About this mod

Long ago, Winterhold was one of the greatest cities in all of Skyrim. After a huge chunk fell into the ocean, the town changed from a bustling city to a bleak refuge from the north winds. But a mysterious island has now been spotted off in the ocean, west of Hela\'s Folley. Could this be the Winterhold Castle from times long past?

or.. just use Nexus Mod Manager to download/auto-install it. If you are having problems with manual install, then use NMM
