Whole thing would require Hearthfire: Rebuild and populate the houses that have fallen into disrepair that already exist. Make a plot of land (requires Hearthfire) for the player to buy. Build houses going down to the new sea line on the slopes. A fishing cabin or two down there. A blacksmith's somewhere, an alchemy shop. Have it so once it's build up, not to it's former glory, but to a reasonable level, the general store will start having a better selection like with other cities. It would require voice acting, and experienced modding skills and would probably require an entire crew to make. The player would have to gather lots of resources like quarried stone. Would require purchasing and paying for lot's of timber to be shipped/hauled into Winterhold from one of the mills along a river. Even to have two docks with two ships by the end would be awesome. Would require a lot of money donations on the Dragonborn's part. =P Also, one could ask a stables in Riften (remember that poor stables boy you can help?) to set up a stables in Winterhold (cost a pretty penny) so that one could catch a wagon from there. Carolan's idea he links is well thought out I would recommend seeing it. If this were to be done, imagine similarly being able to pay for the walls of Whiterun to be rebuilt? As for Helgen, there's already a mod for that. My advice would be to contact the guys who run this site: http://www.theengineeringguild.co.uk/. Giskard, on the steamcommunity forum has already commented on a discussion forum about this. He/she mentioned that if there was enough interest, it would be done. So if we all send them an email requesting a quest series for rebuilding Winterhold after one becomes thane...then it could happen!
