📋 About This Mod

Adds a gateway to Winterhold

.:Winterhold Gate SSE Version:.

This is a port of my mod Winterhold Gate v3. 0 from old Skyrim (Oldrim) for Skyrim Special Edition.

ESL flagged

Oldrim Version

Older versions on Bethesda.net: PC¦XB1¦PS4

Note: XB1|PS4 no longer supported

Winterhold always seemed to me to have gotten the short end of the straw when Skyrim was being made.

With its "destroyed" town vibe the city always felt too "open" and exposed to attack. With this mod I aim to fix that and add a little bit to the town.

Winterhold Gate adds a gateway to the town along the main road with two Patrolling guards making it feel more secure (like a town should be!).

.:Features:.

- A gateway to Winterhold.

- Patrolling guards.

- Guards will change sides if the hold switches control due to the civil war.

- Fully Navmeshed!

- Has Dragon Perch too!

.:My Winterhold Mods for SSE:.

Jobasha's Bookstore

Temple of Julianos

Winterhold Gate

.:Compatibility:.

Winterhold Restored - Fully Compatible

Does not touch the college so should be compatible with any mods that do such as magical Winterhold.

Special Thanks to Urtho  - who talked me through the civil war switch.

Thanks to KillerKev for the mod review

Thank you to Poepkat for providing a NavMesh fix
