Northern Concept - Northern Roads
Ground Dirt Now a drier, gravel-like path with some cart treads in largely travelled areas and less weeds sprouting around the path
Ground Mud More emphasis on the dirt and also fallen leaves that have been tread on by both people and animals
Dirt Dry A cracked dirt path that is devoid of much moisture due to the mountainous region it traverses
Ground Stone Now a more developed style of cobblestone that reflects the natural stone of the mountainous region
Volcanic Tundra A rocky dirt texture that reflects the stone and tundra regions of Skyrim
Architecture and Clutter
Included in the FOMOD is the option to use a set of custom Northern Roads architecture, clutter, stonewall and bridge meshes that will use your own installed textures where possible, and retain custom textures where it is not. The custom meshes also come with many fixes to improve lighting, blending and texture UV maps.
NOTE: Texture UV maps follow vanilla tracings, so texture replacers that have their own UV styles may require patching to work properly
If you have Base Object Swapper, there will be distribution of bridge, clutter and architecture variants among the different regions of Skyrim. The following mods have also been included in the BOS SWAP logic:
NOTE: JPSteel2's Small Nordic Tent has been included as part of this by default
Northern Concept - Northern Shorelines
An extension for Northern Roads that looks to improve the coastlines of Skyrim using the same aesthetics and styles. Many areas have had alterations made to the landscapes to improve blending, height and collisions, and some have newly added clutter, campsites and treasures. Also included are waves across the coasts of Skyrim for greater immersion.
NOTE: currently not compatible with any mods that make large alterations to the coastline, add their own version of waves or add new land masses to the oceans of Northern Skyrim
Patches
