Description
The Major Cities Mesh Overhaul mod is a collection of many mesh fixes and improvements for the main cities of Skyrim. The goal was to polish and fix the existing exterior objects and buildings in and also around major cities. The following cities have received overhauled meshes: Whiterun, Riften, Solitude, Windhelm, Farmhouses, Skaal Village. There is also an optional ESP, which adds some decorative moss and water splash effects to Whiterun.

Also availble for Xbox One on Bethesda.net.


Installation

Download and install the manual version or use your favorite mod manager.

Compatibility

In general the mod without ESP is compatible with any city overhaul mod, since it does only change the meshes and not the placement of world objects.
However there are some incompatibilities with mods, that also change the meshes of city buildings, terrain or objects.
If you are using ELFX Exteriors, install ELFX first and then overwrite with my mod.
You can safely overwrite Skyrim particle patch for ENB
If you use the Whiterun Mesh Fixes or Solitude Mesh Fixes mods by MrNeverLost, also install those first and then overwrite when prompted.
If you want to use 3D Solitude Market Trellis by RedBag, install my mod first and then overwrite the meshes.
If you use city retexture mods like High Fantasy Whiterun, you will have to install my mod first and then overwrite it with the texture mod.
You should install Water in Wells after this mod. Does only affect the well in Whiterun.
Also install Skyrim Landscape and Water Fixes after my mod, if you want to use it.
If you use Simplicity of Snow install my mod first and then overwrite. This will only affect the stablekit meshes.
