Introduction

Riverwood Redeveloped is an overhaul mod of sorts. It redevelops vanilla Riverwood from a charming yet empty village full of odd characteristics, into a fully fledged 'lived in' village with all of the oddities fixed.

Here are some of the key oddities this mod fixes:

• As a fishing and farming village, there seems to be almost no evidence pointing towards this fact.

• There are no chimneys on buildings which have fireplaces.

Even as a small rural village,  Riverwood is in a dangerous spot in Skyrim, serving as a passage for travellers and mercenaries coming from the main road from Helgen and Falkreath on their way to Whiterun and the North. Wildlife is also always a threat to the villagers. Yet the walls do not surround the vill
