    Paintings for the Temple of Mara - an abundance of floral paintings

      []The Distinct JK's Temple of Mara (Patch)[/]

      Compatible with Mara valentine - load it after[/]

      Paintings for the Dark Brotherhood - Dawnstar Sanctuary - dark themed - buy the sanctuary decorations for them to appear

      • []vanilla[/]

        []Dark Brotherhood Reborn - Dawnstar Sanctuary[/]

        []Distinct Interiors + Distinct Interiors - Fixes[/]

        []Juniper's Dawnstar Sanctuary[/]

        []JK´s Dark Brotherhood Sanctuaries[/]

      (they will appear once the quest is finished)

      Paintings for Cities - mostly maritime and pastoral paintings

      • []vanilla[/]

        []The Great Cities - Minor Cities and Towns SSE Edition - Dawnstar, Falkreath, Morthal and Winterhold[/]

        []Cities of the North - a single merged file if you use them all[/]

      COTN no Morthal - a merge without Morthal if you use another interior for Morthal

      COTN no Winterhold - a merge without Winterhold if you use another interior for Morthal

      or just pick the files individually

      Cities of the North - Dawnstar

      Cities of the North - Falkreath

      Cities of the North - Morthal

      Cities of the North - Winterhold

      Redbag´s city overhauls Morthal and Falkreath do not need a patch, so use the vanilla version

      tip example to combine: use the vanilla version and a standalone cotn (the standalone cotn files have different names so they won´t overwrite a vanilla merge)

      Paintings for Jorrvaskr - portraits and moonlite landscape scenery

      []Vanilla[/]

      []JKs Jorrvaskr[/]
