📋 About This Mod

This was the first ever "large" overhaul that I made for the city of Whiterun. It was originally full of errors due to deleted references ( in terms of compatibility with other mods anyways, by itself it was never an issue,) and with the higher versions, deleted navmesh. This mod was my attempt at learning the CK a bit and I kinda did whatever I wanted to.  Trust me lol.

Those issues ( deleted references ) have been fixed. There was never any deleted navmesh in the first version of this so that was never an issue.

I have cleaned up the mod a bit, the two vendors have been disabled along with some statues that were always out of place. Thats about it.

THIS MOD IS MEANT TO BE COLORFUL AND DIFFERENT and may or may not fit well with the theme of your Skyrim. It doesn't matter to me if you are bugged by the red and blue coloring, it's there for a reason, and it is my own.

Now that Version 1 of this has been cleaned up a bit I am going to re release it for people who strangely enough have continued to use it.

This will be the only version of this that is going to be up here, and I WILL NOT BE MAKING ANY PATCHES FOR IT nor TAKING REQUESTS

I will release also, a version that uses only vanilla textures so that you may use it without issue for any texture replacer you prefer.

I have since released a much more comprehensive Whiterun Overhaul that I recommend using in place of this one but to each their own.
