RedBag's Solitude
Overhaul for the most beautiful city and its docks.
SSE version available



Introduction
Long before Skyrim was released, i used to look at maps of Tamriel and wonder what could this northern-most city look like. I imagined a truly special city. But after discovering it, i was left with mixed feelings. The position on the cliff is epic, but i can't really feel it when i am inside the city. Entire city is basically one long street. There are disproportionately big empty spaces in its center. And the docks are almst non-existent.

This mod adresses those issues, and makes Solitude a truly special place i imagined it would be - a city on an arch, and you will feel it!

  • 59 new citizens

Performance
