About this mod
NOT A "FIX"! Workaround for a currently unsolved bug that happens during the Battle for Whiterun in the Civil War questline where Whiterun gets stuck in a permanent state of bombardment. Citizens will randomly get bombed weeks or even months after the battle, and any stay in Whiterun is sure to leave you wanting some peace and quiet.

THIS IS NOT A BUG FIX
This is a workaround for a currently unsolved bug that happens during the Battle for Whiterun quest in the Civil War questline.
I had it happen in my own game, and I searched high and low for a fix only to be met with about two posts referencing the bug on the entire internet, and both sites stating that the bug has no known fix. I didn't like this answer and decided to take matters into my own hand.
The mod is ESL-ified.
What is the bug?
In short, the bug happens after you finish the Battle for Whiterun quest during the CW questline, as you will notice the city of Whiterun is still being bombarded by the catapults. This is normal, however should stop once you have listened to Jarl Balgruufs speech and reported back to General Tullius. In this case, the catapults continue to bombard Whiterun until the end of time, weeks or even months after the CW questline has been completed. The bug is caused by multiple/undetermined factors, such as:
1. Starting the quest mid-way through the Dawnguard questline and having Serana as a temporary follower
2. Forgetting to report to Jarl Balgruuf and listening to his speech before reporting to General Tullius
3. Possibly more / unknown
For the reasons stated above it is essential and recommended that you save regularly during the questline and keep a close eye on the bug. Another seemingly unrelated bug is that forgetting to report to the Jarl and listening to his speech will keep the miscellaneous objective "Report to the Jarl of Whiterun" in your quest log and it can not be completed as the dialogue option with the Jarl is gone. This objective can however be completed with the following command:
however this doesn't stop the catapults. I don't believe that these two bugs are related, however I did also have this bug happen to me in the same run, so it is worth keeping an eye on as it might be an indication that your Whiterun has been bugged.
What is the fix?
As stated, this is not a bug fix. It is a workaround that simply removes all of the CWCatapultStrikeSpawner objects from interior Whiterun, making it so it is not possible for the bombs to ever strike. This also means that they can not strike during the actual battle either, as the spawners have been completely removed. It is however still possible for the bombs to strike outside of Whiterun, as well as in any of the other cities that are attacked during the Civil War questline.
It is not a perfect fix, as it would obviously be great to have the bombs also appear during the questline, but that is well beyond my abilities.
I hope someone found this mod useful and I hope someone finds this based off a Google search 4 years down the line. If it's currently 2028, say hello. :D
Compatibility
This should be compatible with any mod as long as it does not alter or place any of the object "CWCatapultStrikeSpawner" inside of interior Whiterun. The mod has no requirements.
