I have already planned to increase the number of buildings and NPCs in Skyrim. I don't think another city is that important, I'd rather see that the existing ones get bigger and more lively. Initially I'll be adding about 1-2 buildings to every town, village and city with about 4-6 NPCs each, whose only purpose will be to walk around the streets, visit the pub in the evening, and so on. The purpose with this mod is to give more quantity, not quality: so only sparse dialogue, no quests. What's important with this mod is esthetics: it will blend in with existing buildings & interiors, so no undecorated house-shells thrown down at random places! Same thing with the NPCs, they don't need an amazing backstory, I just want them to seem like natural citizens; working, eating, praying, getting drunk, sleeping, repeat. The sooner this gets done the better. So if anyone wants to join me I'd be happy. Just any of the homes & npcs (together with individual schedules of course) would be welcome help. As long as it's all well made and naturally placed! As for a more extensive mod: we could add some shops and services too; nothing fancy, just your regular clothier, potterer, bookshop, apothecary, and so on. Perhaps a temple if any town or large village doesn't have one already. The ultimate goal would be to add perhaps 2-3 buildings to every village, and 4-6 buildings to every city. The towns/villages would still be small (even though you can't compare a game with the real world) but it would make a huge difference. I really think we should try to get organized with this. There seems to be a lot of people interested. And it's better with one thoroughly made mod than three halv-made ones. We should get together and make up some plans, divide up the areas (if we're like 5 people, the number of towns/villages per person isn't that huge any longer), and then get started as soon as the kit gets released. However, one BIG important thing: if an "additional building"-mod doesn't blend seamlessly into the game I won't use it. And I belive a lot of people feel the same. I only want to work together with people who really knows the difference between just making a house and making one that blends in. Please send me a PM if you're interested!
