About this mod
This might be the first of 3ish textures I will make for this model. Please feel free and tell me in the comments, what kind of style you would like and for what city version. The Main file is for the recent released Bard tower addition Solitude Edition (main file on the mod's page).

First of all, I am terribly sorry I can only produce this in a low res version but that would be no problem as you see the tower only from far anyway. Make sure to run/refresh TexGen & DynDolod after installing if you want to see the tower in the landscape. I tried to match the colours of the tiles as "flexible" as possible so that it might match to many city (texture) overhauls. Personally I died a lot of my Solitude roofs blue like the palace and I might think about adding a full retexture of all city roofs in blue + the tower retexture in blue if you might be interested in that, just be open.
Custom Background story for the Solitude tower; hard to maintain because of its structural integrity to the mother-building. The thriving bards college once tried to golden the roof and most of the elements of the tower in dwemer-gold as an symbol of instrumental harmony, united in the melody of time. The only part left of the initally installed gold-work is the inner mechanism and its bell. It is said that the Bards College stopped maintaining the tower after an analyst concluded, that it would be impossible to keep the gold in its decorative shape; occasionally the current Headmaster Viarmo allegedly picks up the golden shards dropping from now and then and stores them away. A secret tradtition would be put into effect to honor special students with an instrument or a part of an instrument made out of the towers shards.
Side note, I had to retexture without an UV-map and no colouring for what vertices I will fill and paint between. So colouring might be slighty different from what you see in my game rendered version, please tell me if something is not fitting quite right.
UPDATE: I now have full permission for the assets, therefore I started to edit the mesh itself to improve some elements I want to highlight with texture ideas - for example I added a bell (with dynamic cubemaps, also for the roof) in my current draft. I am still very new on how nif files in Skyrim are getting read and after testing the new tower ingame, I got a lot of mesh errors in my CrashLog. Maybe someone kind would help me to solve this <3 once I fixed that, I will upload new versions. (Update: I fixed it, you should never scale a scene root) Here a preview:
All Credits go to ALICE3000 for making Bard tower addition! <3
PS: I don't know why Nexus tested my file as a virus, these are simply textures but I read that this happens sometimes. If you can't download it please write me/in the comments.
Unrelated but maybe useful: Load Order Issues in General?
I created a snapshot of my latest modlist as a collection. You can use that to look up where I placed mods you might also use. This modlist contains mostly very functionally or gameplay orientated mods but also experimental combinations that require manual patching. If you need help with mods, feel free to contact me! <3 Happy modding, cheers ~
