Ellderon Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) So long ago, when Oblivion was still all the rage, I started making a mod for it. I got quite far with it, but never actually finished it.Anywhoo, I'm now thinking of re-making that mod for Skyrim Here are some images from it: http://imageshack.com/a/img109/6415/swords.jpghttp://imageshack.com/a/img337/8725/screenshot678km.jpghttp://imageshack.com/a/img121/1696/screenshot1046ig.jpghttp://imageshack.com/a/img110/1756/screenshot875sp.jpghttps://imageshack.com/i/5cscreenshot84b3qfjhttp://imageshack.com/a/img480/7716/screenshot947cy.jpghttp://imageshack.com/a/img152/6610/screenshot237ch.jpghttp://imageshack.com/a/img124/5430/helemt14em.jpghttp://imageshack.com/a/img77/2858/screenshot176vb.jpghttp://imageshack.com/a/img151/3568/screenshot263zg.jpg Now naturally, there will have to be some changes for Skyrim. I have already added a few custom NPC's and tested them, now adding the location is the challenge. So, a walled keep. Not too big, but not to small. It consists of a keep (with a temple/chapel), mansion and courtyard. The mansion is for the player and can be come his home if he buys it from the keeps current owner. It used to be owned by a duke who built a mansion as his private retreat. However, the duke fell on hard times and eventually sold it off to a rich merchant...who later decided to sell it himself. the current owner being an Order of knights, similar to the Vigilants of Stendar. Anywhoo, I'm asking for any advice in regards to picking the proper tilesets (or modders resources) to make it, and any advice in regards to actually moding the external area. Many tutorials cover creating interiors, but not exteriors. The keep itself is a home to an order of holy knights, so the interiors should reflect that. Well lit, windows, spacious. Looking into various tilesets I like the ones from the mage college, but you can't fit them into anything other than a circle. Solitude looks promising, but it rather dark and gloomy.So any ideas?As for the mansion - it's a players home and it's built separately from the keep, so a different style is valid. Maybe Strotis mannor resource? Or something simple and wooden Edited May 4, 2014 by Ellderon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hallgarth Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Solitude tile-set is probably your best bet for a mansion look. As for the exterior, you could have it partially built into a mountain-side. This would deal with the fact that a lot of Solitude exterior buildings having missing sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraeten Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Griffon Fortress or Seaview resources would serve you well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
