About this mod

Remake of the Whiterun stone walls in real 3D.

Permissions and credits
Changelogs
This mod is a remake of the Whiterun stone walls with relief in real 3D.
It also fix numerous landscape and texture bugs in Whiterun (but only in parts containing stone walls).



Please I need your support !

I love making mods and more projects are coming soon. But mods like this one represent dozens of hours of work. If you like my work, your support will be greatly appreciated and will encourage me to further contribute to the Skyrim modding community.





Installation

Install like any other ordinary mod.




Compatibility

Important :
The structure of the walls in two different meshes was preserved. This made the work a lot more difficult but as counterpart this mod remains compatible with textures mods BUT with some limitations : As the 3D structure is based on the vanilla texture, only the texture mods which only change the texture color without changing the stones layout are compatible. This also allows mods that change grass color to be compatible.
Do not use this mod with parallax textures which have not been designed specifically for it. This would break the shape of the walls.
For now, I don't know any texture full rework which is compatible with this mod, but I recommend using Vanilla Remastered (Optimized) - Textures Upscaled and Reworked from Waqas131294.

I made efforts to maintain the triangles number as low as possible but be aware that it will add about 300 000 triangles which could have an impact on limited hardware.

All the meshes are delivered with the default shader (so no parallax, complex material or pbr by default). Just run ParallaxGen to regenerate them in order to fit your textures and get the desired effects.




Load order

- This mod uses the USSEP's meshes as a base.
- With the permission of wSkeever, it forwards the changes brought by Skyrim Objects SMIMed - Warmaiden's Holes and Whiterun Objects SMIMed (and fixes too).
- With the permission of raiserfx, it also forwards some changes from Major Cities Mesh Overhaul. (Note that some of the fixes introduced in Major Cities Mesh Overhaul are managed by this mod in a different and improved way so the final result is not exactly the same, example in the image section)
- The fixes made to the walls in Whiterun Mesh Fixes are also adressed by this mod.
- There are not conflicts with Assorted mesh fixes.
- This mod also contains unique fixes (mainly terrain, grass et terrain texture fixes) in order to deliver meshes as clean as possible. If you know some mods which are fixing terrain issues not managed in this mod and concerning the same files, let me know so I could try to incorporate them.

If you have any of these mods, let this one overwrite them.
(Note that they are all still required to cover parts which aren't handled by this mod, except for Warmaiden's Holes which is fully integrated and not required.)




I you have suggestion, request or if you have spotted some bugs, don't hesitate to tell me and enjoy !
