Rorikstead

Extension of the village of Rorikstead. New NPCs, buildings, guard patrols and more

"A small farm on the western plains. Grain, hides, horses." - Jarl Gjalund's holdings.

Rorikstead is a rural village at the north-western end of Whiterun Hold. It has a rich history, with an ancient book mentioning the property once owned by Jarl Gjaland, and a song about Ragnar the Red's death there. However, when you see this place in person, it's the sad shadow of all history.

This mod aims to achieve at least part of that by expanding villages and having more NPCs, houses they put in them, and extra farming for them. The town now also has a blacksmith who completes the picture.

*Added additional guard patrols and guard dogs to help fend off wildlife and other threats.

*Two new NPCs can be married if you help them grow crops, and you can live with them in their houses if you wish.

• Lokir's abandoned house is included and you can apply to become a new house if you wish.

*All added houses have Fallout quests enabled, so you can get Companions quests and any other quests that are properly configured to use NPC homes for quests.

*The blacksmith is allowed to invest in his shop with the appropriate speech perk.

*LOD has been generated for the area.

Installation requirements

Skyrim Special Edition 1.5.53 or higher.

Do not extract the contents of the BSA file into the Data folder as loose files, or have the mod manager perform an equivalent function on the file contents. Doing this will cause things to load in the wrong order and break the game. Skyrim is designed to load BSA as well as its ESM/ESP files. Bypassing this will cause issues that I won't provide support for. If you persist in opposing this suggestion, you will not be supported by the problems that will arise from it.

Installation - Wrye Bash BAIN

Drag and drop the archive into the Skyrim Special Editions Mods\Bash Installers folder and install as usual.

Make sure the mod is active in the Wrye Bash mods tab.

Installation - Mod Manager/Vortex

Use the "Download with Manager" button on the Skyrim page. The installer should take care of things from there.

Then just make sure NMM has the mod activated.

Installation manual

Place the Rorikstead.esp, Rorikstead.bsa and Rorikstead - Textures.bsa files into the Data folder.

Activate the mod using the management tool that works for you.

uninstall

Due to the nature of Skyrim mods, especially those that add scripts, it is strongly recommended not to attempt to uninstall mods from the active game. Any mod that is more than a pure mesh or texture replacement risks leaving permanent changes on your save that you may not want. This is not something modders can correct. This is how Bethesda designs its games. Support will not be provided for anyone who uninstalls this mod from the active game and continues on that save.

To remove the mod: Delete the Rorikstead.esp, Rorikstead.bsa and Rorikstead - Textures.bsa files from the Data folder. Then reload your game as usual.

Load order

LOOT should be used for optimal placement.

Must be loaded after Immersive Citizens to maintain navmesh integrity within the village.

compatibility

Tested and compatible with Bring Out Your Dead.

Other mods that modify Rorikstead without a patch will not be compatible.

give up

This mod is not provided, guaranteed or supported by Zenimax, Bethesda Game Studios or any of their affiliates.
