Our cities may look different to yours and that's because of the Noble Skyrim retexture:

I love how most the cities in Skyrim have twice as many guards as civilians
Brennan Probst And yet these guards don't even have enough space in the barracks
It's war, normaly those guards are civilians, but in the age of sword and axe they must fight.
ZEDFRA lmao
Well, how else are the jarls supposed to enforce Skyrim's tradition of no lollygaggin' ?
Merica
wow i never noticed that those towers are missing
honestly i wont be sad without them .-.
Mods like this always seems amazing until you realize they cut your framerate in half.
lower your enb settings
Yep, ETAC gave me a fps cut of at least a half in some cities, and stutters af.
try turning down 4wat, it worked for me
Didn't do that to me...
mods like this make my 6700k and 1080 look weak lol
Time to restart my Skyrim play through for the twentieth time because of a good mod.
I'll sub for that
+thecakeThief only 20th? :)
this mod needs an update where falkreath has more trees so it can still have it's forest-y look and we need a mod that completely expands the swamp area of skyrim where mortal is. I loved the swamp area but it was do disappointingly tiny and ruins the gloomy atmosphere.
*morthal
+Trex99ZD Yeah... Except when it should be freeze-anything-to-death cold... Let alone further north cities like Morthal, Solitude, Dawnstar, or Winterhold...
+ThePivoteer101 Just becouse it was like that in Arena, it doesn't mean it should be so in skyrim
But Bruma is freezing cold... Why not Falkreath haha
+Lawrence Tapia But that would be pretty unrealistic, isn't this mod going for a bit more realism? Falkreath is obviously a worked wooded area and should look like it.
We really needed this tbh, and after 3 years its finally here :)
Rebelsize! Hey I love your videos!!
+Rebelzize Good to see you man
Thanks for the kind words guys :)
You have no idea how much it means to me! Im coming back with amazing new stuff soon.
Is it compatible with Open Cities?
Is it on xb1
This is exactly the kind of thing I've been waiting for. Something to be to Skyrim what Better Cities was to Oblivion. Looks fantastic so far
MrFlashu2 even still, it was immensely worth it imo.
some of these building models just look way too boxy
Boxxy*
+fat Man *Queen
I believe that is on purpose. He wanted to make a tiny bit more like real medieval times will actual architecture than just pure fantasy built buildings. However, at the same time keep when makes each city different and unique in that classic Elder Scrolls style.
+Stan_The_Man "on purpose" fucking half of the cunts now cant make brick that fucking straight, let alone some cunts in a straw hut with hammers
+volthunter3 IF you're talking about skyrim then you should know the whole empire wouldn't exist without them.
The only thing that puts me off with the newly made buildings is that they either look fake from a distance or the sparkling on the buildings make me think they're made of chainmail..
Have to agree.
It looks interesting and maybe like a good alternative to ETaC possibly with less compatibility patches needed for various other mods...
Though some of the towns in the video look kinda out of place :/
Maybe it's just because of ENB and other graphic mods they used? Don't know.
+Articounias Yeah, but you must remember this is an early version, give it a while and i'm sure the models will improve.
Whoever said that these houses look to blocky....
You haven't seen houses in Morrowind.
+UnknownSquid Yeah, they're blocky, aren't they. Bootyful though.
Fargoth's beautiful minecraft 4x4 cobblestone house with one window and one door.

has potential to be best mod ever for skyrim
+Black Petunia the best mod is Thomas the train obviously
+RENEGADE FROM 2070 Thomas The Dank Engine.
+RENEGADE FROM 2070 Duh, of course it is.
+Black Petunia Basically this mod with the last update that comes witch will be the final version and The people of skyrim - ultimate with it's final version as well and the two modders make a compatibility patch for each other, you will get the completely new Skyrim that no one has played. Just imagine it with a lot of graphical mods, quest mods, animation mods, skill mods, weapons and armor mods and finally magic, immersion and mods that improve everything you like. It's just the perfect Skyrim, pretty much an entirely new game to play. Call it the Witcher Skyrim Edition. *Just a note if you want to do this you need a really good PC memory wise and an SSD for Skyrim that's a must, plus the game needs to be optimized for stability and all the other steps for proper installation of the mods and their cleaning if it's needed* :D
+Anime Gamer420 Don't forget the lovers labs mods!
i always expected skyrims cities to look like this and when i got the game i was disappointed at how small and empty they were, i will definitely get this when i decide to get back into the game
I think one of the best Skyrim mods this year so far.
