⚠️ Cons

  • Only addresses the Castle Dour spire—if you want broader SMIM coverage, look elsewhere.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a mesh replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no special load order needed.
  • If you use other Solitude overhauls, check for conflicts—this mod only touches the spire, so it should play nice with most.
  • Make sure you have the original game files intact—this mod replaces a vanilla mesh, so it won't work if another mod already overwrites it.
