While it works alone it looks best used with either Nernie's City and Village Expansion or Nernies Solitude and the Solitude Docks / City of Trade Mods.

Cities in Skyrim seem small and empty, lots of prime building plots just growing weeds.
Solitude is supposedly the Imperial Capital of Skyrim yet we find the Outer Bailey occupied only by weeds and a dirt path, inside the same, very few houses and lots of empty plots of land.
This Mod fills the outer part of the city and lets you feel you are in the Capital.
Stone steps instead of a dirt path lead up through the outer part of the city to the main gate.
An extra Tavern a Blacksmith and Trader give the feel of entering a City. Houses tower up and away on each side.
Inside the main city there are extra houses filling the view to give more depth, extra market stalls and buildings fill out the space. Now we have streets and avenues instead of isolated buildings.

I have added three interiors inside the city, one of them can be occupied by the player.
I have plans for further expansion with traders and citizens so some of the buildings can't be entered yet.
In the outer part of the city the Tavern and Sop are complete as is the Blacksmith and one other but here are still buildings that as yet can't be entered.

When I have some feedback as to what people want I will add occupants and interiors.

Tested with Solitude Docks District and Proudspire Mods and it all works OK.
Mods that add lots of buildings to the city will have problems as they will be trying to occupy the same space.

Working on updates incorporating suggestions by other users and to make it compatible with other Mods for Solitude.
