Compatibility
This mod will conflict with other mods that edit Winterhold area.
I personally checked compatibility with The People Of Skyrim Complete SSE, it works with no issues , but you'll need to disable via console few trees near Windyridge.
If you are missing purchase sign, it means that some other mod is overriding exterior near Windyridge. To solve this put windyridge near bottom of the load order and check incompatible mods with SSedit.
Install/ Uninstall
Via Vortex or other mod managers
Important! Before uninstalling mod empty all containers, move your family somewhere else and exit interior cell.
