📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 4,159 endorsements and 1.7M downloads.
- Simple, focused improvement that doesn't bloat your load order.
- Works well with SMIM setups, a staple for many modded playthroughs.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2022 — may not be patched for the latest Skyrim version, though likely still functional.

For Skyrim modders who want to polish every corner of the game, especially those who already use SMIM and appreciate high-quality meshes. If you're a completionist who notices small details, this is a must-have. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or major overhauls — this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install; it will overwrite the original meshes automatically.
- Make sure to place this mod after SMIM in your load order to ensure its meshes take priority.
- Check if you have any other mods that modify Solitude's festival decorations to avoid conflicts.
