This time, its the following mods;
Gonzeh - Riften Re-imagined is a nicely enjoyable Riften overhaul, which slightly expands and iterates upon the city's design, adding some nice detailing and a new feeling to Riften that i enjoy a lot!
RYFTEN - Make Your Riften - Inner is a mod by Yuril which is, simply put, a very modular, and nice, Riften overhaul. you can mix and match parts to make Riften the way you like it
Unfortunately, some of the parts of RMYRI is incompatible with Re-imagined, in a way that is outside of the purview of my current energy levels. Fortunately, its modular nature makes this a much smaller problem than it could be (and for that, Yuril, i am incredibly grateful). Thus - some parts are out-of-the-box compatible, some require patching, and some are simply incompatible. These incompatibilities wont cause any crashes, they'll just either clip, or wont make much sense and will be immersion breaking
Below i list what is and isn't compatible. All names are the Ryften plugin names, minus the starting "RYFTEN - " and the ".esp"
Out-of-the-box compatible (if these are the only bits you're interested in, you don't even need my patch);
Back Door Canal South
Back Door South East
BBM Epic Balcony (Black Briar Meadery)
Defenses Canal West Side North
Defenses Canal West Side South
Defenses West Side
Pathway
Compatible with my patch;
Back Door Canal North - this patch simply disables the ability to walk over the roof, because doing so places you inside the roof once you load into Riften. The pathway via the ivy still works perfectly
Canal Water Pipe - this patch disables the barrels and the walkway that sits in front of and below the pipe. The walkway goes nowhere, so not much is lost
Defenses East Side - this is perhaps the most iffy one? there's no clipping, but the part of the wall that the little... perch thing? rests on has been moved away. i disabled the now floating ivy, and the beams that would attach it to the wall. The result is that it looks rather precarious; its up to you whether or not you feel its too precarious to exist.
...aaand that's actually it. With that in mind, if you feel the Defenses East Side is too precarious for you, or you're simply not a fan of it, and you don't care for or about the water pipe (it doesn't look bad even without this patch), you might as well simply not use the Defenses East Side part and this patch, and just avoid clambering over the roof into Riften
Incompatible without a more noteworthy patch;
Back Door East - the interior side of the door in is floating a bit away from the wall, supported by nothing, and the hay bales are clipping
Bee And Barb Ship - the ship is floating away from the wall. It's still somewhat supported, but it doesnt make much logical sense, and, in my humble opinion, doesn't look great like that (it looks great if you're not running Gonzeh's though! i'd strongly recommend)
Birdhouse - it is almost entirely subsumed by the roof it is meant to sit upon. All you see is some of the roof clipping out the top
Defenses North East Corner - unfortunately, all four of these defenses ones are either clipping horribly, or float above the wall they're meant to rest on
Defenses North West Corner - see above
Defenses South East Keep - see above
Defenses South West Keep - see above
Exposed Beam - there are floating bits of beam; i could've probably somewhat patched this, but imo the gain isn't worth the effort to me, since i'm not too big a fan of the visuals
Roof Tile - see Exposed Beam, but instead of floating beam, its floating tiles
Not necessary
Back Keep Hole Fix - the back of the keep doesn't have this issue with Gonzeh's overhaul; there is no visible difference between installed and not installed
The patch is an ESL flagged ESP, to save your plugin slots
I DO NOT KNOW ABOUT COMPATIBILITY WITH ANY OF THE GONZEH PATCHES. FEEL FREE TO EXPERIMENT AND LET ME KNOW
if you have anything that you think i can improve, or any patches that you want that would be relatively simple, feel free to ask. just remember that i'm quite limited in what i have time and energy to do; i reserve the right to always just say no
ty for reading the full description. you're one of the real ones <3
yes as a british gal, typing "defenses" caused me pain. not because i think the british spelling is better, i literally dont care, its just so against what im used to lmao
