📋 About This Mod

Thuldor's Ivarstead

Very small mod. Simply uses a texture set of the Riften stone and applies that to the static meshes using only an esp (flagged esl). Makes the buildings feel more "Riften"y or something and gives them a bit of a difference when using COTN Falkreath.

Extremely compatible, does not edit any placed objects.

Includes patch for Thuldor's Ivarstead - Farmhouse Roofs
