A Nearly Forgotten Experiment Pt 5

About this image

As most of you are already aware, I have a soft spot for settlements, towns, and villages mods. One
such mod that caught my attention back in the day was the town of Billsburg. Situated NW of Chorrol
and slightly N of the Battlehorn Castle DLC. It had some minor conflicts and a few bugs, but overall a
nicely designed mod.

What I really liked about this one (as with any mod that does so) was the imaginative use of vanilla bits
and pieces used to create newish looking elements. Such as addon balcony and wrap around deck. Me
being me though, I didn't care much for the conglomeration of different city architectures in one small
area. Billsburg uses bits from Anvil, Cheydinhal, Chorrol, Skingrad, and standard lowerclass stuff.

So I began to retex, choosing Chorrol textures since the mod sits very near that city. Then later decided
to remodel some homes and build these nifty addons in to look as if they were always made that way. 
What you see here are the results.

Unfortunately I was never able to get permissions to publicly overhaul Billsburg. So all the effort sat on
my PC gathering dust after the initial building and testing phase was done. I thought to possibly release
the models as a resource package if there is sufficient interest.


Number 5 is IIRC the only native Chorrol architecture used in the mod. This is a Chorrol Middle Class 03
model. The highlight on this one is the built in upper balcony and door. Billsburg accomplished this via a
complex array of cobbled together vanilla bits. I've simply refined it to look like it was made that way.

    As said a number of times now:
    I am definitely in for this project. It will be set up in Hammerfell though.
    Hammerfell needs some TLC and settlements.
    I do not care for the architectural similarities cause my guess is nobody could afford that in those days.
    This will definitely sprouse up my project and others too.
    Fabulous work Mhahn!
