Skyfall's Blue Palace Courtyard

~ Introduction ~

Completely revamps the entrance to the Blue Palace - the entrance is now dignified, elevated, and centered (it now finally matches the interior cell entrance). No longer will entering the Blue Palace feel like using the servants side door like in vanilla. Entering the palace will now feel important. Immersion! :)

The Blue Palace courtyard now features a grand palace staircase, a tidy well-kept garden and green space. Everything in the garden layout is organized and well cared for, fitting for a regal palace.

— Blue Palace entrance is now centered and elevated. Exterior matches interior finally.

— a grand palatial staircase up to entrance.

~ Inspiration for creating this ~

I sincerely apologize, because once you notice and realize how awkward and strange the vanilla entrance is - you can’t “unsee” it. Here’s two Reddit post that helped stir some inspiration -
