📋 About This Mod

Icy Windhelm makes the city feel appropriately cold, given its location in Tamriel.

City Entrances Overhaul - Windhelm makes the approach to the city feel much more magnificent, and gives Windhelm a really proper introduction, in a way.

Problem is, the static objects (icicles and snow drifts) added by Icy Windhelm are meant for the vanilla location. So, I fixed that. No more floating snow and ice.

Plugin is ESP flagged as ESL.
