I always felt that Skyrim cities are pretty well designed, but their decorations and clutter leave much to be desired. For a
vanilla purist like me, the wonderful
Spaghetti's Cities fixes much of these issues, but unfortunately it doesn't touch their
main gates. This new series aims to do that: to give more personality and details to every city entrance, making them more
believable while keeping their original designs, with no major layout changes or new assets.
Simple is better (I hope)! Also remember that I'm still kinda an
amateur modder, so if you have any suggestions and technical advices feel free to share them!
- WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THIS MOD
Everyone's favorite city has the most iconic entrance, so it was only fitting that I spent more time on this one. The stables area have been decorated with extra stuff that you'd normally find there. All interior gates are now furnished, and guards have access to more weapons and clutter. The walls received the biggest overhaul: aside from defensive palisades pretty much everywhere (to compensate for the walls laughable height), I've completed the peremiter by adding defenses in the northern side; while they are far from a realistic fortification, I think it also improves the original design without altering it too much, so you should still have a full view of the tundra.
No navmeshes edited, all new objects that may get in the way are navcut (hopefully), file cleaned and flagged as ESL, so it won't take a plugin spot. Let me know if something is wrong and I'll try to fix that!
- REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
None, the mod should be compatible with anything that doesn't touch the same areas in a heavy way. Also note that I took USSEP in consideration while making this. I was heavily inspired by the mods
Walls of Whiterun and
Lore Friendly Whiterun Walls, but neither are compatible without patch; same thing for
Fortified Whiterun.
NOTE: as always, if you want to share patches for this mod, feel free to do on your own and I'll happily post them here!
I truly wanted to thank everyone that helped me in learning the CK basics, and also all the wonderful people on Discord who answered my many and noobish questions: your patience is admirable! And of course, thanks to the authors of the mentioned mods, for giving inspiration.
