Enchanted Cities

• Created for Xbox and Playstation – No PC version is available
• The Help Menu will guide you on your journey through Enchanted Cities. You may consult it at any time. Alternatively, you may also craft the Guide Book at the Tanning Rack
• Blended vanilla options to feel like it’s the Skyrim you’ve always known, but enchanted in new ways to be delighted
• New ways to earn more gold – repeatable turn ins of every day items. This will help with the sometimes gold draught at lower levels without changing the higher levels and will help people who are on a no-thieving playthrough to avoid the temptation of snagging silver pots to sell
• Some cities have changes you can incorporate to allow for other mods or simply because you want the option. These changes will be accessed in unique places and features levers that are appropriately marked.
• Whiterun’s Gate will have a ladder next to it. Climb up and make your selections there
• Solvnir inside Riften will have a basement you can access; this will allow you to move street orphans to the orphanage
• Falkreath has a shed next to the House of Arkay
• Dawnstar’s settings are at the player home in the shed
• Only some cities have housing which are blended into the game: Riften, Solitude, Dawnstar, and Winterhold
• Citizen NPCs are on levelled lists so they update and change as you might see in real life with people who walk around, going to work or visiting shops
• Many memorial/gravestone/headstone markers can be read
• You’ll find a lot more insects buzzing about – but not so much to overwhelm you
• Lots of updated floral and trees
• Many adjustments to decorations and added ones. Some have been made into statics to avoid being knocked all over. Except the cabbages – you can eat those
• All new homes will have a “cloud storage” option by which the player can deposit items which are accessible at all their other homes making moving much easier and less time consuming. Titled “Moving Box” because it’s for moving. (Only available with the all in one)
• Many of the new shops offer new items for the player
• The shops added are ones that are missing from the usual marketplaces or simply offer different wares
• Items from the former DLCs (Hearthfire, Dragonborn, Dawnguard) can be seen in these inventories to make the world feel more streamlined and complete
• New foods I’ve added have buffs that last 30 to 60 minutes so the player doesn’t have to stop and eat every 5 minutes when Survival is enabled
• “New” flora are old flora changed and hand placed new ones
• Navmesh has been updated in many places for a smoother experience and because it has to be updated for any new teleports to doors added
• Some minor bug fixes were implemented because they haven’t been changed (ie Indara’s sandbox marker is underground, leaving her to stand in place after her daughter’s funeral. This sort of bug might cause people into thinking I broke the package or navmesh so it’s better I update it)
• NPCs are reused facegen to accomodate Playstation Users

Q: What is the difference between this and Divine Cities?
A: Divine Cities has a lot of custom meshes and EC has none. EC does not feature one or two player homes in each city, either, and the adoptable animals are on the Bethesda system rather than a custom system. Because this was created with Playstation users in mind, more creativity had to be included to make a few things work

Q: Is this compatible with…?
A: That’s a loaded question. It’d be impossible to know, however, you cannot use this with Divine Cities (this should be obvious) or other major city overhauls. You can, however, mix and match with other modular overhauls if you select the individual cities instead. You are free to ask for patches, however, I cannot guarantee a patch can be made. If a patch requires a VC mod, you’ll have to pay for me to have the VC as I have none downloaded at this time.

Q: How much more gold can I make with this mod?
A: The Windhelm Emporium turn-in quests are repeatable so basically as much gold as you want

Q: What is unique in this mod?
A: Plenty of unique food buff items, new enchantments, new follower pets and followers, so on and so forth.

Q: Because it’s for Playstation does that make it limited?
A: Not really. A lot of vanilla scripts that are in the game work perfectly fine, however, they are a bit limited in scope, such as being able to put Heimskr on a reduced schedule or moving the orphans. Doable, but it definitely took many, many hours perfecting it.

Q: What happens if I spot a bug?
A: First check the USSEP Bug Tracker! You can find just about every bug listed there that might be the same one you are experiencing.
If you are on PS and do not have access to the bug fix mod, then chances are it’s vanilla.
If you are on xbox and are not using USSEP, there’s your answer. The few bugs I did fix were ones I felt were integral to the mod. However, if you are sure it’s one I can fix, you can put in a bug report.

