📋 About This Mod
- []Improves performance of every cell in Whiterun (at this point in time is just the only city that is covered by this). The framerate gains will range from 15%+ to just 10% in some areas depending on your CPU and mods loaded. If you have any mods that add a lot of items and increase the polygon count of the meshes such as SIMM, this will greatly improve your performance). And yes I KNOW there's a mod that already does this, but nowhere near as good as this one, not when it comes to Whiterun. This isn't "debatable" or an opinion, it's a fact, just check the framerates between these two mods. And REMEMBER this mod ADDS things to the cells, the other doesn't. So the fact that you still end with a better framerate is pretty cool.
- []Adds missing misc like candle lights where there was light sources, roofs in the interior cells where you could just see through the walls. Dinning plates on some cells that had the food on the table (like pies).
- []Adds some black "textures" behind certain doors, walls and other things so you don't see though them into the skybox, this is particularly annoying on some inside doors where you once open them can see a bright light that just leads into the clouds. "oh but since it's a door connected to exterior cells it makes sense". No! these are doors linked to other rooms.
- []Fixes pretty much every single miss-aligned object, wall, building, door, table, candle, fire pit, chair, weapon rack, water texture, smoke effect, (the list goes on) in the game.
What this mod doesn't do:
- []Fixes quests.
- []Game breaking bugs like engine related problems that make your game crash (though some people have said their game stopped crashing when they enabled this mod, though it might be from the fton of objects I've disabled).
- []Robotic animations.
- []Sound problems, of any type.
- []Your 300+ sexy always up for hot sex scantly clad maid mods that seems to crash your game every time you try to dry hump them.
- []Horrible looking meshes.
- []Low quality textures.
- []The Empire sucking balls.
