📋 About This Mod
I noticed that occasionally NPCs would get stuck on the new signs from Skyrim 3D Signs, because the navmesh wasn't changed so NPCs are not aware there is an object in the way and try to walk through. I added some navcut boxes which should direct the NPCs to go around the signs. Here's a video to demonstrate the change:

Navcuts were added to signs in the following locations:
-
[]Half-Moon Mill
[
]Hollyfrost Farm[]Sarethi Farm
[]Windhelm Stables
Also a version without Windhelm Stables and Hollyfrost Farm available. This is intended for users of JK's Windhelm Outskirts and the accompanying patch collection.
Plugin is ESL flagged.
