📋 About This Mod
I don't think anyone would do, but PLEASE don't include this mod in Nexus Collections. I beg you
The "Add some flavor" series. You can choose and merge.
I love water and wanted to add more water around cities, so I started this modding for myself.
As I did so, I felt that the gate was dark both in terms of the amount of light and the atmosphere,
so I increased the lights and greenery. Also... I added other things so that it wouldn't be lonely.
I wanted them to look cuter. I like kawaii :)
Adding is not too huge, and I wanted to keep the shape of the terrain the same and have a low impact on FPS.
(if I don't mind them or want something high quality, there are plenty of great mods out there already!)
If you're interested in my seasoning, try it ;D

Compatibility
------------------------
If you are modding the shape of the 3D model, the decoration may look strange.
May not be compatible with mods that edit landscape or objects in the same area.

------------------------
I learned decorations using 3D models in CS. It takes time anyway because of fumbling :\
And there are still some things I don't understand well, so there may be some weird points.
LMK if there are any huge mistakes.
example: something that causes crashes/FPS killer/disused thing under the ground
If you like my work, please donate... or give Kudos for me!
(I think more Kudos makes me look more like a modder, haha)

I share a little things, because I want to give back to the great community.
Thanks Bethesda, thanks the all TES4 community & modders & CSE(Can't edit without it!)
+Thanks to everyone for comments, endorse, set tags, encouragement and advice.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 207 endorsements and over 4,000 downloads.
- Stays true to the game's art style by using only vanilla and SI assets.
- Adds a subtle but noticeable improvement to a common sight.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects city gates—if you want broader visual overhauls, this won't cover them.
- No screenshots or detailed previews provided, so you'll have to see it in-game.
- May not be compatible with other mods that alter city gate meshes or textures.
For Oblivion players who want a touch of warmth in their cities without overhauling the whole game. If you're a purist who prefers vanilla-friendly mods, this is a safe bet. Skip if you're looking for major visual changes or if you use other mods that modify city gates.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it uses vanilla resources, it should work with most setups, but always check for conflicts with other gate mods.
- If you're using a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash, install it through that to keep your load order clean.
- Test in a city like the Imperial City to see the new gate design right away.
