📋 About This Mod
I DID NOT CREATE THESE TEXTURES AND MESHES. I SIMPLY UPDATED NIFS TO WORK IN THE SPECIAL EDITION. ALL CREDIT FOR THE MODS GOES TO RENTHAL311.
I found this mod on my computer and adapted it for myself to the special edition.
After various inquiries and the approval of Renthal311 I decided to upload them here again.
What the Mod does:
This mod increases the windmill wheels of all farmhouse windmills. In addition, the windmills before Whiterun get a new look, its "Renthastic" ;-)
If you dont use Dyndolod 3. 0, i recommend Winterloves Katlas Farm Sail Reangled to prevent clipping.
(DON'T USE Katlas Farm Sail Reangled WITH DYNDOLOD 3. 0)
Yesterday i made some Windows 10 Updates and now, the Windmills in Whiterun look totaly different. I add some Pictures with the new look.
My other Uploads:
R's Farmhouse and Handcarts
Increased Urn Loot SSE (english and german)
Special Thanks to:
Bethesda for Skyrim
Renthal for permission to re-upload his beautiful work

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (3,541 endorsements) — this is a proven visual upgrade
- Massive download count (687,973) shows it's a go-to for windmill fans
- Simple cosmetic change — no gameplay tweaks, just better-looking windmills
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017 — may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods
- Only affects windmills — if you want broader landscape overhauls, this is too narrow
For Skyrim players who want more imposing windmills without overhauling the whole world. If you're a modder looking to build on Renthal311's assets, this is a solid base. Skip if you want gameplay changes or a complete visual overhaul.
