📋 About This Mod
Replaces most of the ruined low stone walls surrounding the Whiterun farms with actual well-maintained traditional wooden farm fences. Added a chicken coop for immersion (poor chickens with no shelter). Note that there’s still plenty of the ruined low stone walls surrounding the area, but on the outskirts of the active farming area.
Lore friendly as they looked the same in Oblivion :)
The why? I made this mod as I was always bothered by active farmers that continued to work with rubble nearby. This also opens the farming fields visibility a bit as you can see through all of the fencing.
No navmesh changes were made. I only placed wooden fences exactly where the old low stone walls were.
Would still like to give the small farm on the East side of Whiterun the same treatment. I might also make a few other lightweight enhancements later on.
Known incompatibilities:
- Skyrim 3D Stonewalls
- Skyrim Landscape Overhaul - Stone Walls
. ESL flagged. This is the first time I've ever done this - so please let me know if it's worked properly, looks like it on my end.
Cleaned with xEdit.
- Skyfall515 (me!)
- stevowashere for the fence asset that was open modders resource.
- Oblivion for inspiration (and nostalgia).

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 938 endorsements and over a million downloads.
- Lightweight means it won't tank your FPS like some overhauls.
- Gives Whiterun farms a clean, maintained look that fits the pastoral vibe.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and manage this mod easily.
- Load order shouldn't matter much, but place it after any major landscape overhauls to ensure fences appear correctly.
- Check for patches if you use mods that modify Whiterun's farm areas, as they may conflict.
