📋 About This Mod
Whiterun is at the center of Skyrim making it the trading capital. Whiterun is also the first city the player is likely to visit. Therefore we should be treated to a much larger city to begin our journey. Whiterun will almost double in size by expanding the northeastern region of the city. All additions have been added outside of Whiterun in an area normally overlooked by other modders to preserve as much compatibility as possible. You'll find this newly added area next to the Battle-Born farm outside of Whiterun. The new area of the city is connected near Jorrvaskr.
EVERYTHING INSIDE THE RED OUTLINE IS NEW
-This mod adds 16 new buildings to Whiterun. Are you bored with your Whiterun? Remember getting lost in cities from other games? This mod makes that possible with Whiterun. All the buildings are complete with interiors. They are navmeshed and the NPCs have AI packages.
- 26 new NPCs
- Several new houses.
- New shops
- An alternate Whiterun entrance.
- Two new spells sold by a merchant Propel and Mass Frenzy
- Immersion of course
