📋 About This Mod
Description:
Another episode of my mad combo overhauls. This time I decided to combine two magnificent versions of Fort Dawnguard by JKrojmal and ClefJ.
Main features and changes:
-
[]Significant changes to the Dawnguard's fort interior layout: many rooms have been moved to different locations, and the overall design aims to mimic the fortress's exterior shape.[/]
[]The entire castle is vastly enlarged, with new corridors and rooms on different levels.[/]
[]The main dining hall retains the position close to ClefJ's mod with a slightly modified furniture layout and the addition of some clutter and a wine cellar from JK's.[/]
[]The dormitory was restored to its vanilla placement and utilises the JK's version of the room.[/]
[]The spot originally occupied by the main hall (JK's) / dormitory (ClefJ's) is turned into a library and a command room with a fireplace.[/]
[]The player room, taken from ClefJ's, is enlarged and includes some of JK's modifications. The room furnishings are connected to the Dawnguard's questline progression.[/]
[]The training/dogs cave (removed in ClefJ's mod) is restored and moved a bit further inside the mountain, containing all JK's additions to the area.[/]
[]ClefJ's restroom is moved to a different area, closer to the smithing section.[/]
[]JK's prison addition is repositioned to the backside of Isran's room, and the torture room is moved closer to this section.[/]
[]A few staircases and exits are moved to better match their exterior positions, and one of the doors to the outside is switched to a trapdoor with a ladder.[/]
[]Treasury rooms from ClefJ's are now placed closer to the main dining hall.[/]
[]Various rearrangements and additions of clutter and other stuff.[/]
[]The exterior castle shape is based on vanilla/JK's version, with an enlarged top floor and modified staircases' exits. The dwemer towers (big central and the ruined one) from ClefJ's have their placement adjusted. [/]
[]Meridia's statue with the pond is placed differently, right next to the main door to the fortress.[/]
[]The passage under one of the archways is closed by a wall; the passing takes place through a nearby gate with a grate, between the two towers.[/]
[]The closed pathway contains a small cemetery moved from a spot occupied by one of the towers.[/]
[]Landscape and navmesh are reworked to match the modified layout of the castle.[/]
Additional information:
[]The plugin was compacted with an ESL flag set, so you don't have to worry about losing another slot in your plugins' load order.[/]
[]The patch is based on and requires the recent versions of both mods. [/]

⚠️ Cons

- Potential compatibility issues if other mods alter Fort Dawnguard
For Skyrim modders who love both JK's and ClefJ's overhauls and want to use them together without conflicts. If you only use one of those mods, you don't need this patch. Skip if you're not interested in Fort Dawnguard specifically.
