📋 About This Mod
Description
Better City Entrances is a mod that brings more details around the gate areas of the main cities, i always felt the entrance of each city very empty and lacking some details, so i decided to mod them. This mod was made with performance and simplicity in mind, the details added are lore friendly you will not find HUGE changes like diferent flora and architecture that would not fit the theme of each city.
