Description

Overhauls and expands all cities except Kvatch. Better Cities is modular, so you can choose which cities to have in your game and which to leave out. If you want all the Better Cities, there is a merged plugin of all of them. You can also choose to toggle each city (except the Imperial City) into Open Better Cities, so that the cities can be entered without load screens (so in some places you can go under or over the walls).

This mod changes the layout of each of the Cities/Imperial City Districts. Following is just a brief summary of some of the changes.

The Arboretum is turned into a luxurious garden with some domesticated deer and rabbits, a beautiful pond in front of a new hotel with a bar, bedrooms, public and private bath.

In the Imperial Market District, Temple District, Elven Gardens District and Talos Plaza District the buildings have been elevated, with an upper level of shops, houses, bars and restaurants accessed via stairs up to a balcony level.

The Arcane University District includes several new towers, plus some raised platforms and magical equipment for the students to practice what they have been taught.

The Prison District includes a few additional Imperial Legion buildings, new prison cells, and a hanging platform.

A new Aristocratic District is added on the outskirts of the Elven Garden Districts, providing housing for ambassadors from other provinces.

Out on the Waterfront, the poor area has been enlarged, with more buildings and additional occupants. The ground is littered with rubbish, the graveyard has enlarged and includes a church. More ships are docked.

In Chorrol the castle gets elevated and protected by walls, an old prison is now accessible and several new houses have been installed. The general layout is vastly changed. Optionally, the city can be converted into Open Better Cities, but this is disabled by default.

In Bravil, the aspect of decay has been vastly enhanced and you will understand why this city is called the slump of Cyrodiil. The city contains now several levels of houses with pathways making it a real maze. Optionally, the city can be converted into Open Better Cities, but this is disabled by default.
