Hi everyone, I just wanted to start a new thread for my second Skyrim modification.

 

 

What it does:

The goal of it is to create a landscape which is more believable than the vanilla one. The Cells will be edited step by step,

I don't know how much cells I will edit in the future, this depends on my personal liking and the time I like to spend with it.

 

 

Recommended for playing:

Its highly recommended to use this mod with a high end PC, you should have at least 2GB or more of Graphic Ram.

Otherwise the game could end in CTDs since there is not enough memory to render all the new textures and objects.

You can tweak your .ini files to use this mod with 1GB of Graphic Ram, but I can't recommend this. There are up to

5 times more objects in the edited cells than in the original game. The performance will be decrease, it's about 3-5 FPS

less for me but it seems to different on each system. Some players have reported a loss of 20-30 FPS.

However you can mess around with your .ini settings to disable tree self-shadowing, this will give you some FPS.

 

 

Compatibility and possible CTDs

I create and test this all with my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti (2GB). Every cell has been personal tested to make sure there are no CTDs with 2GB.

There could be a lot of compatibility problems and conflicts with other mods since the edited cells have been flaked in the CK and I plan to do this as

complete overall, so I'm about to flak more and more cells which unluckily will increase the problems with other mods. I can't do much about it and it would

never be possible to make it compatible with thousands of other mods. I really hope you understand this.

 

 

Edited regions

Riverwood, Anise's Cabin, Old Hroldan and planty of the wilderness around as well as small parts of the Solitude and Riften regions

 

Have fun :)

I like the mod, even though it only changes a few areas but still very nice !