Q: May I ask for a feature?
A: I will not accept feature requests until the mod is six months old. And even then, I might not implement it

• Upgraded Port and added a few docks with humble boats for the denizens
• Added another lighthouse on the small island across from the mainland; it’s something I feel would be added so ships won’t hit it at night
• Covered porches at people’s homes and they get chimneys
• More wood chopping blocks
• Players can disable the town docks if they are using addons that might place their own docks in the same area
• Stonewalls for the former wall is placed around the parameter as noted in Lore books and the OG Dawnstar Game

• These homes are all hard locked with a key and contain no high value items except Edith: Edith’s home contains a few silver pieces here and there and might be a target of the Thieves Guild
• The miners work from 8 am until 8 pm and then stop at Windpeak Inn for a pint or two before going home to sleep.

• Hokar and his wife, Agneard are the local Fish Mongers.
  • Hokar is outside in front of his house every day from 8 am until 8 pm to sell you fish
• There are random miners who work the mines to give the understanding these are operations that require round the clock work without stressing out the locals. So they rotate.
• There are village huskies around the town and one is adoptable
• There’s a small quest about an ancient weapon lost in time and being held by an Ice Troll. If you can defeat the Troll and find the sword, you’ll also find a key to a local home by the last adventurer who didn’t make it. To note, none of the quests inside the CK would allow me to craft an adventure so instead I’ve left a lot of clues for the player and I’m hoping they can figure it out. If not, the Help Menu will guide them further
• Frosthearth Lodge is situated behind Silus’s house/Museum. It features a little shed next to it and inside that shed you can control the docks that are enabled outside
  • Frosthearth requires you to head to the Lighthouse and find out what Eloria was up to. You can do this at any level, the enemies level with you so bring some potions or even a follower to help out. Once inside you’ll find a Replica Starfrost Sword that levels at the blacksmith with your training.

• Svolnir and Sessalia’s house now owns the backyard of where Bolli’s house was and so the gates have been adjusted to reflect that.

  • They level up with the player
  • These two are quiet and shouldn’t set off traps or break stealth and have no problems if you’re gonna be a dirty thiefy or need to take out a target. They are given an ability to make sure their sneak value is at 40 which is the base needed for Muffled Movement and Light Foot which should ease the issue of setting off traps
• There’s a pretty kitty, Clove, to adopt – she’s over by the graveyard missing her previous caretaker

• The deed will turn into a proper key at the forge (the game won’t allow vendors to sell keys and there’s no native script for an actor to just give something over so this compensates for lack of outside assets with PS). The townhouse has general storage, food storage, weapon and armour storage and an alchemy lab with storage for ingredients and potions and comes with a player bed and follower bed. As a bonus, there’s a “workshop” upstairs that lets you make forge crafting items

• A beautiful fountain has been placed in the Wind District for the citizens to use and enjoy
• Skyforge has been revamped to include many static items to show off Eorlund’s skill. He also has a smelter as befitting his station
• Updated the front gate to have a “guard” zone which is a niche place for the player to climb up to. You can adjust the settings of Whiterun or even catch a quick nap
• Expanded the gateways from the Plains District to the Wind District
• The Hall of Dead was updated for the headstones to be moved to a proper graveyard section and each one has a nice headstone to read (remember when we did that in Oregon Trail?)
• True to the original idea for Whiterun, I’ve added some goats and a few chickens and an extra cow so the one there isn’t so lonely
• Put Heimskr into an Alias and allow people to determine if they want him to preach on the weekends or the whole week for 4 hours (2-6). Why? Because it gets really uncomfortable listening to him when you want to hear other dialogue sometimes.
• Extensive updates to layout and decorations for you to enjoy
• You will find daytime and evening bugs!

• There is more lighting on the stone walls so it’s easier to see at night or through snow
• Ingvald the Generous is wanting to help bring a trade boom to Windhelm, will you help? She runs the “Trader’s Emporium” where you can sell more items than usually offered by others.
• You can sell food: Tomatoes, Beef, Venison, Chicken, Juniper Berries and Snowberries; Ores for 2x the price of others and Miscellaneous items like baskets, buckets and more. She’s located near the dock gates where Sophie sells her flowers
• Bug Fix: Brunwulf had a bad package condition which leads Malthyr to talk to empty space. I’ve corrected the package in question but sometimes he still talks to himself. I suggest lettering the opening scene playout before heading to the Grey Quarter so Brunwulf is in position

• Much of Winterhold has been rebuilt
• A blacksmith has moved into Winterhold to help restore the economy
