📋 About This Mod

SOLSTHEIM IN SKYRIM

Hello, all. Solsthiem in Skyrim is back up, now for all SE and AE users.

After all this time, this is still a permenant mod in my game.

No more empty beaches, this mod allows more Dragonborn DLC monsters in Skyrim

including Netches, Lurkers, and some rieklings to the north tundra.

Why? Because it's atmospheric and needed.

Mods that go REALLY GREAT WITH THIS.

Netch Whales

GKB Waves Reborn

Sea of Spirits

Seagulls of Skyrim

Depths of Skyrim - An Underwater Overhaul SSE

Cleaned with tes5edit. Super, super, mod compatible friendly.

If you manage to make this mod incompatible, future modders will need to study your genius.

This mod improves the Northern Coast by placing new creatures from the Dragonborn DLC.

These include Netches, Lurkers, and Seekers.

I have used this for my own for a while. I really like it and I find it essential.

Small file, big difference!

Feel like the coasts were missing some sort of, awe?

Solstheim in Skyrim fixes that by placing some very much aesthetic creatures to fill in the empty spaces.

These creatures have been carefully placed by me for the best scenic transformations to the Sea of Ghosts.

Compatibility

1. Uses only the Dragonborn DLC for the creatures, so its very safe and performance friendly.

2. does not delete anything or affect Skyrim esm

3. works great with other mods including Northern Encounters.

More Nerd Facts

-theres a special lovely mudcrab haunting the ocean somewhere

-theres a funny nod to the rieklings somewhere (hint: if rieklings went to skyrim which place would they be?)
