📋 About This Mod

Fences of Skyrim is a fantastic mod that provides a nice variety to the fences around Skyrim. Instead of just one model the fences will now use nine different models (10 if you count the base model). Thanks to its use of Base Object Swapper it doesn't need any conflict resolution patches, as the models are swapped at runtime. However, some town/city overhauls add new fences to the game, which will lead to a small visual clash where fences using both the swapped and default model are placed in the same area.

This collection of additional swap files will fix this for a handful of mods, matching the added fences to the ones already used in the area by the base FoS mod. The exceptions to this rule are JK's Skyrim and The Great Town of Shor's Stone. JK uses a lot of fences placed on platforms and walkways, so I used some more appropriate models for them regardless of what models were generally used in the area. The vanilla version of Shor's Stone doesn't have any fences, so there I chose the model based on my own preference.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Fences of Skyrim - Addons is a compatibility patch that extends the Fences of Skyrim mod to several city overhauls, ensuring visual consistency across Skyrim's cities. With 292 endorsements and over 21,000 downloads, it's a modestly popular addon for players using both mods.

✨ Key Features

Adds compatibility patches for several city overhauls to work with Fences of Skyrim.
Ensures visual consistency between Fences of Skyrim and city overhaul mods.
Requires the original Fences of Skyrim mod as a base.
Targets players who use city overhauls and want cohesive fence visuals.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid endorsement ratio (292 endorsements on 21k downloads) shows it's trusted by the community.
  • Fills a real niche—if you're running city overhauls, this keeps fences from looking out of place.
  • Lightweight addon that does one job: visual consistency, no bloat.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only useful if you already use Fences of Skyrim and a compatible city overhaul—otherwise it's dead weight.
  • No specific list of supported city overhauls in the description, so you'll need to check compatibility yourself.
  • Last updated in January 2025—might not cover newer city overhaul releases or updates.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim modders who run Fences of Skyrim alongside city overhauls and want to avoid mismatched fence textures. If you don't use both, skip it—this is purely a compatibility patch, not a standalone improvement.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have the original Fences of Skyrim installed first, or this addon won't do anything.
  • Check the mod's posts or comments for a list of supported city overhauls—the description doesn't list them.
  • Load this addon after both Fences of Skyrim and your city overhaul in your mod manager to ensure proper overwrite order.
