I'm very proud to present:
Ivarstead is a small village, at the base of Skyrim's largest mountain. The Dragonborn will pass through this holy site in their pilgrimage to High Hrothgar, and answer the summons of the Greybeards.
Before, this village was two farmhouses, a mill, and an inn. Now, it is a cozy hamlet, complete with a town square, chapel, cemetery, and guard tower.
This mod replaces the architectural style of Ivarstead using the assets of JPSteel's Cities of the North: Falkreath and Northern Roads. It also makes use of assets from Kelretu's modder's resource, and Mandragorasprouts' Statue of Mara. Thank you to all of these authors for their generous open permissions, and for inspiring me to make my own projects.
You'll meet several new, fully voiced NPCs, including a general goods merchant, baker, blacksmith, priest, and grave digger. Each one has their own routine, and most reuse dialogue from the original game. One character, Sorik, is uniquely voiced using generative artificial intelligence.
They are not required, but this mod contains add-ons for, and is best used with, Lux, Northern Roads, and Traverse the Ulvenwald. The screenshots above use these add-ons, which are available in the patch collection on the download page.
I also recommend you use this mod on a new save, and regenerate LODs in order to see the town from far away.
Here's a list of what's in the patch collection:
