part of a city, town, ruin, etc. has NOT been touched. This mod ONLY removes the walls and fences located on the sides of the road in wilderness areas. Additionally, it also removes a fallen tree just outside of Dawnstar which was resting on a stone wall and two empty wheelbarrows which were oddly placed on the main road. Skyrim has plenty of wheelbarrows and I felt that these two just needlessly got in the way. This mod is comprised of a single ESP which sets the walls, fences, and a few other items to be initially disabled.
The result is, dare I say it... more immersive. Now obviously this is quite subjective, but in my opinion removing the walls and fences in wilderness areas gives these areas a more natural and lonely mood. It gives you the sense that you are much farther away from civilization than vanilla because there are no walls to suggest otherwise. Admittedly, there are all sorts of explanations for why the walls could be there, but there's also no shortage of ruins, towns, and other areas with stone walls in the game which I didn't touch. I feel these simple changes help to increase the contrast between the few civilized parts of Skyrim and the vast untamed regions.
Compatibility with other mods should be pretty solid. I know of only one other mod (Skyrim Better Roads) which edits the same items in the game and it wouldn't make sense to use it with this mod anyway. The roads and fences have only been disabled (not deleted), so any mod that does happen to conflict would simply result in a wall or fence appearing instead of being disabled by my mod. You will want to load this mod pretty high in your load order (but after the Unofficial Patches) to allow all other mods (such as Expanded Towns and Cities) to overwrite any cell edits they may need to overwrite. Any and all compatibility issues with other mods should be easily fixed by rearranging your load order.
If you happen to find a wall or fence I missed, please let me know in the comments section. :)
