📋 About This Mod

Welcome to Graywatch! This nordic outpost features all of the options present in my Eastwatch player home, but now with Whiterun style!

WHAT THIS MOD DOES

  • []Adds a new Nordic Outpost on the outskirts of Whiterun, featuring dozens of new 3D models crafted by myself!

    []A consolidated crafting table to make new playthroughs of Skyrim more expedient. No more dashing from animation menu to animation menu!

    []New followers.

    []Customization options, allowing for enable and disabling interior themes to include the followers.

    WHAT THIS MOD DOES NOT DO

    • []This playerhome is NOT a warehouse. If you love player homes with lofty halls for showing off your hoard of loot this mod is probably not for you.

      []This playerhome does not offer any Hearthfire/demented cabbage patch kid adoption support.

      []This player home does not feature staff crafting.

      []This mod does not utilize or feature any Skyrim DLC elements.

      INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS

      Authors Note: With extremely few exceptions all of the new models featured in this mod use standard Skyrim textures, meaning depending on what HD texture pack you're utilizing your Graywatch may appear significantly different from my screenshots. Perhaps for the better! Or perhaps for the worst. Your mileage may vary. It should go without saying your game should always be updated, but if you're not running the latest version of Skyrim and you can't find the outpost you may need to install BEES (Backported Extended ESL Support - Nexus ID 106441) in order for any newer mod plugin to properly work in your game.

      Edit: Thank you Ringmaster308 & Blackspine18859 for bringing this to my attention.
