📋 About This Mod
Watchtowers of the Rift
A mesh replacer utilizing Base Object Swapper. ESP is marked ESL. Conflict free replacement of all the civil war watchtowers (RTCivilWarWatchTower01.nif) in the Rift. Uses an edited version of a whiterun watchtower from YAR - Yuril's Additional Resources. (Technically does not require YAR, but Yuril's resource permissions want their mod to be listed in the requirements and most people don't read mod descriptions so I can type it out anyways.)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 174 endorsements and over 34k downloads
- Lightweight and focused—does one thing and does it well
- Base Object Swapper means no plugin conflicts, just drop-in mesh replacement
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects one tower mesh, so visual variety is limited
- Requires Base Object Swapper, an extra dependency you'll need to install
- No screenshots or detailed previews in the description, so you're flying blind on the look
For Skyrim modders who want a fresh take on the civil war watchtowers without overhauling the whole game. If you're already using Base Object Swapper and want a subtle visual upgrade, this is a quick win. Skip if you're looking for major changes or don't want to bother with dependencies.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Base Object Swapper installed and active, or the mesh won't swap.
- Load order doesn't matter much here since it's a mesh replacement, but keep it enabled in your mod manager.
- If you're using other mods that alter the same watchtower mesh, check for conflicts—this one should overwrite cleanly with BOS.
