📋 About This Mod

Hi there, I did a thing. I always hated that the whiterun double doors were carelessly placed and had really bad clipping. This is true for the exterior entrance to Dragonsreach and some of the interior tileset pieces where these doors are used. I've asked around, but nobody with the skillset took it on. I'm really not a 3D artist, but I did my best. After correcting the wooden beam in the door frame, I noticed that vanilla placement was also really poor. I've since corrected this as well.

This mod includes fixed meshes and an (optional) eslified esp.
