  • (p.s Lanterns of skyrim is no longer needed to use this mod (as i will be developing all areas on each town independently on each area myself, starting with static visuals then lighting then npc\'s, for the RP factor) then finally additional cells (ie areas) that will benefit certain regions of skyrim and quests)
