📋 About This Mod
As requested by a few people, this is an extra to my mod \"Towns and Villages Enhanced\" Found here - http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=68336872 ========================================================= Adds hundreds of new details to Riverwood, including Trees, Shrubs, Rocks, Lights, Walkways, Clutter, Animals etc. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrP8Z-e8J9M&list=UU4MGZcDG5hnzpi3hDpORkXw&index=4&feature=plcp) There are many other takes out there, this one is aimed primarily at a high end system, due to the insane amount of foliage. I\'ll release a T. A. V. E Lite version one day for people with low end specs :) Should be compatible with all mods, apart from other \"Riverwood Enhancing\" ones. I got an average of 40 FPS in Riverwood with a Phenom XII 955 + GTX 560ti. If you find a bug, please report it in the comments, I read all of them :D Screenshots taken with Cinematic ENB. ========================================================== Please rate, comment and subscribe :D ========================================================== Also on steam! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=75827207&tscn=1339951863

- If you encounter missing textures or crashes, try placing this mod earlier in your load order to avoid conflicts with other town overhauls.