Play video on 0.5 speed if you think Brodual speaks too fast.
He sounds stoned as fuck on 0.5, but at least it's easy to follow hahha!
+Gref Klayn Sounds fun. ;)
+Gref Klayn made me lol
+Kaleb Roadruck I usually speed the videos up tbh lol
lol, you're right about how he sounds on 0.5
Hillarious
No he doesn't . You must just be slow
Dawnstar is extremely blocky
I thought I was playing minecraft
The thumbnail looked like Minecraft at first
Time for another playthrough.
Winterhold has a really gorgeous daggerfall feel.
Can we just appreciate how despite being over 5 years, Brodual still keeps the slowly-dying skyrim community alive with their mod videos, Thumbs up for these guys
+dean gracious I wouldn't worry about the community "dying". It'll just seem that way because we are so used to having by far the most active modding community in gaming. I can sure you that 5 or 6 years from now there will still be die hard modders tinkering around with the game. Think of it this way, the Mass Effect modding community is still going pretty strong in 2016 and that series isn't even suppose to have mod support.
Hell, Morrowind is still being modded and worked on by several fans to this day, and that games been out for almost 15 years.
We aren’t exactly “slowly dying” mate
Wow this is actually pretty huge. Id probably have to uninstall all my other city overhauls for this
Anyone else find "Brodual the Reviwer" easter egg in this mod (modular version) in Falkreath? I thought it was pretty cool and I hope that Brodual found it too while they were reviewing this.
And one more time, the modders do the work of Bethesda.
+Gengi bre Vanilla Skyrim is pretty bland, i'll give you that. But to be fair, even if Bethesda had made their game like this from the beginning, modders would've found a way to make it better in some shape or form - they usually do.....Except with The Witcher. Now that I think about it, if games had that same standard of quality there wouldn't be a need for mods. Moot point.
Yes but the vanilla game was very simple, more simple than Oblivion or Morrowind, the modders fix the loss pasion of Bethesda.
Gengi bre Ah, now I see what you were getting at. Good point, in a sense its kind of the same for Fallout 4 considering all of the features that were removed that 3 had. I can compare with that more because I didn't really play Oblivion or Morrowind. I'll go back and play them sometime since you've piqued my interest.
airraverstaz betheda seem to be getting lazier and lazier. Surr modders will find a way to always improve on the base game but the vanilla game didnt really set a high bar in terms of quality.
And then Bethesda pay modders barely anything to make mods for the creation club and they get tons of money
What about morthal?
0:40
Who likes Morthal
+Puff I thought that was riverwood lawl
+Usmcftw355 Yeah who likes morthal. Switch thal to the beginning and mor to the end.
It's thalmor.
+Arnold Kluge (Warbrother10) Or switch Morthal to UglyShitHoleNoOneLikes
Just wanted to say thanks for your work during all this time. Your reviews helped me with many decision about my current mods setup and inspired me so much. Keep doing the great spotlights!
Woah Sinitar, it's been 3 years and nobody has replied to your comment... Hey! It's the real Sinitar!
This mod will definitely make its way into my load order for a future playthrough. Looks amazing, and can't wait to see the improvements/additions the mod author makes to this :D
This is too much information I can HOLD on to!
My only complaint is how square and... amateur the new buildings look, Dawnstar really sticking out for me.
Perhaps they'll be made to fit more with Skyrim in the future, who knows. Either way, it's a fantastic looking mod. Will download now
I think it gives the cities a more realistic feel. Dawnstar's new towers look very similar to medieval Eastern European castles. The mod definitely gives each city a unique feel and I think the designs are fairly good. I do see your point because they don't really fit into Skyrim all that well.
+Cheerful Pessimist Yeah, I would imagine Dawnstar and Winterhold's buildings look like how a new building in 1300's Europe would look like. I just feel it would be better if they were more rugged and less boxy, so they fit Skyrim's atmosphere better.
