📋 About This Mod
Also available on the steam workshop: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=10071 This lore friendly mod aims to expand the village of Rorikstead by adding new buildings and NPCs. The mod also adds a quest to obtain a house in Rorikstead. I created this mod because I wanted Rorikstead to be a bigger village, and I thought I would publish it to the nexus so others may use it. This mod was the first mod on the steam workshop to start adding buildings and NPCs to Rorikstead, except for More Carriages. The mod is currently a work in progress, so comments are welcome. Installation: Copy the RoriksteadExpanded.esp and RoriksteadExpanded.bsa files to your Skyrim/Data folder. Check the mod in the data files section of the launcher. Launch the game. Known Bugs: As this is still a work in progress, you may find bugs with the mod. If you find any, let me know. Disappearing buildings: Make sure Rorikstead Expanded is at the top of the list in the load order of your mods

💡 Beginner Tips
