Holds the city overhaul

Today we are talking to jkrojmal, a long-time member of the site and avid modder. If you have ever wanted your towns and cities in Skyrim and Skyrim SE to be more than they are in the base game, then you might have run into one or several of jkrojmal's mods. His series known as JK's Skyrim is one of the most popular city overhaul compilations to date and will definitely add a lot of uniqueness and flavour to the various holds. BigBizkit: You are most famous for your various city overhaul mods, but could you tell us a bit about yourself first to start this off? jkrojmal: Sure, my real name is Javier, I’m a 42-year-old male from Uruguay, a small country in South America that you may not have heard about, unless you’re a soccer fan. I’ve been playing video games since my early teens and started modding soon after the Oblivion construction set came out. I’ve made a few small overhauls for Oblivion and one for Fallout 3’s Megaton but only for personal use.How would you, personally, describe the kind of mods you make? I would describe my city and town overhaul mods as improvements over the vanilla designs, keeping them lore friendly; I’m just trying to make them more immersive and interesting to explore.Darkend, on the other hand, is a completely new world space inspired by the Demon’s/Dark Souls games. Do you have a favourite among the many different city overhauls for Skyrim that you have created? Whiterun is definitely my favorite from the bunch, maybe because it reminds me of Edoras, the capital city of Rohan from Lord of the Rings. I’m a big fan of the movies! Could you talk a bit about your approach to overhauling cities? What is it that you pay attention to when refurbishing cities? Is there anything in particular that you try to aim for? I was really disappointed with the cities in Skyrim. They didn’t really feel lived-in, there were a lot of empty and unused spaces, houses didn’t have any personality, shops didn’t look like shops from the outside except for the sign etc. You get the idea.So I was pretty much looking to “fix” those things while keeping it lore friendly. I also experimented with expanding them in size at one point, but the performance was so awful that I discarded the idea right away. Which one of the major places in Skyrim did you have the hardest time with and, conversely, which city was fairly easy to redesign? Markarth, I think. I wasn’t a big fan of the Dwemer architecture back then, so that one was the most troublesome to figure out at the time. The easiest one by far was Whiterun, followed by Riverwood. Where does your inspiration for your city overhauls come from? It comes from a little common sense, I guess? Let me explain. When I was exploring the cities and towns of Skyrim, I found myself constantly wondering about small nuisances,

Find it on the desk after becoming thane.DisplaysDisplays are deliberately faction free, meaning you will not find specific displays for any of the faction questlines special unique items. The displays are themed to reflect a “living” aesthetic, as though placed on existing furnishings and shelves, not in form fitted displays. You won’t have a museum in your basement.
