Loki180 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) Hey guys!!! =====I will not make this mod if there is already one made! I have not had a look======== So I think we have all been to each city that Skyrim has to offer from Windhelm too Markarth and all that is in between. Now from a performance point of view its great, But have you ever watched a medieval movie to see the dank dark cities full of death famine disease, violence all that dark ages stuff we love! Does that show in Skyrim? Not really OK in Markarth there is a little feud going on but come on. What I am going to start work on, Is a mod to bring this feeling to life. I am sure you saw the great Live action trailer for the game before release? That city looked amazing. the cities in the game do not look as dark and dirty as that take Whiterun. its bright its happy its nice. I think you get the idea. So here we go features!More shops (stalls)Darker citiesRoof top access (the guards will also have advantage of this)more NPCs, SlumsClutterCrime (gangs, Mafia)More to come I would guess this will attack performance a lot but I am sure a lot of systems these days will be able to handle it. It will take time to make as I have lost a lot of my mod making abilities. But I have some spare time. City Order.WhiteRunWindhelmRiftenSolitudeMarkarth The minor Cities will be redone too, but will less going on. Any ideas thoughts or comments just let me know. New Additions.Where did all These catapults come from during the attacks? Added a War area Edited July 9, 2012 by Loki180 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhegonus Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 sounds great.. don't envy your workload though :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidD Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 This sounds like a great idea. The towns are very tidy and clean, which can be understood in some cases but a lot of the time it's just weird that there's nothing anyway. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki180 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Whiterun is almost done, My first go I think I did too much. Still trying to work out a good balance, Whiterun being a trade capital as it is there is a lot of clutter. The other cities would be slightly less. i.e more stores more people bigger feel in a whole. What I have done thus far is look pretty good, there has been a slight FPS drop but that is expected. Will work on this more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick2me Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 To combat the performance issues that may come with this mod, you could make the vanilla cities the upper/middle class districts of the cities which would contribute to them being more cleaner. Than you could make a lower class district as a new cell. It would be a poor, filthy, and disease infested area. These areas would be dangerous with more criminals, feral animals, and abusive guards.

Loki180 Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) I like the idea of putting it in a new cell. I had the idea of making different classes for the cities but never thought of putting them in another cell. I think one main thing though would be to test the Civ war on Whiterun, Solitude and Windhelm. If there is going to be issues it will be with that quest. I think I will need to consult other modders on how to make that work, but it will give far more FPS to mess with Edited July 10, 2012 by Loki180 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki180 Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) Added Street mist, gives off a very nice effect in the dark. Added a small gang (no script nor unique dialogue as of yet) Will have their gang members walk the street, if they cross paths with the other gang they will fight, in addition both gangs will respawn. More guards have been added called 'Whiterun Archers' on the roof tops. Whiterun is near finished. The lower district is close to finished the higher district will not take as long to finish. Mainly beautification i.e flags plants. and a nicer class of people than the lower city area Edited July 10, 2012 by Loki180 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanOsb133 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Love the idea. But PLEASE for the love of god, make an Open City Version :P I can't stand having to sit at a loading screen for 20 minutes just for it to crash or to have to go inside the city take two steps and enter a building... If you are willing to go all out, I would say redo the cities completely. New Mesh and Textures for the buildings and a new world space! (yes that means no open city :( ) but it would be worth it. Make the cities BIG! The thing that has been frustrating me is that these cities are supposed to be GIANT! They feel like little villages more than cities. They hold what, 30 people max!?!? I want cities that could hold a thousand :P But thats just me. ut if you are willing I would personally say go all out and make bigger cities and give it cool things like the gangs but make the cities so big that there are 2-4 gangs Per city... Idk if this makes sense I still have yet to go to bed and its like 8 in the morning... xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki180 Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 It would be very demanding on FPS if it was open Cities, the work I have done thus far has taken a small amount of FPS once Whiterun is finished I am not sure what the FPS will be down too (not too much I hope) I love the idea of massive cities again the first thing that comes to mind is FPS for some peoples rigs but theses days I am sure they can take it. I did have the idea of building an entire new city. Adding many districts from gang controlled slums too mansions without taking away from the lore. It would be the size of a normal Skyrim city for each area/district. With many quests in each area and the ability to buy a house in each district. Voice acting will be a must (I have the means to do so) It would take many man hours but would add a new feel to the game.But before that I will continue with finishing Whiterun, half of it is done now, the first bit should be up today, but there has been a few bugs that have took me back. But nothing I could not handle. =D Thanks for all your support!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki180 Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 Added around, 34 NPC sandboxers to the lower area. giving whiterun a more cramp city feel. Added three new vendors to bulk up the back street, One Blacksmith One Misc, and a Drug Dealer behind a house. Sells Skooma, That Sugar thing, and a new drug called Snow White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
