📋 About This Mod
The idea for this mod came from my desire to take a different view of Whiterun. Initially made just for my modlist, seeing that some people were liking the result, I decided to take the project forward. So my first mod in this category.
This mod will add new flowers, trees, chests, trees in addition to adding a structure right at the entrance of the city that has an enchantment and alchemy table. I always wanted to have these two tables in more accessible places. Hope everyone likes it!
OBS: This mod was made to be used only him, if you add any other mod in Whiterun, you will certainly have problems. Wanting to work on some patches, I need to understand how this is done, again I inform you and my first mod in this category.
All new flora added cannot be collected. The reason is simple, I don't like to remove the plants inside the city, it leaves the city dead for a while until they return. For this reason no object is collectable. More certainly in the next updates I should add a region only for collection. Hope you like it!
New Version 2. 0: In Version 2. 0, the trees that were added in Version 1. 0 were removed. Now I'm using Vanilla models, that is, if you use any tree mod that replaces vanillas, your Whiterun will be affected by that mod.
OBS: If you need a patch for a tree mod, I am willing to create it, just report me the problem that I will solve, if you have permission from the author of the tree mod in question.
Two new images were added to the mod, showing how the city looked using the Mashup Tree BigHead.
This new version is compatible with Dawn of Skyrim, if you find any problem just report it to me and I will analyze it to be able to solve it.
Hope you like it!

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community traction with 220 endorsements and nearly 7k downloads
