✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 435 endorsements and 5,500+ downloads
- Fixes a common visual gripe—tiny windmill sails look silly
- Lightweight and easy to install, just drop in and go
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects windmill sails, so if you want broader visual changes, look elsewhere
- Requires SMIM, so you're locked into that mod's setup
- Last updated in 2019, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or other mods that alter windmills
For Skyrim players who use SMIM and want more realistic windmill proportions. If you're a visual purist who notices small details, this is a quick win. Skip if you don't use SMIM or prefer gameplay changes over cosmetic tweaks.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure SMIM is installed first, then overwrite its windmill meshes with this mod.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid file conflicts and easily uninstall if needed.
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod has an SE version or use a mesh converter.
