WHAT IS IT?
This is a "New Lands" mod I've been working on off and on for quite a while now. At this point the landscape of the island is complete. There is plenty to explore and discover with natural landmarks and ruins around the island. The island is completely abandoned. There is plenty of wildlife all over the place. At the moment there are no quests. I'm only one person and it took forever to get to this point. I'd love to have more time to work on it but I've got a career and family as well so I do what I can when I can. I released the same island on the old skyrim nexus but it is not anywhere near this complete. It lacks a ton of detail and had no ruins and barely any interiors. I really enjoy creating new landscapes and this started out as just a hobby that i never truly intended to get too far or too serious about. But i think it turned out well and wanted others to see. I started out creating different points of interest with different architecture styles but eventually did away with certain areas that I made in favor of a more cohesive "Ancient Dwemer Theme" to make it feel more immersive. I kept the towers the same cause I wanted them to remain open with no loading screen and I don't think there is a Dwemer tower that is like that. Also there was no Dwemer lighthouse and I thought it looked cool so I kept it. There are 24 Points of interest at this time. All with discoverable map markers.
HOW TO GET THERE
There is a ship at the Solitude Docks. Alternatively hitting the ~ key and typing cow TheIsland -10, -2 will bring you to where the ship would bring you.
FUTURE PLANS
I am beginning to add all the necessary items, ingredients, plants, animals, etc. for a survival style game. Once it's complete you can download the awesome HUNTERBORN, CAMPFIRE, and iNEED mods and play as if you were stranded on the island and have to survive. (I always play Skyrim with those mods)
MODDER'S RESOURCE
Anyone that wants to create quests and story content but doesnt want to have to create an entirely new land or wants a new area other than Skyrim can absolutely do whatever they want with this mod. Change anything you want and do whatever you want to it.

note: I had Skyrim Flora Overhaul installed as well but was getting a weird bug/effect in the plains area. The grass had huge stripes where some would be lush and the striped part was scattered and ugly. I don't know if it's something in my mod or what but uninstalling SFO fixed it.
note: If you arent using Verdant then the grassy plains area will have fern grass everywhere. I liked the grasses attached to pineforest03 texture better than the regular fieldgrass02. (which is the standard green grass in skyrim)
