📋 About This Mod

The goal of this small mod is to add a bit of immersion to small inhabited locations, such as farms, camps, and lumber mills.

These "additions" are two new models I created myself from scratch. Namely, a village well and a new wooden statue of the Old God (Odin). I also added some accompanying clutter using original vanilla assets to these two main models to add a touch of immersion and create the impression of a truly lived-in location, instead of the sparse and empty theater decorations of the vanilla game.

The well is not functional. It is just an immersive decoration. (If any of the authors have ideas on how to make the well functional in the game, and have enough knowledge and skills to do so, they can contact me personally for permission to do this)

Please note! The "stone parts" of my well model use the original vanilla textures. This means that in your game, my well model will use the exact "stone" textures you have in your mod list. That is, the "stone walls" retextures from other authors you have installed. All other parts of the well, as well as Odin's model, use my own unique textures. This means no retextures from other authors affect them.

Also! All other clutter added in this mod are vanilla meshes and textures. This means it's fully compatible with any meshes replacers/retextures from your mod list and doesn't require any patches. Accordingly, in your game this clutter may look different from what you see in the screenshots for this mod.

Additional clutter includes: ivy, hanging moss, well lantern, buckets, tankards, empty wine bottles, braziers, human and animal bones and skulls, a shovel, horn candles, Nordic Ruins candles, campfires, etc.

Personally, I highly recommended using my own remodels for this clutter (except for those objects I haven't modified) to achieve maximum style consistency between the models and textures, and thus a greater immersive effect. However, the choice is yours.

Locations affected by this mod:

  • []Heartwood Mill

    []Loreius Farm

    []Dragonbridge (not inside the town, but other side of the bridge)

    []Cliffside Retreat

    []Tundra Homestead

    []Angi's Camp

    []Mixwater Mill

    []Anga's Mill

maybe some other locations that I forgot to mention... 😁

ESP flagged as ESL. So it safe to install/uninstall at mid-game (at any time).

I hope you will like it. Endorsement is very appreciate 😊
