📋 About This Mod

Description:

There are hearths in the interiors of houses in suburban Solitude. However, the buildings, oddly enough, do not have chimneys outside.

Let's fix this nonsense!!!

  • []new models of chimneys

  • []fully compatible with retextures

    []also, I made some changes to the porches and shed meshes as the Vanilla ones look too plain and flat for my liking

    []added some small details

  • []fixed some issues in geometry, UV mapping, Vertex color

    []entrance doors in the interiors were replaced with the same ones as in the exterior
