📋 About This Mod

A new take on the buildings in Windhelm.

Here's a new take on all the houses in Windhelm. After Skyking released his windhelm bridge overhaul i saw some screenshots of ESO and liked the style quite a bit, so i took on the arduous task of making a combination of the two and then it kind of snowballed. But here's what i came up with.

The new meshes have taller, more pointed roofs. Wood beams along the top and sides for a more nordic feel. As well as various metal and wooden decor that varies between each building.

i also added some chimneys roughly where the fireplaces are in the interiors, so the esl file adds smoke to said chimneys and removes the smoke from buildings without fireplaces in the interior.

These meshes are a bit performance heavy compared to vanilla, so be aware. A lighter version is provided that keeps the main changes while removing most of the smaller additions to make it more performance friendly.

Should be compatible with nearly everything, with minor clipping depending on how mods place the meshes, like Capital WIndhelm Expansion.
