📋 About This Mod
Kilcunda's Balmora is a relatively simple lore-friendly Balmora overhaul: Rather than adding entire new buildings/districts/etc this mod expands on the vanilla Balmora layout in an attempt to make it more detailed and believable.
The mod also adds a new-look canal, more detailed surrounding areas and entrances, increased lighting, three new NPC's and more! Now Balmora feels more like the Hlaalu trading capital of Vvardenfel as described in-game.
Cleaned with TESAME and TES3CMD
