Northern Roads

What started as a simple bridge replacer has become something much, much bigger. Northern Roads removes all the vanilla road chunks in the game to replace them with more diverse roads : dirt paths in villages and in the wilderness, stone near major cities, snow and mud in colder areas and more ! This mod also comes with lots of new assets including unique bridges, wooden totems and runestones to name a few.

A lot of emphasis was put on Nordic culture and symbolism as well as on the divide between eastern Skyrim (or the "Old Holds") and western Skyrim. The east is of scandinavian and viking inspiration, whereas the west takes more from celtic and slavic cultures. Each Hold also gets some unique features, giving every one of these territories a unique identity.

Enjoy your travels, adventurer, and be careful for Skyrim's roads are as dangerous as they are beautiful.

New landscape textures

No more road meshes, every road in now texture painted (compatible with terrain parallax). This also comes with a slight performance boost.

New bridge models

Every single bridge in Skyrim has been replaced, with the exception of the Dragon bridge. The new models come with unique textures as well, matching the roads.

New buildings, clutter and decorations

Many models have been created from scratch to decorate the new roads.

LOD models

Corresponding LOD models have been created for the bigger models. Run DynDOLOD after installing Northern Roads to see the new bridges on your map and from afar. Running xLODGen for terrain LOD will also allow you to see the new roads on your map.

Compatible with Seasons of Skyrim

Northern Roads includes a "seasons" folder, containing the appropriate settings for the new roads to work seamlessly with Seasons.

Can be installed on an existing game

No permanent reference is touched by Northern Roads, so you can install it with no issue on an existing game.*

So good you can consider it an official add-on

Northern Roads comes with a one-fits-all Grass Patch. You can find it under the Miscellaneous category in the Files tab. This is to be used if you are experiencing grass growing everywhere in the middle of roads.

For other patches, you will most likely find what you need in Northern Roads' dedicated Patch Collection :
