📋 About This Mod
ABOUT UNIQUE BORDER GATES Unique Border Gates redesigns the border crossings of Cyrodill, Hammerfell and Morrowind by adding new, unique and immersive gates. No two are alike and I believe the design reflects the area well. Each location is discoverable and you can fast travel after discovery.

The following are brief and spoiler-free descriptions of each gate.
- []Dunmeth Pass Gate Located in northeastern Eastmarch Hold along the northern road leading into Morrowind, this gate is of Imperial design. It has recently experienced a destructive battle during the Civil War.
- []Pale Pass Gate Located in southeastern Falkreath Hold along the road leading into Cyrodiil, this gate is all that remains of an old ruined fortress of Whiterun design. Imperial soldiers have fortified the gate to protect the Pale Pass.
- []Silgrad Pass Gate Located in eastern Riften Hold along the southern road leading into Morrowind, this gate is of Riften design. Last anyone knew Riften soldiers were guarding it against bandits and smugglers.
- []Talos Pass Gate Located in southwestern Falkreath Hold along the road leading into Hammerfell, this gate is of ancient Nord design. It features massive stone structures and an impenetrable iron gate. It is so named in dedication to Talos, who is said to have spent time in the region, with a statue frequented by adventurers heading west.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community favorite with 10,201 endorsements and 2.7 million downloads—clearly a must-have for many.

⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017—might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim SE patches or other mods.

For Skyrim Special Edition players who want to enhance the visual immersion of the world without altering gameplay. If you're tired of the same generic border gates and want each province entrance to feel unique, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for gameplay overhauls or if you're on a version of Skyrim that's been heavily modded with conflicting location edits.
