I'm a sucker for big, massive and ancient walls, like Markarth Entrance Overhaul and Fortified Whiterun. It adds so much to the impression and feeling of a big and important city with ancient history. As we all know, vanilla Winterhold is puny in this regard - it is not only tiny, the 'city' doesn't even have a wall at all! When I saw pinkfreud38's Nordic Wall Ruins I just had to have it in my game. It is exactly what Winterhold needed. Grand, yet ancient and ruined.
This is a standalone version of pinkfreud38's fantastic Nordic Wall Ruins for Winterhold adapted for JK's Skyrim and/or Cities of the North - Winterhold.
This does not require the original mod but consider just downloading the original mod which is bigger and navmeshed. Actually, just go download it anyway, just to endorse pinkfreud38's work!
Disclaimer:
I have not yet spent the time learning to navmesh, and since the original navmesh conflicted with JK's in some areas I just ditched all navmesh and instead placed the wall where JK's would be (incl the enterance) and added NAVCUT collision boxes to the wall to prevent NPCs from running into it. In testing this seems to be fine, NPCs navigate both entrances well. However, I'm pretty sure NPCs wont be able to get up on the wall itself.
Changes:
- Removed all changes except the main wall to minimize conflicts, including navmesh.
- Moved the entire wall closer to the city, to the position where JK's wall was.
- Replaced most of JK's wall and adapted some assets.
- Removed all wall parts around the back of the city/college bridge.
- Added an entrance around the back entrance of JK's.
- NAVCUT collision boxes + Occlusion boxes added to the new wall.
- Larger banners and smaller trees to create a sense of scale.
- Minor adjustments such as adding torches and snow piles inside the main entrance and icicles on the wall.
- No landscape edits to minimize conflicts.
Intended combo for the complete CN Winterhold experience:
