📋 About This Mod

An expansion of RedBag's Rorikstead :)

I'm a massive fan of RedBag's city and town overhauls. I love Falkreath and I also use Solitude and Rorikstead. After some discussion with others in Discord about Rorikstead and people saying they love it but would love there to be more there I decided to expand on RedBag's work and create a bigger Rorikstead whilst keeping the unique style.

I spoke to RedBag on Discord who gave me their blessing to expand Rorikstead and use any resources from their mods to do so. So included in my enhanced version are a few custom meshes I made to match the style of Rorikstead and the Druid House meshes RedBag made for the separate mod.

I really enjoyed working on this one. It's not over the top, it adds things but tries to keep in the spirit of the original mod.

Current features:

- Adds extra decor around Rorikstead matching RedBag's style and textures.

- Adds a Woodcutters house (currently no NPC as I haven't figured that out yet).

- Adds a stables and Stable Keepers house (currently no NPC as I haven't figured that out yet).

- Adds a graveyard! Rorikstead is very open and prone to Dragon attacks. It felt fitting to add one.

- A buried house that sunk after heavy rain and a rockslide.

- Another buried house near the stables that has a little Skeever nesting in it :)

Compatibility:

Pretty much the same as the original mod. Things like JK's, etc are incompatible. I believe there's a patch out there that disables JK's Rorikstead from the AIO if you want to use this alongside RedBag's Rorikstead and JK's AIO.

Planned updates:

- An lightweight overhaul of Lunds Hut as a separate version. I left it out of the current release for anyone who uses overhauls/patches for the area already. Any ones you used that are patched for RedBag's Rorikstead will work with my enhanced edition.

- NPCs for the new houses and some guards around the borders.

- Patches for things like tree mods, etc. Installing it on my main build made me realise I need a patch myself as I use a forest around Whiterun.

- Some kind of grass patch. Depending on what grass mod you use, there might be a bit too much grass near the stables because I added a dirt path leading to it.

I hope you enjoy this mod and a massive thank you to RedBag for all the great overhauls and the go ahead to expand on Rorikstead!
