About this mod Machine translation
Make solitude the original capital!
Loneliness
Solitude is the grand capital of Skyrim. The city overlooks the Hjaalmarch marsh and the Karth River from original stone arches. Without a doubt, Solitude is Skyrim's most cosmopolitan city and its largest port. Amid the ongoing civil war, the Empire directs its armies to stand alone in Skyrim. On the stone archway, solitary nobles trade in petty politics, but below where money is made. You may be thinking why? Solitude's stone arches provide natural protection from the Ghost Sea, while the Karth and Hjaal rivers connect Skyrim's mainland. An ideal location for Skyrim's largest port and Skyrim's best defended city.
Lonely City transforms a lonely port into a truly skyrim-worthy capital city. The port has been greatly expanded with new houses, shops and warehouses, and now covers both sides of the Cas River. The stone arches have been transformed into something more natural and imposing. New vendors, guards and other NPCs have also been added.
There are new interiors, but I'd like to redo them in a future update since they're still mostly copy-paste.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
