📋 About This Mod
Added some COTN elements onto vanilla farmhouses using SMIM farmhouses as base but, you can easily slap in the mesh blocks to your favorite vanilla farmhouse mods using nifskope.
Inspired by 6Four9's mod Northern Farmhouses. If you have COTN overhauls, the mentioned mod will make your Skyrim look more cohesive. I'd recommend that of course.
Otherwise, this is just a vanilla version, enough to just slightly change the look of the farmhouses.
Roof shape unchanged, vanilla interior shape compatible.
Edited the lumbermill roof without the curved wood element into the water.
Also noticed a minor clipping with the walkway gate meshes (the upswept wood beam would clip into another walkway mesh in Falkreath for ex.) so I've edited it to be vanilla-like.
**Quick update/ fix for non parallax
1. 01 - Cleaned non parallax versions of parallax flags and what not. I've only noticed it in FH06, Inn, and walkway ropes. Lmk if I still missed any.
UPDATE:
2. 0 - As of Version 2. 0 of the mod, this will use only your Farmhouse textures. COTN elements now utilize the woodpost02 texture.
- Various fixes regarding UV and holes, etc.
for V1. 0/1. 01 - Whiterun wood beam texture (instead of the Windhelm wood texture, which means UV is rotated 90deg) for the COTN meshes as it looks better with my farmhouse textures. Available still on old files if you prefer that.
**Small update for non parallax (again):
2. 1 - removed leftover parallax flags from walkways
- No need to update if using FYX 3d WW.
LOD files now included in Main files.
Compatible with vanilla towns/farmhouse overhauls out of the box, maybe just minor clipping if objects are added to roof edges.
However, Northern Farmhouse roofed walkways may have minor floating lanterns from mods that add those. Some are already patched here.
Versions (2. 0):
- Static Mesh Improvement Mod - SMIM - Farmhouses with 3d ropes version
- Flickering Meshes Fix - Split meshes for Farmhouses, still with 3d SMIM ropes
* Both have the SMIM walkways with NF roof.
patches:
- No snow under the roof - parallax and non parallax
- Simplicity of Snow - Haven't used SOS yet, so I have not tested but provided a patch based on SOS farmhouse meshes (parallax and non parallax).
