JK's Skyrim

Mod Description
A lore-friendly and script-free Overhaul of the cities and towns of Skyrim.
The vanilla theme of the towns has been greatly expanded upon giving each a unique, more immersive atmosphere; Riverwood (lumbar), Rorikstead (farming), Falkreath (graveyard), Dawnstar (port), Dragons Bridge (defensive outpost), etc.
New buildings and vendors have been added to the villages making them more vibrant and useful.
Town allegiance (banners, guards) dynamically change as the Civil War progresses.


Cities and Towns Overhauled
The overhaul covers Skyrim's 5 major cities; Whiterun (and Whiterun exterior), Windhelm, Solitude, Markarth and Riften.
The towns of Riverwood, Dragonbridge, Ivarstead and Rorikstead.
The small open villages of Falkreath, Morthal, Dawnstar, Winterhold and Skaal Village.
Sky Haven Temple Exterior unlocked during the Main Quest.


Compatibility
Mods that significantly change the above mentioned towns and villages will most likely not be compatible.
Mods altering the exterior of Windhelm, Solitude, Markarth and Riften are fully compatible.
Whiterun's exterior has been modified inside the walled area. The stables have not been modified.
All texture mods are fully compatible.

*If a mod already has a patch for JK's Skyrim classic which they host please ask the mod author to update. I do not intend to obtain permission, recreate and host patches when the work has already been done.


Modular Versions
I may look at making a Major Towns only and Villages only file like I did for the classic version once everything has settled down and all bugs are fixed and patches are done. I won't be making separate downloadable versions for each town. If you want to remove an individual city follow this guide....
