📋 About This Mod
Description
This mod overhauls the Temple of the Divines, located in Solitude. The mod makes almost entirely use of Skyrim assets with a few custom-made meshes to fit the needs of the Cell. it should be compatible with most HD re-meshes and re-textures out there as long as they stay close to the original shapes they are replacing. I am using a few myself and have not come across any problems so far.

⚠️ Cons
- Description is bare-bones—no details on what exactly changes, so you're going in blind.
