📋 About This Mod
The purpose of this mod is to make the Imperial Palace Alive and complete. I feel this place is very neglected by Bethesda. For example, the emperor doesn't have a throne. Also, this mod was designed to be natively compatible with better cities and most other mods.
Franky, I didn't begin from scratch. This mod is inspired by the other Elder council mods from various authors like GandalftheGrey, Gorv, and Googlebox. I created this mod because I didn't find what I want with those mods.
I recommend this texture mod ( look at my three last images)

Compatibilities- Alternate Start second plugin (the Throne Room) is incompatible. I only play with the first because the Kvatch rebuild mod isn't complete.- All Elder council mod who add NPCS are incompatibles (Gandalf, Kvatchcount, etc)
