About this mod

Bugfixes, improvements and additions to the wonderful ClefJ’s Dragon Bridge.

Intro:
I adore ClefJ’s Dragon Bridge and I could not imagine my game without the stunning architecture added by the original mod. Dragon Bridge is on route to the grand capital of Skyrim, Solitude and therefore should represent this magnificence. ClefJ did a fantastic job of making Dragon Bridge look like the important place it should be. However, unfortunately ClefJ’s mod did have a couple of bugs and problems, and a few features I would class as un-lore-friendly or slightly unbalanced. My mod aims to address these issues.

Requirements:
ClefJ's Dragon Bridge: 
You MUST install ClefJ’s original mod first, the meshes and textures from there are still required to be installed. This mod will add different meshes and textures and overwrite/replace the esp.
Landscape Fixes for Grass Mods: 
If you have a grass mod installed (such as Verdant), I strongly recommend you use Landscape Fixes for Grass Mods (find the 32-bit Skyrim version in the miscellaneous files). Without this mod Dragon Bridge will be bit of an overgrown jungle, but this mod will sort this out and make the paths clear of grass.

What This Mod Does:
This mod is basically a patch, but rather than taking up more space in your load order, it simply replaces the esp.
My Changes:
  • Fixed the ‘falling through the earth/floor’ bug when entering the General Goods store, you’ll now enter with your feet firmly on the ground just like you’d expect when entering any other door.
  • Fixed the physics on the hanging Thane. I found that he would often spasm all over the place and end up curled up on the ground. I made a couple of changes to him (and the note stuck to the post) to make things stay in place where they should be.
  • Replaced some of the features from Solstheim. Sorry, I know the lanterns are much nicer than the boring old Skyrim ones, but I just couldn’t put up with Dunmer Architecture in the Nordic Capital. So, I replaced the lanterns back to the vanilla ones and removed the Solstheim mushroom.
  • The General Goods Store now opens 8am-8pm and will be locked out of these hours. The Shopkeeper has been given AI packages so that she will stand at the counter during work hours, sandbox in her home after work, and sleep in her bed 12am-8am.
  • Fixed the shopkeeper’s grey-face bug. In the main version, she has also had a makeover using modded assets (skin, hair, eyes, etc.) to make her blend in more with other NPC makeover mods such as Bijin. However, if you do not like this look then you can use the optional file which keeps her as in ClefJ’s original mod using only vanilla assets.
  • Added a new Blacksmith to the outside of the Penitus Oculatus Outpost. The area now has a forge, a grindstone, and a tanning rack as well as the original workbench. A new NPC named Salvatore will work as the Blacksmith here 8am-8pm, and will Sandbox and Sleep inside the Outpost (an extra bed has been added which he owns) out of hours. You will also find levelled items cluttered around the area (ingots, leather, weapons, armor) which he will also sell in his Blacksmith Inventory.
  • Tweaks to Navmesh to avoid NPCs walking into the forge etc.
  • Removed the hostile-looking iron bars from outside the inn and inside the General Goods Store. This is a personal preference choice and I know features like this are found in other popular mods such as JK’s work, but I simply don’t like them.
  • Added lighting and made lights brighter in the General Goods Store and ‘player home’ Dragon Thane Tower. I found these rooms to be simply too dark when using ELFX.
  • The Executioner’s Chest will now be stolen from, I didn’t like that the stuff inside was just free to take including the key to the Tower. So, you now have to take things stealthily if you want to loot and have player home access to the Tower.
  • Decorated the General Goods Store. I replaced the iron bars with a longer counter cluttered with levelled items on sale. You can actually buy these items – they will be in her buying inventory and you will see them disappear from the counter top. I also fixed the fireplace in the back room, before there was earthy terrain spilling over the floor – this is gone now.
  • Made a few other tweaks to the General Goods Store, including adding gold and gems to her strongbox and fixing the ownership on her items.
  • The doors found on the village walls which previously required a key and did not actually lead anywhere have been made into statics which can’t be interacted with. Please note the doors on the front wall can still actually be used to access the top of the wall.
  • Cleaned with TES5edit – Undeleted and Disabled References, Removed ITMs, fixed a deleted Navmesh, and removed the Riverwood Navmesh Wild Edit.
