About this mod
Rodryk's models are among the best I've seen.
Thus, I made a patch cum re-texture of popular mods affecting dragon bridge.
I've further adjusted the lighting to add character and ambience that his models deserves. Plugin flagged as esl so it will not take up a plugin slot.

Rodryk’s Dragon Bridge –Myq’s Tweaks and Patches
Description
I’ve always loved Rodryk’s models but feels that its interiors are too bright and lacks a proper tavern’s ambience. This is my take of what it should be. The patches require Lanterns of Skyrim 2 and Enhanced Lights and FX.
What I did:
1. Added ELFX assets e.g. candlesmoke, fxbeamdust, etc to interiors for the immersion and atmosphere
2. Added some wall scones where I feel warranted and removed unneeded lightbulbs to circumvent the 4 lights per mesh issue
3. Manually position shadowcasting lights for best effect
4. Tweaked windows mesh to reflect and ‘let through’ more light. The color change between dawn, dusk,day, and night will be more noticeable.
5. Added an additional leanmarker in the inn.
6. Changed the textures path of interior to use default farmhouse textures. This allows you to take full advantage of retexture mods. I would highly recommend Wizkid 2K parallax farmhouse. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/39185
7. Reposition and change lantern models with their respective lightbulbs in the exteriors for variety and atmosphere.
8. Replace the impcandle models of the Penitus Oculatus Outpost facade with wallscones.
9. Added an additional lightbulb with lantern to light up the front of the Penitus Oculatus Outpost.
10. (Optional) Changed the texture path of the Penitus Oculatus Outpost to use default imperial forts textures. This allows you to take full advantage of retexture mods. I would highly recommend Wizkid Imperial Forts. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/46362
11. (Optional) Placed some paintings from 3DNPC in the patch. I use Interesting Paintings as a replacer for the screenshots. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/47524
12. Removed ELFX fake door light by flagging ELFXFakelightDoor01 as deleted. This should effectively remove all fakelights everywhere.
13. Compacted FormIDs and flagged the esp as esl so it will not take up a plugin slot.
14. Added Mashup for JK Skyrim All In One
15. Added Mashup for Clefj Dragon Bridge
16. Added Mashup for The Great Cities - Merged
Installation:
· Strongly suggest using a mod manager e.g. MO2 and load it after the mods that it is supposed to patch e.g. 3DNPC-->LOS2-->ELFX-->(Skysan ELFX-SMIM Fix)-->(ELFX Fixes)-->Rodryk’s DB-->Myq Patch-->(Enhancer)
Note: Main patch’s masters are LOS2, ELFX and RDB
· Optional patches require the main patch. Load it after and overwrite the main patch
· May require a new game if the player’s bed on the 2nd floor is missing, especially if you have already visited the tavern. I’ve marked the bed as non-persistent to circumvent but it may not work.
. If Using the mashups, recommended load order : JK/ClefJ-->Rodryk-->(Myq Main Patch)-->Base Mashup--> Respective LOS2 and/or ELFX patch. Note: Myq's Main Patch is ONLY required if running BOTH LOS2 and ELFX. The mashup patches do not have ELFX interior edits for the original Rodryk's Dragon Bridge. Refer to sticky in the comments.
Uninstallation:
· It is not recommended to remove a mod mid-game, but that said, it should be fine as it does not contain any scripts
My Mods:
(A)Myq'sGardens: Places 2 fully functional gardens in Whiterun where NPCs will visit and interact with.
