Vanilla Plus Riften Entrance

• []INTRODUCTION

I always felt that Skyrim cities are pretty well designed, but their decorations and clutter leave much to be desired. For a vanilla purist like me, the wonderful Spaghetti's Cities fixes much of these issues, but unfortunately it doesn't touch their main gates. This new series aims to do that: to give more personality and details to every city entrance, making them more believable while keeping their original designs, with no major layout changes or new assets. Simple is better (I hope)! Also remember that I'm still kinda an amateur modder, so if you have any suggestions and technical advices feel free to share them!

• []WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THIS MOD

Riften's main gate is underwhelming to say the least, but it's also iconic for its estortion scene from the corrupted guard. I tried to decorate the place in a sensible way, not overcluttering the place and its surroundings (so including the stables), and I looked in particular to the bastion - which I didn't even know it was accessible - and the three towers leading to the city, decorating them with clutter that you'd find in such places. I also touched the south gate, but only with a banner since there's not much there. The third gate - the one in the south-est side - was boarded up due to a large amount of bandit attacks (so it says the Wiki), so I represented it with looted clutter. No navmeshes edited, all new objects that may get in the way are navcut (hopefully), file cleaned and flagged as ESL, so it won't take a plugin spot. Let me know if something is wrong and I'll try to fix that!

• []REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

None, the mod should be compatible with anything that doesn't touch the same areas in a heavy way.

NOTE: as always, if you want to share patches for this mod, feel free to do on your own and I'll happily post them here!
