GARDENS OF CYRODIIL - CASTLE COURTYARDS
By Federica85
Updated: 16 July with the new file "Skingrad Castle Courtyard"
Updated: 30 July with the new file "Chorrol Castle Courtyard"
DESCRIPTION
I'm decorating the empty courtyards of the county castles. All files are cleaned with TesEdit's auto-clean.
I've done Cheydinhal, with:
-
[]two fountains
[
]two sitting areas, one under a rumbling roses porch[]a secluded area with a small shrine to Mara and a gorgeous statue depicting two elven lovers, commissioned by the Count in the loving memory of his late wife
[]flower beds and hedges
And Skingrad, with:
-
[]a big fountain
[
]flowery bushes, flowerbeds and vases on the upper floor as well.[]a wall featuring the symbols of Skingrad: statues of god Julianus, king Rislav Larich, and rambling grapevines
And Chorrol:
-
[]many new flowers
[]a fountain
[]a small oak, born from an acorn of the Great one
[]the Countess' luxurious personal carriage wainting for her
REQUIREMENTS
For Cheydinhal Castle Courtyard only, Shivering Isles is mandatory for the benches.
INSTALLATION
Use your favourite mod manager. Or drop the content of the archive(s) in your Data folder, then activate "Cheydinhal Castle Courtyard.esp" and/or "Skingrad Castle Courtyard.esp" and/or "Chorrol Castle Courtyard.esp".
UNINSTALLATION
Use your favourite mod manager. Or uncheck "Cheydinhal Castle Courtyard.esp" and/or "Skingrad Castle Courtyard" and/or "Chorrol Castle Courtyard.esp".
INCOMPATIBILITIES
I don't use "Better Cities", but I tried the Cheydinhal file along with "Cyrodiil Rebuild", which AFAIK is included in Better Cities, and they're NOT compatible, no matter the load order.
ISSUES
None I'm aware of. NPCs shouldn't walk into flowerbeds and fountains because I edited the pathgrids, but I'm not an expert at that so I'm sorry if they're not perfect.
FUTURE UPDATES
I'm done for now. I'm not doing other castles ATM because:
[]Anvil is quite pretty even in vanilla game
[]Bruma is already covered in my other mod Bruma Greenhouses
[]Leyawiin and Bravil are already covered by two amazing mods I permanently
-
[]many new flowers
-
[]a big fountain
