📋 About This Mod

DESCRIPTION

I made this mod after ORFP because I have always detested the low poly 8-sided posts.

Due to work in real life, this was forgotten in my loadorder. Just realised I never published it, so now I share my version with the SE community.

This mod uses the very high quality ropes of the SMIM by Brumbek.

However, SMIM is not a requirement.

The new custom-made posts fit snugly inside the SMIM ropes, making them look good.

Your own textures using vanilla path will be used.

INSTALLATION

This is just a mesh replacer, uses no scripts or plugins, so OK to install-uninstall anytime.

Download and use the mod manager of your choice, be it yourself or some program.

COMPATIBILITY

If you use SMIM, overwrite all with ORDP ~ fully compatible replacements.

ORDP does not touch Riften ~ there are other great mods for that place.

PERMISSIONS and CREDITS

I share this with the Skyrim community. Not to be used for financial gain, whatsoever.

Because other mod authors' work is involved, it is for your personal use only.

Special thanks to Thunderchild_PdP for his help and assistance on the meshes.

Thanks to Brumbek for allowing the use of his excellent work.

If somehow you still don't know about SMIM, you should consider Brumbek's SMIM. It is a neccesity.

Thanks to Bethesda for this life-invading game, and to Nexus & community for completing the invasion.

Couldn't have done it without you!

  • Lightweight mod that doesn't overhaul the entire game

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects two locations, so impact is limited
  • May conflict with other mods that alter the same docks
  • Not updated since July 2023, so compatibility with newer Skyrim versions is uncertain
