Interior and Exterior Overhaul of the Whiterun Hold

Description


Whiterun Project is a mod that mix together some already existing really great whiterun mods that i found during my modding journey.
I started from these mods and i built on top and ajusted what i wanted until i got a final result that i was happy with.


Beware that some of the changes can appear subtle on the screenshots i made.
Most of the big overhaul work was done by the original mods but i tweaked,replaced/deleted trees, added rock formations and a lot of little details and environment ajustments to fit my liking.

I really like to put emphasis on the overhaul ambience of the Whiterun Hold, the different point of views and landscapes it can provide. The calm emptiness that can represent the far tundra and the hilly scenery with that big city standing strong in the middle of it.


I would love in the future to continue to update the mod by adding new details like particlesFX to certain pov areas, new soundsFX in the river and eventually try to add new idle markers and furniture npc idles to the Interior and Exterior City to allow all the populated city and travellers mods to shine and add a vibrant and lively experience to this city that supposedly represent the trade hub of the region.


Most of the big overhaul work was done by the required mods but for those who wants to know specificly what some of the changes are, here is a non exhaustive-list of the things i have touched upon :

Exterior City

- main city path tweaked and deleted a few terrains and landscapes meshes to clear the way and offer a wider a greater view of the tundra
- added new carriages on the entrance gates, tweaked the entrance appearance and the whole path from the gate to the outdoor postsigns
- added new little stockade mini defense wall near the watchtower inspired by jk's whiterun outdoors
- edited the first gate and entry walls for a more war/destruct feel and to lower the view to make the main city stand out more
- redone the whole riverside from the stables to the honningbrew meadery waterfalls (rocky river with more current water current)
- tweaked the riverwood uphill path from the 2 bridges to clearthe view for a better waterfall scene
- patch/tweaked the Whiterun expension mod here and there to fit the overhaul scenery and ajust to my liking
- overhaul tweaking and ajustment of the grass and path textures to mix better and be more cohesive with skyrimroads fences
- bunch of tree and overhaul tweaking here and there to have more a empty tundra vibe and a better experience for my liking
- added chimneysmokeFX and flying crows all around the main city interiors and to the eastside city as well to have a more lively ambience


Interior City

- tweaking main path to the market with less woodpole on the ground and more clutter objects (inspired by witcher3 crow's perch)
- new missive board on the path and a bunch of new objects added to the warmaiden's side
- tweaking near the wood chopping npc adding a new cart and stuff
- added new carriage and decoration to the market and new fences to belethor and arcadia's cauldron
- deleted the gildergreen 3d trellis big decoration meshe to clear the path for a better view of dragonsreach
- clutter added to the gildergreen area and tweaks all over the wind district
- overhaul addition of alot of new vegetation meshes to try to imitate grass on the side of the roads and dirt paths
- added new chimneysmokeFX and flying crows all around the city to have a more alive and vibrant city atmosphere

Highly Recommended Mods

BugFixes :

- SSE Engine Fixes (skse64 plugin) by aers to prevent random memory engine CTD's
- LOD Unloading Bug Fix by wSkeever
( while testing the game stability with SSE Engine Fixes i got a Lod issue so this mod came to solve it )
- Animation Queue Fix by and Paired Animation Improvements by Ershin
( Since the 2 mods add alot of new SmokeFX's and Meshes i experienced some rare random CTD while
 i was running/flying to test the mod so having those mods can probably help fixing this )
