📋 About This Mod
WINDHELM BRIDGE ARCHWAYS AND DOORS
This mod brings something to Windhelm bridge you never even realised you needed and is designed to make you wonder if it wasn't already there in the first place.
This is no overhaul or massive change, it's just a flourish, which it always should have had.
In testing I have had no framerate drop or any other ill side effects. Please let me know if you find anything amiss or have any mods which may conflict. I'm always happy to update, patch and bug fix, give me time though as I have little free.
All block assets have now been swapped out for new custom assets which will still should work with just about any other mods that don't modify or replace the bridge model or adjust any of the content beyond any of the outward facing doorways.
This has been tested with Vanilla and my own mix of other peoples textures, model replacements and other mods, but by no means has this testing has been extensive or covering a great many of the mods that exist on the Nexus, so please let me know when something seems to be causing issues with it.
