tibay Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Hello guys, first of all let me get this straight: I'm still workin on the CK, trying to figure out how it works and how tomod Skyrim properly. Right now I'm just fooling around with pre-existing models, so this will take some time-a lot actually. BUT: My final goal is to create a new town, or maybe just a big castle. The questio is: where should I put it? Skyrim map seems soo filled with dungeons/mines/shacks/etc. I can't find the right place!Please, would you like to give me some hints?

amycus Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) How about making a new island somewhere in the middle of the sea where you can put it?Otherwise, I think this was a map from gamebanshee that shows all the locations in skyrim. Try to find an empty spot :Phttp://cdn.gamerant.com/wp-content/uploads/Skyrim-Map-All-Locations.jpgHow about putting it on the smaller landmass to the left of Morthal?

I guess adding new land it's a little more problematic than just creating a new town. However, i'm sure buy the time I'll learn how to work with the CK, there'll be plenty of tutorials/guides abouthow creating new lands and making new towns. And yes, the space near Morthal was one of the first spots I saw, but there's a reason it's so empty: it's a giant, big swamp. I was thinking about somewhere between Whiterun and Riften, since the view is also very nice there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babageee Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 i would go left of Morthal - could be a swamp town on stilts - castle there would be no good though, would just sink into the swamp - bit like in monty pythons holy grail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imperistan Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 The Reach is actually the most open area, if you're going to put a new town somewhere on Skyrim's mainland. Otherwise, build yourself an island out in the sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack254 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 You know what? Don't BOTHER!! Grab one of the small, shity towns (like falkreath, winterhold or morthal And make it HUGE!! ) Or perhaps pave the way into High rock? Architecture is fairly similar and all.

Perhaps it is still possible to find a place suitable for your needs if looking through it carefully. I myself did find a little bit of building ground which suits my needs (trading post/small village) between Morthal and Rorikstead. Another good bet is to look around Rorikstead or looking at the areas near Korvanjund, Alftand or Snow Veil Sanctum for more snowy regions. Riften may work too. Here's another map, though a bit unreadable, it shows what sort of landscape is used where in case you're trying to find something specific.http://codamon.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/SKYRIMfullmap.jpg Edited February 14, 2012 by Thunderwolf1989 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
