A lore-friendly overhaul of the Mistveil Keep in Riften.
The ESP has been cleaned with the SSEEdit auto clean feature and flagged as an ESL, so it doesn't count towards the ESP limit.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive community trust (17k endorsements) — this is a must-have for palace overhauls.
- 4.3 million downloads prove it's one of the most popular building mods out there.
- Simple 'enhanced palace overhaul' — exactly what it says, no bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021 — might have compatibility issues with the latest Skyrim patches.
- No detailed feature list provided, so you're going in blind on what exactly changes.
- Only overhauls Mistveil Keep — if you want other palaces, you'll need other mods.
For Skyrim players who want a more detailed and immersive Riften palace without overhauling the whole game. If you're a completionist who loves visual upgrades to major locations, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes — this is purely cosmetic.
