Hello, I may have misread, but even if we leave the winter season, is it compatible with Seasons of Skyrim ? Seeing green foliage in the middle of winter is... difficult for me.
It's now one of the mods I can't live without, along with Lux, Embers XD, ENBLight or Open Cities. I use a mod that synchronizes Skyrim with the month, day and time in real life. It changes everything.
I bet it makes all the difference in the world. I haven't played the game for fun in along time so even tho I may have some of the mods, I don't get to enjoy them as I am in and out of the game pretty quick for testing. For all I know, I have Seasons of Skyrim installed but just forgotten about in my stack like so many others. I don't know when I will get around to looking into it but I will keep it in mind for future update :-)
yeh. Glad you like it. I have no clue what happened to this mod. Its always been quite professional in stealthing its way under all radar. Figured its time to do a few brush strokes on it and let it return once again to being a ghost
I've had a difficult time modding my Whiterun because so much is incompatible with one another. This mod, however, is a solid addition to my load order because it easily fits in with so much. I'm working on a build for The People of Skyrim Complete and it's compatible with that. When using Whiterun Bent Pines, one of the bent pines it adds is plunked in the same place as the bent pine in your mod! (Modders think alike sometimes!) No big deal, just an fyi. Otherwise, it seems to play nicely with a lot of other mods and it looks beautiful. I'm always itching to add more nature, gardens, plants, etc to my game because Skyrim is a little to drab for my tastes. The rustic vibe gets old after a couple thousand hours of playing in it. Haha. This is gorgeous though and I always stop to take a look at the scenery, so thank you so much for a beautiful and creative addition!
Yeh no worries. Its a far older mod I made and to be honest, if and when I come back to it, there would likely be a lot of implementation approaches I would change as opposed to how it is now. That's just the way it be when authors skills advance and older works remain still. Come back to something years after, shake your head be like "man, why did I rig xxx this way or that way"? That's just the nature of the beast. It is very compatible to the vanilla towns design if whatever mod does not redesign the area there. No navmesh edits and I try to only add where other mods didn't. I wonder if Bent pine added a tree in that area in a newer build cuz I never remember one around there. Hmmm. Well, the bent pine I placed is staying regardless as I took a large amount of care in its placement so it does not obstruct the camera from taking nice screenies approaching the Dragonsreach. I wanted the reach to be in constant noteworthy view ascending the stairs from bottom to top. That's why i chose the side it exists on and rotated/oriented it so particularly. Just console disable any interfering one from the real Bent Pine mod. Who wants another plugin in LO for something as petty as that. Anywho, glad your liking it
For anyone wondering, this doesn't work with Holds expansion. I have colorful critters installed and that spawns critters above certain plants. There are an abnormal amount of critters above the ponds so the plants load but can't be seen. I walked through the pond and didn't collide with anything so I'd assume the data is there but no models are loading.
I come back to skyrim after 3 years and find this beauty. How this mod didn't get more attention? Downloading and endorsing. Kudos to you. I think it is a shame you didn't get at least a few hundred endersoments. :( And I really believe it's totally lore-friendly. Eldergleem + this, makes sense why all holds of skyrim envy Whiterun.
Yeah, the endorsement thingy, meh, it doesn't bother me too much. It is what it is sometimes. One day I will come back to this. This kind of mod would definitely not suite Whiterun if it wasn't modded additionally. Vanilla Whiterun plus the DEAL = Bad combination. DEAL stands out too much and the rest of Whiterun looks like; ehh, well we all know Vanilla Whiterun. I don't really like a few things I choose at the time that I did. Optimization wise; I need to go on a model partitioning frenzy to have more flexibility with lighting due to the engines lighting limitations. Hmm; maybe I will start on that sooner then later.
Great! Thanks for your effort. I liked it but I understand the explained inconsistencies. I use Jk's Skyrim?, I believe it will be less of a shock. Be well. :)
Any chance for a version independent of open Cities Skyrim? Nevermind. I looked at the requirements but didn't read everything. Looks like the FOMOD will select. Going to add this to my load order!
I love this mod!! It truly adds something much needed for the pools of Dragonreach. I am noticing however, if I fall into the top pools and come out of the water, I still hear the sound that plays when submerged into water, also if I descend to any lower part of white run my screen goes blue as to look like I am in water but am not. The only mods I have for Whiterun are Capital Whiterun Expansion, JK Skyrim, and Fortified Whiterun, which I believe have no effect on the pools.
If you mean your entire hud is still as though you are submerged; yeah, I have experienced this before but all over the game. I don't know what its from to be honest. Its nothing at source rooted from this mod. Its got to be some sort of hud/water bug and although I have had it tons of times all over; I have never really investigated what causes it. I know; its very weird. You will literally be swimming on dry land in a submerged fashion. I don't use any of those mods you describe there in your list and even when I don't have DEAL on in my load order also; I still can get it from time to time so it has nothing to do with this or any of those mods your using in that list described.
