📋 About This Mod

What this mod does:

  • []Fixes missing and incorrect object collision (1 of which was game-breaking; you could walk into the object, but not out of it)

    []Adjusts a few rock piles and objects to hide exposed world gaps

    []Fixes a handful of floating plants and objects not addressed in other patches/fixes

    A huge shoutout to 4R4NDMbGY3 for his help troubleshooting in my fight against .nif files. Go check out some of his work!

    These are all issues present in the latest version of "Northerm Roads" (1. 3. 1)

    For Vanilla Skyrim Floating Objects, check out my fix here: Comprehensive Vanilla Floating Object Fix (load BEFORE this mod; this fix should overwrite 'Comprehensive Vanilla Floating Object Fix to ensure alignment with 'Northern Roads')

    Installation

    There are two ways to install this mod:

    1. The Simple Way

      2. The Manual Way (NOT referring to manually installing mods directly to data folder)

        []Download 'Northern Roads' and unpack its .zip file

        []Repack both mods into their separate .zip files and install with your mod manager of choice

        The 'Manual Way' ensures that the collision fixes will be working regardless of where you load my patch
