📋 About This Mod

Adds several new ruins across Skyrim

Currently has 3 different ones

Incredibly lightweight

This is just a very simple visual addition to the road near Riverwood, north of Morthal in the Swamp and just west of Falkreath, showing signs of an old fort from a bygones era. This is entirely visual only and is incredibly compatible from all of my testing. I have taken a lot of inspiration from the work that the Level Designers for Enderal did for this so those of you who have played Enderal might feel a bit more at home here. I have included my other mod Ruins Over Riverwood within this mod as well to keep things all in one place.

This relies entirely on Navcuts to keep compatibility high and has had occlusion added to help with the draw call hell that is Riverwood. There are very few patches necessary for this mod to work flawlessly but do let me know if there are any incompatibilities with any of the locations (just don't use imgur for links bc im in the UK lmao).

Do let me know if there are any locations you think could do with this similar sort of treatment!

First install my other mod Whiterun City Walls - Collision Redone

Install as any other mod with a mod manager of your choice

 !! Make sure to run your LODs again !!
