📋 About This Mod

Hi everyone!

I love the Farmhouse Chimneys mod but I've never been able to find a texture that sits well with the chimney crown (the bricks at the top of the stack) and so I decided to remove it and replace it with something that I thought fitted the Nordic feel of Skyrim a bit better. I've created a number of different crowns that you'll now see on your adventures. There are tiled ones (in the style of the walkways you see in villages), ones with boards (like the shack chimneys, only less likely to let the rain in) and chimneys without any crowns at all. There is also a NVFH version. There are also ivy variants with different levels of growth on them. Seasons support will be coming soon too.

Installation:

1) Install Farmhouse Chimneys

2) Install Base Object Swapper

3) Install High Quality Ivy Replacer - Base Object Swapper - Seasons of Skyrim

3b) I highly recommend using Rudy Fix for Smoke alongside this mod.

4) Install this mod and overwrite when prompted.

Thanks for checking out the mod!
