Idyllic Ivarstead
Ivarstede used to be a pretty sizable town before people started leaving to live in Riften.
It is now frequently frequented by travelers and is more often than not a resting place for those on their way to Riften or those who climb the 7000 steps.
I've been adding more flora to the area and town as there are fewer people living there and it should start to overgrow a bit.
Players can sleep there if they don't have the coins for the hotel. There's also a small spot to chop wood, improving your arms and armor.
I also added more cut stumps because it does have a mill and it only makes sense to see more cut stumps. Additionally, more rocks and fallen tree logs were added to give it a more wild look.
Some of the stuff I added is also where you can find it. There are many to find, some can be seen in the image tags (there are about 6 places to sit). Sit on a log and watch the sunset.
Another addition is a small bridge leading to the house where Narfi runs.
There is an abandoned house on the island that has fallen into destruction, be careful not to venture too close...
I've tested it a lot - it's compatible with any tree model. If you are using it for a 3D landscape of trees/plants, then there is a tree in front of the windmill that you can disable (that's what I did).
Let me know if you run into any issues and of course have fun!
If you like it, please remember to like it! It took me a lot of time, so I'm grateful!

Idyllic Ivarstead
Ivarstead used to be a good sized town before people started to leave to live in Riften.
It is now frequented by travelers and is more of a rest stop on the way to Riften or for those climbing the 7,000 steps.
I've added in more flora around the area and in the town since less people are living there it should be starting to be a little bit over-grown.
A little campsite has been added the player may sleep there if they do not have the coin for the inn. There is also a little spot to chop firewood and improve your arms and armor.
I've also added more cut stumps since it does have a mill and would only make sense to see more cut stumps. Also more rocks and fallen tree logs have been added for ambiance and to make it seem a little more untamed.
Also a little something that I have added is places you can find to sit. There are quite a few to find, some can be seen in the images tab(there are around 6 places to find for sitting). Sit on a log and enjoy the sunset.
Another addition is a little bridge to Narfi's run down house.
On the little island there is an abandoned house that has fallen into ruin, be careful not to venture too close...
I've tested this quite a bit - it's compatible with any tree mod. If you're using 3D Landscapes with it's trees/plants there is 1 tree in front of the windmill that you can just disable (which is what I do).
Let me know if you run into any problems and of course have fun!
If you like it please remember to endorse! I put a lot of time into this so I would appreciate it!
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.
