⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing without checking requirements

👍 Pros

Huge community favorite with 10,201 endorsements and 2.7 million downloads—clearly a must-have for many.
Gives each border crossing its own identity, making the world feel more alive and distinct.
Lightweight and purely visual—no gameplay changes, so it's safe to add to any load order.

👎 Cons

Last updated in 2017—might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim SE patches or other mods.
Only affects three border crossings—if you want more variety elsewhere, this won't cover it.
No detailed description of what each gate looks like, so you're going in somewhat blind.
