Aren't you just like me and find, everytime you pass by Crow's Perch, after the Baron's departure, that the whole area offers a pitiful and shameful sight? Just like me, you witness these carpenters working all day long in the Manor's courtyard, but never getting any repair done? How can someone still be living within these walls, with all that rain coming in from all those gaping holes in the roofs? This is an existence unworthy of a squire, however humble he may be! 

But those days are now gone, my good friends! Indeed, during the Baron's absence, the quartermaster decided to take matters into his own hands! These lazy carpenters had better watch out, since the quartermaster had threaten them and their families with the promesses of the worst possible reprisals, had they failed to urgently and diligently complete the work undertaken for too long! The Baron, if he ever gets back from his journey, will finally be able to live up to his rank with dignity! 

This MOD is meant to be deployed after the Baron's related quests. Unfortunatly, since way too many quests involve Crow's Perch (the Baron's quests themselves, Ciri's quest, Return to Crookback Bog, finding Uma, etc.), and since thoses quests often leads us back in time, I couldn't set this mod to take effect automatically. It would have messed with the game files' hierarchy. Not only this mod will restore Crow's Perch to it's original state, but it will also greatly enhances it! After all, who can honestly believe that those carpenters would have only repaired the fire-related damage, totally ignoring the severe damages already present before the fire even occured?

****** UPDATE VERSION 3.0 ****** SEE NEWLY ADDED PICTURES !!!


Here is a new update! Most (if not all) of the previous version's issues are now corrected (light intensity on certain candles and torches, auto-hide issues with distance on certain newly built structures, certain items floating in the air, etc.)


I made some more openings in one of the guard's watchtower, so they can now embrace a wider field of view.


I also worked a little more on the roofs. 


I have also totally rebuilt Crow's Perch's dungeon, and therefore the building is now fully explorable! I tried my best to remain faithful to Crow's Perch's unique architetural style, buit I had to improvise a bit, considering its very unorthodox shape and having to compose with the existing meshes. At first, I used ladders to save up space on the dungeon's floors, but I ended up replacing them with some stairs instead.  

Hope you guys will enjoy! 


****** UPDATE VERSION 2.0 ****** SEE NEWLY ADDED PICTURES !!!


I wasn't quite satisfied with the previous version, as I thought the restoration left untouched several buildings in Crow's Perch, so I worked a bit more on it and here's the result! I tought it was a non-sense and affected the sense of immersion that the repairs only where for the thatched roof and interiors of the two main buildings. The carpenters, I believe, would have also repaired the other buildings around, wich were in an almost ruin-like state. I did my best, despite my limited skills, to partially render back to Perch's Crow his former grandeur! The're might be some minor cosmetic flaws, here and there, but I did my best to somehow maintain the original style of the buildings and to preserve the atmosphere wished by the game designers. 

Also, I fixed the auto-hide issue that affected some of the newly added elements of the buildings, in the previous version (Now even from a great distance, they
maintain their new look!)

I hope you guys will enjoy the now truly fully restored Perch's Crow!
