📋 About This Mod
Fot the Watchtower, I started from the same observation as for my previous FYX for the fake windows, I still found a lot of things to fix, then I extended the work to the ramparts who also needed help.
File (A) - Vanilla meshes with less bugs -
- Repairs a lot of holes (faces that were missing, reversed or misplaced)
- Open windows for the Watchtower
- Fix some UV
- Fix UV around all Windows
- Now natively compatible with LUX Orbis and other light mods
- Changed the floor at the bottom of the towers which was inconsistent with the place. It is replaced by wooden planks, also changes the sound of the Dirt => Wood collision to be coherent.
File (B)
If you already have mods that completely change this area, or you find the new addition useless, go to version (A)- Fix same as (A) file, but with access to the side ramparts
- Add two patch for this file, for NO eFPS users and for eFPS users
- If you are using eFPS, it is advisable to use the patch for version (A) and (B) because it fixes an original bug through the ramparts tower window.
- Also useful if you don't use this FYX

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (1,929 endorsements, 965k downloads)
- Tiny mod that fixes an annoying visual/access issue
- Last updated in 2023, so likely still works with current Skyrim versions
⚠️ Cons
- Only addresses one specific location—not a broad overhaul
- May conflict with other Solitude overhauls that modify the same area
For Skyrim players who notice the awkward ramp at Solitude's first watchtower and want a clean fix. Skip if you're using a comprehensive Solitude overhaul that already reworks that area.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install with your mod manager (Vortex or MO2) and let it overwrite if prompted—this mod is just meshes/textures.
- If you use a Solitude overhaul, load this mod after it to ensure the fix applies.
- No need to start a new game—this is a world-space fix that works on existing saves.
