📋 About This Mod
Immersive Citizens Extended - JK's Whiterun is a modified version of JK's Whiterun (a complete Whiterun overhaul) designed to be compatible with Immersive Citizens - AI Overhaul. This version is standalone, it means you don't need the original version of JK's Whiterun to use it. In order to improve greatly the overall compatibility of JK's Whiterun, all the modifications made on navigation meshes used in Whiterun have been removed and substitued by collision boxes (L_NACUT collision layer). A lot of occlusion planes have also been added in order to significantly reduce the impact of this mod on FPS.
Notable changes: - The extra pool near Dragonsreach has been removed as well as the carriage near the main gate as well as other minor static objects. A lot of static objects have been also slightly moved. This is the price to pay to improve the compatibility. - Some plants have been removed in order to improve the realism. All the roots have been removed, almost all the trees have been also removed as well as a lot of ivies.
