About this mod Machine translation
This mod allows players to clear the destroyed tower on the bridge east of Riften, which is then repaired and populated by Dawnguard.
This is based on my Fort Takeovers - Fort Fellhammer mod, mainly to show off additional features.
This may conflict with anything that changes the ruined tower at (46, -25).
Your progress on the Dawnguard dlc is not currently checked. If you kill both bandits, the tower will be repaired and the Dawnguard will be there forever.
Immersion: Aside from being an unmarked ruin, this location actually seemed pretty friendly to me. This is the best location for the Dawnguard Watchtower as it is right next to the main road leading to Fort Dawnguard. Another path leading south has been watched by the Vigilants of Stendarr's Beacon. One could also imagine that Isran had a special arrangement with Maven Black-Briar. This allows him to be stationed there as an additional protection/early warning system against threats from Morrowind via Silgrad Pass (which is why there is a Riften banner on the tower). I'm sure she wouldn't mind having the Free Guard closer to the Black-Briar Lodge either.
Need my mod Fort Takeovers.

This mod allows the player to clear the ruined tower just east of Riften over the bridge, which will then be repaired and populated by the Dawnguard.
This is based on my Fort Takeovers - Fort Fellhammer mod, and is mostly meant to show off other features.
This will probably conflict with anything that changes the ruined tower at (46, -25).
Currently doesn't check your progress in the Dawnguard dlc. If you killed both bandits, the tower will be fixed and Dawnguard will be there, always.
For immersion: Besides being an unmarked ruins, this location actually seems pretty lore friendly to me. This would be an optimal place for a Dawnguard watchtower since it is right next to the main road leading to Fort Dawnguard. The other road to the south is already watched by the Vigilants at Stendarr's Beacon. One could also imagine that Isran has a special arrangement with Maven Black-Briar. This allows him to station guards there as an added protection / early warning system against threats from Morrowind coming through Silgrad Pass (That's why there's a Riften banner on the tower). I'm sure she wouldn't mind free guards closer to Black-Briar Lodge either.
Requires my mod Fort Takeovers.

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.
