📋 About This Mod
Requires the Tundra Homestead Creation!
I quite like Tundra Homestead, it's a comfy place I often use whenever I'm in the area. The exterior, however, always bothers me whenever I'm walking by.
The Dunmeri lamps, the overgrowth of vines on the house and ESPECIALLY those aspen trees from the Rift. To me it really just screams, "Hey! Look at me! I'm a unique modded home! Don't I look unique?!". The overload of trees also makes it feel very busy and cluttered, especially where everywhere else you look in the area is practically barren in comparison.
I'm sure many people love that, however I always wanted it to feel a bit more "vanilla-fied", for lack of a better word. I find it now blends with the nearby farms and aspen-less tundra much better.
So that's all this patch does - disables the few things that bothered me - the lamps, the vines, and the aspen trees. Maybe they bothered you, too.
Alternate versions available: One will remove the trees and vines but keep all the Dunmeri lamps. The other removes everything except the two lamps framing the door, which have been replaced with regular Nordic lanterns.
You only need to use one file - whichever version you want.
All versions flagged as ESL.
