📋 About This Mod
The goal of this mod is to remedy that. I have begun adding more exotic locations to visit. More contraptions that highlight just how ingenious and marvelous the dwemer civilization was. I have ofc. also tried to add more enemies, and more treasure chests... in short I hope to add to your adventures while in blackreach. Oh yeah and before I forget... I detest the original teal visuals so those have been changed to something that in my opinion fits a lot better.
If you are curious about the state of the mod and you do not want to ask all the time, I have made a sticky post in the comments section that will outline what I am working on, as well as what I have planed for the future. I do hope that others will come with suggestions since I do need all the inspiration I can get. Part of this whole beta release is so that I can hopefully make it even more awesome for the people who will want to use it.
Requirements? Latest version of Skyrim Dawnguard DLC Dragonborn DLC No there wont be a version that deviate from this!
Recommended mods? I highly recommend my other blackreach mod which alters the way various objects in blackreach look.
Installation? Download and install using your favorite mod manager. There is only a single .esp file.
Compatibility? Not cleaned with tes5edit yet since this is a beta release! ELFX is fully compatible. Skyrim Immersive creatures is fully compatible. Wayshrines of Tamriel is fully compatible. Skyrim Sewer 4 is fully compatible. Any other mod that alters enemy difficulty should be fully compatible. Will slightly conflict with any mod that alters Blackreach weather. Will conflict with any mod that alters the blackreach water. Incompatible with The blackest reaches (The mods currently overlap too much) The easy way to make them compatible is to load after any mod that are related to water and weather!
I am not currently aware of any other mods that alter blackreach!
