Whiterun Outskirts Market
The entrance to Whiterun looking dead and empty? Whiterun not looking to be the trading hub everyone calls it? Then this mod is exactly what you are looking for.
I havent updated the mod in forever which unfortunately causes CTDs but Varakz has created a patch which should help with that.
I disabled the cooking spit for the food merchant and inn for immersion, so you actually buy food from her.
This mod adds alot of objects and visuals to the outskirts of Whiterun, it is adviseable to have a mid-high range pc to run it without any lag. Optionally you can download and install one of the older versions which is more stable but has less content, version 0.3.7 and 0.4 seem to be good options.
So if you have any lag or problems try one of those versions, I don’t have any beta testers so I always ask for feedback from the community. Don’t be afraid to report a bug you find, but also remember we do this voluntarily.
Description
As there are so many mods that improved the interior of the cities I thought to create one to improve the exterior.
Whiterun is supposed to be a trading hub and that is what I am intending to create. It contains a few well placed stalls with NPC merchants and an inn on the main road outside skyrim.
For immersion the “gate” merchants only sell common things as they are just road side hawkers. It also allows the in-city sellers to continue being useful.
The drinks merchant does not usually sell in the day time,this is on purpose as I thought it more realistic for him to sell late into the night(3am) rather than early in the day. The food seller also works till about 12 midnight as well.
I also use Cozier Villages mod which adds lantern posts all around the cities in Skyrim although I have modified my copy of the mod for personal use.
This mod does not interfere with the travelling Khajit caravan outside Whiterun.
Future Plans
Rich group that visit the inn twice a week and use the high table
Shoppers
Late night drinkers
Children beggars
Few Hovels for shoppers/merchants
Weekly Caravans
Possibly more stalls
Extra info
As it is my first mod pls be gentle and give constructive criticism and advice(advice will be awesome but not
ridiculous requests). Also if anyone (especially someone good with scripting npcs) wants to team up, I am more
than happy to share the burden.
And a warning ahead of time, I have not reached the civil war which I read some people talking about which I guess
happens in Whiterun. I can see the barricades and stuff in the CK so I built around them but I cannot vouch for how
this mod will affect the game as I have not reached that part.
Compatible mods
This mod should be compatible with Cozier Villages – Outdoor Lighting by Big Dan
Compatible and highly recommended to use 7K Better Whiterun – City Under Construction – BETA by TheFPSmachine
Known Bugs
When using a torch in the inn the lighting is glitched,if anyone knows how to fix it please let me know.
Sometimes when approaching the inn it will disappear, this is a known bug with the ck and not the mod. The door will still be visible and if you go in and out the inn should be visible again.
Do not upload this unto the steam workshop. I have expressed my desire to share the work with anyone willing and able so please do not do it on your own and claim it as yours
