- Updated clutter models.
- More clutter.
- Optional Road Plugin, this does not effect mods that add new area's with roads.
- Updated Compatibility patches for Legacy of the Dragonborn, Interesting NPC's, Unofficial Skyrim Patches and No Snow Under Roof.
Version 0.0.8
- Fixed the collision in the Solitude Public Bath so that the Dragonborn can take a bath in the changing room and not walk on the surface of the water.
  
  Horses stabled in Dawnstar are now marked as owned and stealing them is now considered a crime!
  
  A table in the Falkreath Bank has been slightly moved to remove a mesh flicker.
  
  Fixed the purple texture on the windows of the Falkreath gate.
  
  Changed the Tundra Rest Design a bit (Interior) to make some sense of the firepit in the middle of the room. There is now an opening in the ceiling and the second floor allowing heat to pass upwards.
  
  Less buildings in Dawnstar and Falkreath have a LOD mesh model to help with performance making it less troublesome to travel to the town, or walk on the walls.
Version 0.0.7
- Re-implemented Falkreath and Dawnstar cities, and the Solitude exterior from scratch, and thusly cleaning off many of the bugs and CTD issues. Falkreath exterior CTD issue is fixed, the Dawnstar Salty Alley at night CTD issue is fixed, Solitudes CTD issue, and Dragon combat within Falkreath or Dawnstar CTD issue is fixed.
  
  I have re-done the building meshes for Dawnstar and Falkreath making the buildings have far more detail and feel less flat. Normal map has been properly included as well as far more shapely mesh. Fix to many NIF-errors that meshes had.
  
  Falkreath now has new walls and towers that fit more with Skyrim's viking/nord/barbarian genre while still keeping its Colovian themes.
  
  Dawnstar's longhouse: The Whitehall now has its own building mesh which includes dragonhead figurines, a proper roof and other minor tweaks.
  
  Solitude no longer has a tunnel at its entrance. You will instead enter into a district that stretches from the main gate all the way to the gate that leads to the Winking Skeever. This new district includes new buildings, a statue and much more. A blacksmith, a butchery, a magic curiosity store, and a public bath. Some other new buildings are not accessible at this time, which also includes some new area's of the sewer. These will become available in later updates. The new district connects to the old district that you entered after exiting the tunnel. The last district however as you pass the instrument shop has been completely reworked. Where as it previously as a stair-filled open area it is now far more detailed and includes narrow passages and new buildings.
  
  There was a bug in Falkreaths cemetery that would prevent NPC's from walking to Corpselight farm and would instead walk around and into a mountain. ... this odd habit has been fixed and NPC's will instead head past the lumber-mill as intended.
  
  Custom Clutter used in Holds have had their quality updated along with the buildings.
  
  Compatibility patches have been updated to work with 0.0.7: Very important to update them if your using 0.0.7
  
  0.0.7 also includes DynDOLOD compatibility and should work. (This is a fix I will have to include everytime I update the esp sadly).
  
  There are some other minor fixes, such as seeing through invisible texture on some of the buildings and more.
Version 0.0.6
- Made numerous tweaks to the AI packages and excess un-used NPC's in the Solitude Dock District and walkway to make the area more compatible with mods that uses heavy scripts on NPC's within the same location as the player.
  
  Updated 2 more buildings in Falkreath.
  
  Switched the Seven Goblets Sign which originally was a Silverblood Inn sign with a proper custom Seven Goblets Tavern sign.
Version 0.0.5
- Fixed Dragon Combat issue in Dawnstar. Problem was apparently linked to the ridiculous number of dragon landing spots.
  
  Solitude's instant CTD should be significantly lessened with this patch, however the problem can still occur given that there are too many NPC's in the players location at once. It should be noted that this is only a problem for script heavy games which uses locations to mark out what NPC's/objects it should effect. The Skyrim script engine cannot handle the amount of Actors / Objects it needs to effect at a given time and thereby locks and crashes. Alternatively, one can always try to disable mods such as Wet and Cold for instance, while traversing Solitude at those times during the day to see if that foils the issue, however here's an alternative: To avoid this I suggest not venturing towards the Solitude Walkway / Docks at the period of 8-9AM as NPC's tend to leave their homes all at the same time. (Better fix will be included in the future as well as an alternative patch which will move one portion of the docks residency area inside of the dock tunnel, should it be necessary).
  
  Added more detailed doorways to Falkreath.
Version 0.0.4
- Added more detail to 'Some' of the Falkreath buildings. There is still work to be done on the rest of the buildings but I'd like some feedback on this change and if people like it. The stone foundation should feel more detailed and the wooden support beams should feel less sharp on the edges.
  
  Made sure the items and objects shape nicely around the edited buildings.
  
  Added new compatibility patches:
  Clockwork, Legacy of the Dragonborn, and Real Shelter.
  
  Fixed issues with Compatibility patches:
  Interesting NPCs had a small bug in the Falkreath graveyard during the quest for Zorah when she visits a witch in the graveyard. Triggerbox has now been moved to work correctly.
  
  Fixed problem with the Arissa Compatibility patch where it wasn't working correctly at the initial starter quest. It should now work as intended.
Version 0.0.3
- 0.0.3 includes fixes to a few of the compatibility patches, and fixes to the Holds.esp.
  
  Holds.esp was supposed to have been compatible with Dyndolod in 0.0.2 but somehow that fix got lost in the upload, now it should be there.
  
  There is also an update to the assets with fixes by Exoclyps who've done a great job at making fixes to many of the meshes. While not all meshes are fixed we expect to continue this work and find ways to improve the assets of this project.
  
  The modular file (HoldsResources.esm) has been updated to 0.0.1a to make it compatible with the new assets.
  
  Fixes include: Lod will now stop being lazy and go to work, a conflict with Interesting NPCs. USLEEP fixes a few assets, including Windhelm dirt ground which has caused a flicker in the new residential district.
Version 0.0.2
- Fixed the loot-able chests and gold-piles in the Falkreath Bank, taking them now is considered stealing.
  
  Added preferred path to the Solitude tunnels to see if that fixes an issue some users are having with traveling NPC's never entering Solitude. (Alternatively they could use the optional skip the Solitude tunnel patch, if this still doesn't fix it :) )
  
  Taking junk from the chests outside of Falkreath, the ones belonging to the Redguard merchants will now be considered stealing.
  
  Dyndolod should now work :) But create the LOD without the compatibility patches activated.
  
  We are still looking into the Dragon Combat problems in Dawnstar and Falkreath. I have done some excessive testing today and spawned up to 4 dragons in Falkreath. No problem. But even 1 in Dawnstar can after a short while turn into a crash, sometimes it doesn't though.... Which leads me to believe that the problem has to do with the memory, or engine, and not with the actual cell. If someone else knows what the issue might be please feel free to lend a hand, otherwise I would think that this would be fixed when the Skyrim Remaster comes out and we'll get an upgraded engine :)
