🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you use JK's Riften or JK's Mistveil Keep, grab the corresponding patches from the mod's Files tab — they're essential for compatibility.
Since the mod adds no lights, pair it with a lighting overhaul like Lux or ELFX to get glowing windows at night.
The ESL flag means you can safely add this to your load order without worrying about the 255 plugin limit.
🔧 Troubleshooting
Mod conflicts
Check load order. Disable conflicting mods one by one.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing without checking requirements
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust: 2,665 endorsements and 3.8M downloads — this is a must-have for Riften overhaulers.
- No added lights means it plays nice with lighting mods like Lux — you can pair it without conflicts.
- ESL-flagged ESP keeps your load order clean, perfect for mod lists with lots of plugins.
👎 Cons
- Only affects Riften — if you want consistency across all cities, you'll need other mods.
- Requires JK's mods for the patches, so you'll need to grab those separately if you use them.
- No light sources means windows won't glow at night unless you pair with a lighting mod — might look flat in vanilla lighting.
