About this mod

This mod patches Redbags Solitude, Books of Skyrim and Solitude Docks for Open cities, and adds some tweaks and fixes to all three

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Changelogs
Redbags is a great mod for making Solitude feel more like a city, but it bugged me that almost everyone lives in a huge house and noone seems to have a job. I decided to add a new NPC family and move a couple of servants from the big houses into their own little ones. While making those changes I also found a few other things that bug me about Redbags and Solitude Docks and decided to change them. I use Open Cities and I really didn't feel like testing this mod separately for it and vanilla, so this mod is released with the Open Cities patch included. You could use the tweaks plugin without the OCS patch plugin, but I haven't tested it and most of my other patches won't work. 

You need to start a new game because I moved some persistent references!

The full list of changes:

Spoiler:  
Show

  • Made open Cities Patches for Redbags Solitude, Books of Skyrim and Solitude Docks
  • Books of Skyrim moved outside the walls
  • Two large houses near the large arch bridge replaced with 5 small ones.
  • 'East Empire Company Records House' has replaced Thormoor's house to provide jobs for a number of Redbag's NPCs
  • Thormoor's house has been moved to the Marketplace and now acts as a bakers
  • Rikvald now sells rare weapons and other 'antiques'
  • The large house in the marketplace has been remade into an inn and moved outside
  • One of Redbags NPCs is now a butcher and has a stall in the marketplace
  • Solitude Docks' farms now use Solitude's unique house mesh instead of the basic farmhouses
  • Added correct ref types and items and persistence locations to make Redbag's buildings work correctly with radiant quests
  • Marsh view now needs to be bought for 5000 gold
  • Better galleon model from ships and boats of tamriel


Load Order:

  • Solitude Docks
  • Redbag's Solitude
  • Redbags Slitude Docks Updated
  • Redbag's NPCs have jobs...
  • Open Cities SKyrim
  • Other OCS Patches
  • Open Redbag's Solitude
  • Patches for this mod and other stuff

Compatibility
  • If it changes solitude, then probably not
  • Also I made minor changes to Falk and Captain Aldis to give them a key but that's trivial to patch for any NPC overhaul

Other Notes
  • You do NOT need Redbag's own OCS patch or the other patch between Redbag's and Books of Skyrim. You do need Redbag's Solitude Docks updated because I didn't want to redo that work myself.
  • The open Cities patch has been compressed and can be safely eslified, but the main plugin cannot be.
  • I have not regenerated LOD

If you like this mod please Endorse it!

Thanks to Redbag, Arthmoor, and everyone who has contributed to Solitude Docks' Development over the years. Also thanks to Fuzzles for helping me clarify my thoughts on what Solitude should be.
