📋 About This Mod
I love Bloodchill Manor, it's a great player home, but I hate its entrance. This mod only adds a bunch of vanilla trees, plants and clutter to make it look less empty and easier to locate while traveling. Script free!
Install it with Vortex or your Mod Manager of choice.
Compatibility:
- It likely not compatible with any other mod that edit's the same landscape cells. But, since it doesn't change the landscape around a lot, it may work with any patch for the Bloodchill Manor entrance. Feel free to make patches yourself!
A lightweight cosmetic mod for Skyrim that adds vanilla trees, plants, and clutter around Bloodchill Manor's entrance to make it less empty and easier to spot while traveling. Script-free and ESL-flagged, it's a simple visual upgrade for players who find the default exterior bland. With 42 endorsements and recent updates, it's a niche but functional choice.
