📋 About This Mod
Important : This isn't my mod, but I got the permission from MannyGT to port his work on SSE. Also, I didn't edit the file and I will not. Hope every one will enjoy this mod. I ported it because I can't play skyrim without this overhaul and it was an easy task.
Only the original author is owner of his creation, this mod is here because he want that. Also, this mod will be removed without question if he change his mind.

Over 1500 endossements on oldrim and very lorefriendly, light and compatible overhaul ! +
OVERVIEW
This mod adds some elements to the exterior area of High Hrothgar for a better visual experience.
The elements are:
- Some braziers
- Some banners
- 2 panoramic bridges
Lights are turned off in daytime (expect about burning braziers effects).
The mod is clear, simply and does not drops any fps, so install it without hesitation.
The mod is also an esl plugin.
INSTALLATION
Just place the ESP in data folder and then enable it via menu launcher
UNINSTALLATION
No clean savegame required, just delete it from data folder even if you're in High Hrothgar area.
However don't save when you stay on one of the panoramic bridges or you'll fall down when reload the game :)
KNOWN ISSUES AND/OR BUGS
There are no big issues on this mod. The only one is that lights will pop-up on weather change (Skyrim Engine bug, sorry)
This mod is not compatible with other mod that modify the High Hrothgar areas like Claralux.

This is a port of MannyGT's Oldrim mod that adds braziers, banners, and two panoramic bridges to the exterior of High Hrothgar in Skyrim Special Edition. It's a light, lore-friendly, and compatible overhaul with an ESL plugin, and it does not drop FPS. The port was authorized by the original author and is not edited.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Lore-friendly and light, so it won't tank your FPS (the porter says no drop).
- ESL plugin means it's easy on your load order—no slot wasted.
- Community-approved on Oldrim with over 1500 endorsements, so it's proven.
⚠️ Cons
- Not compatible with other mods that modify High Hrothgar, like Claralux—so check your load order.
- Lights pop in on weather changes, a Skyrim engine bug that might annoy you.
- It's a port from 2021, so it might not be updated for the latest Skyrim patches or mods.
For Skyrim players who want a subtle visual upgrade to High Hrothgar without performance hits or lore-breaking additions. If you're a completionist who loves climbing the 7,000 steps and wants a more atmospheric summit, this is for you. Skip if you're using other mods that overhaul High Hrothgar or if you want major changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an ESL, you can place it anywhere in your load order, but keep it away from mods that edit High Hrothgar to avoid conflicts.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just install and enable—no need to manually place files.
- When uninstalling, make sure you're not standing on the panoramic bridges when you save, or you'll fall through the world on reload.
