Imperial Castles of Skyrim - Fort Battlements v2

Description

"Imperial walls and towers used to make me feel so safe..."

I've always felt the same way as Ralof. Castles in the Elder Scrolls games used to look much more like, well... castles. This mod tries to bring Skyrim's Imperials back to their former glory by adding parapets, battlements, and facade machicolations to all Imperial forts, towers, and ruins in Skyrim and Solstheim

New wall and tower designs inspired by:

Castle Bruma (Oblivion),

Castle Dawnguard (Skyrim),

and loosely, Castle Warwick, (England).

Don't Forget to Endorse!

In my testing this mod generates roughly an additional 100-500 draw calls in the largest Imperial forts (almost nothing, even compared to vanilla). So if you can run vanilla Skyrim with no problems, you're good to go!

This mod is NOT a model replacer. Due to how vanilla forts are constructed, new wall parts in this mod are hand-placed objects. This also helps the mod play nice with others, grants virtually no chance of CTDs, and makes it extremely easy to patch for down the road. However, you will only see the new walls and towers in locations covered by this mod and it's patches. These new models also function as Dynamic Navcuts, keeping draw calls down and eliminating the need for any navmesh edits or collision markers. Textures and Decals for the new models will use whatever textures you have installed for more seemless integration and full compatibility with texture overhauls. Parallax and Complex Material mesh options are available in the FOMOD. Lods for DynDOLOD included by default.

Patches Included in FOMOD for:

- Environs - Whiterun Watchtower Doesn't Stay Broken

- Ryn's Western Watchtower (Patch no longer supported but might work. Alternative patch: TBD)

- Alternate Perspective

- JK's Castle Volkihar

- Lux Orbis
