✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust — 2,957 endorsements and over a million downloads say it all
- Simple, focused change: swaps ugly hexagons for cleaner circles, no bloat
- Still updated as of December 2023, so it's likely compatible with current Skyrim versions
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects Riften's hexagonal meshes — if you wanted broader city overhauls, this won't cover them
- Cosmetic only — no gameplay impact, so if you're after functional changes, look elsewhere
For Skyrim players who notice Riften's ugly hexagonal architecture and want a quick, lightweight fix. If you're a completionist aiming for a fully polished Riften, this is a solid pick. Skip if you want major overhauls or gameplay tweaks — this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install — it's a simple mesh replacer, so just drop it in and enable
- Check your load order — place this mod after any other Riften overhauls to ensure its meshes take priority
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, verify the mod's compatibility with your game version, as mesh mods can break with updates
