✨ Key Features

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 388 endorsements and nearly 6,000 downloads.

  • Lightweight and lore-friendly since it uses vanilla assets.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2012 — may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or DLC.
  • Only affects the Winterhold area, so it's a very niche fix.
🎯 Is This For You?

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a simple esp, just drop it into your Data folder and activate it in your mod manager or launcher.
  • If you use other mods that change Winterhold's coastline, load this mod after them to ensure the ice floes appear.
  • Check for conflicts with mods that add objects near the Serpent Stone, as they might overlap.
