COMPATIBILITY
Northpoint only edits one vanilla cell – POINorthernCoast14 – adding the tiny Northpoint Landing location. So it’s compatible with most mods. The following are known exceptions:
4K Parallax Skyrim : Specifically Parallax Meshes Dungeons Cave Green 1.2 . It gives Northpoint cave roots an unusual rocky/matte texture. Not game-breaking.
KNOWN ISSUES
None, currently. If you discover something amiss, please contact me and let me know.
Q & A
Q: How do I get to Northpoint?
A: Travel to Northpoint Landing, pick up the Northpoint Sea Charts and then activate the rowboat.
Q: How do I get back to Skyrim?
A: Activate the rowboat located at Northpoint Docks.
Q: Where are all the quests?
A: There aren’t any! It’s a pure exploration experience. Although, the dungeons and settlements are set up with Skyrim’s keywords system, so it’s *possible* a radiant quest might send you here.
Q: Is this the same mod that was announced several years ago?
A: Yes.
Q: So this has been in development for several years?
A: No, it was abandoned. Thanks to nexus user Andrew21022, I felt inspired to resurrect it and get it presentable. A lot of hard work went into this back in the day, particularly Kaelin’s awesome work creating the new creatures, and it’s not right that it just sat collecting dust.
Q: Why have you only listed manual installation/uninstallation?
A: I’m a relic and never adapted or learned how to use Vortex!
Q: Is there a Skyrim SE version?
A: Yes, you can find it here.
Q: Is this mod finished?
A: Yes, 1.0.0 is full release. Though patches may be released if issues are found.
