📋 About This Mod

DESCRIPTION

Adds a horse statue near the entrance of Whiterun, showing the symbol of the city in all its glory. The file is flagged as an ESL so it won't take a slot in your load order. Enjoy !

COMPATIBILITY

I highly recommend to use it in conjunction with EEK's Beautiful Whiterun. If you use Open Cities Skyrim, be sure to download the appropriate version of my mod. The Skyrim Sewers 4 version places the statue in the pond near Dragonsreach so it doesn't covers the manhole.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a simple mesh addition, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no load order worries.
  • If you're using other Whiterun overhaul mods, test placement to ensure the statue doesn't clip with new structures.
  • Check the mod's comments for user screenshots to see how it looks in-game before installing.
