Skyforge Complete

DESCRIPTION

The Skyforge is the best forge in all of Skyrim. It is impressive to look at, and the view from it is also impressive. However, it does seem inadequate in some areas. The obvious one is that it doesn't have a complete set of crafting stations. The less obvious ones are that the forge doesn't have any storage, a blacksmith sign, or seats for Eorlund Gray-Mane or the customers. Where does Eorlund Gray-Mane keep his raw materials and finished goods? Most forges are next to the blacksmith's house, and the blacksmiths can just go inside whenever they need to get or put away things. The Skyforge, however, is far from any building. Skyforge Complete completes the Skyforge by adding the missing blacksmith crafting stations, storage, seating, and a blacksmith sign. The differences between this mod and the dozens of other mods like it are that the stations are placed at practical locations, they don't interfere with any markers, they are placed where Eorlund Gray-Mane will actually use them, and they are placed at highly compatible locations. It is lightweight and lore-friendly, and it maintains the clean and open look of the vanilla Skyforge. It doesn't alter any navmesh and won't break any quest. One of the added crates can be use for storage. The other can be use to toggle the bench area, blacksmith sign, extra clutter, or smelter to improve compatibility. Toggling is done by activating the diamond shape studs on the crate by the stairs. Two crates and a barrel may not seem like a lot of storage, but it makes the Skyforge look more believable. Space at the Skyforge is limited, and just about every mod that alters Whiterun wants to add something there. Rather than clutter up the Skyforge and create compatibility issues, this mod takes a minimalistic approach. This allows the mod to be use with other mods that add storage and clutter to the Skyforge. All options are esl flagged and will not take up any of the 254 esm/esp slots. This is a clean and stable mod that can be added or removed at anytime.

There are multiple options for JK's Skyrim and JK's Whiterun. JK's version of the Skyforge, while great, was missing the great view from the Skyforge. The NW (No Wall) options remove the wall, add the storage crate, and reposition the grindstone and tanning rack. The JK versions of Skyforge Complete remove the surrounding wall and structures, add the storage crate, and reposition the crafting stations the way Skyforge Complete positions them. All options are esl flagged and can be added or removed at anytime.

The Capital Whiterun Expansion option adds the new options, a storage crate, relocates the bench and workbench, and fixes the broken NavMesh at the Skyforge. The reason for relocating the workbench was to put it in range of Eorlund Gray-Mane's AI package so that he will actually use it. It has been tested with both the Normal and Exterior Compatibility versions.
