📋 About This Mod

Make Windhelm Beautiful! ==================================================== The forth city, of Towns and Villages Enhanced, this time, Windhelm! ==================================================== Adds over 1000 items to the city, including: . Snowy Trees (New Shrubs and trees, all thanks to Ga-Knomboe\\\'s mod, GKB Trees.) . Snowy Shrubs . Alchemist Plants . Tundra Scrub . Light sources (Lanterns, candles, torches - Fixed Multiple Light sources) . Clutter (Tables, Weapons, Lore Friendly Armour etc) . Containers . Seating . Subtle effects . Snow Drifts and Icicles Experience a new, super detailed city, with various improvements that enhance your immersion! ==================================================== FAQ - Q: There\\\'s too many trees! These mods are so un-realistic! Why are you ruining my towns?! A: The aim of these mods is to alter a towns look and feel, away from it\\\'s vanilla state. They add more colour, more life etc. If your a person who would rather play true to lore and geography, don\\\'t download the mods. Q: I get a CTD with this mod enabled!? A: All of my mods do not change any existing references in-game, it is unlikely they are the cause of a CTD. Try placing the \\\"TAVE??.esp\\\" higher in your \\\"Load Order\\\" by using the arrows. Also try using the Load order optimiser program - Boss - http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/6 Q: I don\\\'t see the Enhancement? A: Check that \\\"TAVE??.esp\\\" is ticked in your load order, or re-subscribe. Q: NPC\\\'s are walking into stuff? A: Due to the current state of the Creation Kit\\\'s Nav mesh, I cannot directly edit it without making the mod some what unstable, please send a pic of the item NPC\\\'s are colliding with and I\\\'ll move/remove it ASAP. Q: Are you going to do....? A: I hope that I\\\'ll eventually have every Town and Village Enhanced! Q: Why is your mod giving me FPS drops? A: Due to the number of items TAVE adds to cities, you will see a significant drop in FPS. I recommend at least a GTX560/AMD 6870 + 4gb Ram + Quad Core CPU. ===================================================== For the screenshots I\\\'m using the Sharpshooters Extreme Graphics ENB. ===================================================== Please Subscribe, rate and comment! :D All suggestions are welcome! ===================================================== Others in the Towns and Villages Enhanced series!
