📋 About This Mod
Allows Fort Fellhammer to be captured like other civil war forts.
After clearing out the bandits and leaving the area, the fort will be repopulated by Imperial or Stormcloak soldiers depending on who owns Winterhold.
If Winterhold changes hands, the fort can be cleared again for the new owner.
For Immersion: This fort is right next to Fort Dunstad and leaving it full of bandits would pose an uneccessary threat.
Also, it could be a valuable source of ore for the fort and a possible muster point.
Requires my mod Fort Takeovers.
*Feedback welcome
Fort Takeovers - Fort Fellhammer is a small add-on for the Fort Takeovers mod that lets you capture Fort Fellhammer like other civil war forts. After clearing bandits, the fort is repopulated by Imperial or Stormcloak soldiers based on Winterhold's owner, and can be cleared again if ownership changes. It requires the base Fort Takeovers mod and is maintained by Acherones.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 455 endorsements and over 13k downloads.
- Ties into the civil war dynamic, making the world feel more alive and reactive.
- Small, focused add-on that slots right into the existing Fort Takeovers framework.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the base Fort Takeovers mod, so it's useless without that dependency.
- Only affects one fort, so if you're looking for a broader overhaul this won't cut it.
- Potential compatibility issues with other mods that alter Fort Fellhammer or civil war mechanics.
For Skyrim players who already use Fort Takeovers and want to extend the capture mechanic to Fort Fellhammer. If you're into civil war immersion and like seeing forts change hands based on regional control, this is a nice touch. Skip if you don't use the base mod or want more than a single-fort tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the base Fort Takeovers mod installed and active, or this add-on won't do anything.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
- Check your load order to ensure this mod loads after Fort Takeovers and any other fort-related overhauls.
