📋 About This Mod
"Hmph. 'Solitude.' Lonely Cicero could tell you a thing or two about solitude..."
-Cicero
Here is the Great City of Solitude as I think it should be.
I based this mod off the original concept art for the game, and Tudor style towns. It's Hand-made, Realistic, Lore-friendly and High Quality.
Exteriors: - Reddish stone block walls - Tudor style
- Dark pine wood
- Real cobble streets
- Faux wetness shader on the streets to emulate a post-rain effect
- Proper clay/ceramic roofs (like in the concept art)
- Real castle walls (hand made, inspired by dark souls)
- Proper stucco walls, not plaster
- Brownish grass - more realistic and blends better
- Reworked hand-made metal and Tudor style doors
Interiors: - Stone, lots of stone
- Hand-made marble castle floor
- Hand-made, highly detailed interior doors
- Castle walls, pillars and supports are rough stone
- Fancy hand-made decals
- Rustic like a real castle
Not included: - Windows - there are so many better window mods out there
- Parallax - maybe at one point
Compatibility
Installation
Download either 2k or 4k
Download files for doors - your pc will explode if you don't
Download the 8k file if you want to, and let it overwrite
I do hope you like this mod, I feel that I put my best work in this, so please endorse it would mean a lot.