And the cities do all feel unique now. I don't look at Dawnstar and think Winterhold anymore.
WorcestershireySauce I think the easiest fix is to distress the textures, make them look more weathered so they don't look so clean. That way it gives the impression of age.
Cheerful Pessimist That would work probably. My beef is the models themselves being super square and perfect. I'd be willing to edit them if I could, but I'm no good at modelling.
+WorcestershireySauce actually its fine.the texture was really on point and nailed with the vanilla vibe.ratter than the low textured plastic furniture like some other mods
I have been waiting for something like this for a looooooong time!
Please don't stop making Skyrim Mod videos. The only videos I look forward too
I downloaded this a while ago and really liked what I saw. The amount of thought put into the layouts and new areas was fantastic. Even if some of the new buildings look a little boxy (especially in Winterhold), at least those cities actually feel like they have a more unique identity. Falkreath is especially fantastic, and the new Longhouses put even Dragonsreach to shame. And the new weapons and items added feel like icing on the cake.
However, considering that the mod author stated that he wanted to release some patches to make this compatible with EtaC and JK, I'll probably wait until then to do a playthrough with this. Playing without those two and Stryker's patch for them leaves some of the other towns and settlements feeling sparse, and I don't want to spend an hour manually disabling all the conflicting objects and buildings. I'm not willing to trade in my giant, bustling Rorikstead for just two or three new buildings in it just yet.
I think it would be cool if you could build your own city (or hijack an existing one) using every person that currently follows you and subsequently they all live in that city with their own routines.
Try tundra defence you can build a city in that but it does take some getting used too
I'm a big fan of this mod. It adds so much detail with a very small to no impact on performance as almost all new areas have their own worldspace. Very well done.
You guys always make fantastic videos. Thank you, I'll definitely check this out and probably install it!
the fighting pit isnt new, its a vanilla cell
+Chris Drew it is never seen it before after 500 hours.
+marco streng it was cut from game
+Chris Drew The mod Faction: Pit Fighter uses it. It's only available via Steam I think, but I recommend it along with its Travel Add-On :)
Pretendeavor still vanilla though
Chris Drew
Yea but unused sadly :(
The cities remind me of Oblivion for some reason (or Cyrodiil if you want to get that specific).
The cities remind me of "hell" for some reason

definitly gonna get this for next play through
One of my favourite city mods!
I'm tempted to download this, but my GPU is a potato.

My poor laptop...I really need to get a gaming PC soon
+Drious TB well you need 512 for this
+Leorlev Cleric Really study up for it. you shouldn't need more than $500 for a decent rig, unless you want top of the line, in that case 700-900. Any more would be over kill especially for skyrim.
+Triskelion Chi $500 is a little low even when you don't take into account $200+ in peripherals and OS. For a LoL/Minecraft/CS:GO/Skyrim machine it'd definitely more than suffice, but if you're looking to play current games for the next few years on higher settings, $600-$800 is probably what you're going to need to cough up. Keep in mind a good 4gig graphics cards can set you back $300-$400 alone and games are more than likely going to start looking for 8 gigs of VRAM pretty soon.
I like the look of the mod. Not every thing but some of the buildings I noticed were very boxy and plain. I wish it didn't stand out so much.
+MyNameHere Its more noticeable from a distance but I do see what your saying
This looks like it's almost exactly what I needed, since every Skyrim playthrough was starting to feel the same, due to a lack of new things to explore.
The windhelm fighting pit has always been there but only accessible via console commands as it didn't make the cut in the final version of Skyrim. I personally loved the idea though so I'm glad that this mod includes it!
wow falkreath and dawnstar look like a random daggerfall city ported to skyrim lol
Exactly what I thought
Gods above, Dawnstar looks bleak.
This will make venturing Skyrim fun and enjoyable again.
Hey man, long time watcher, but I never usually comment on TH-cam videos. I just wanna say the quality of your videos are just amazing. Keep up the good work.
Who knows the name of the mos changing the texture of the soil and rocks of this video?
Will this hit the performance heavily?
the fact that it let's you pick and choose which city replacers to use is what makes this the best city mod out there
fucking awesome piece of work by a really friendly and charming bloke
I like the idea, but except for Solitude and Whiterun, the cities look way to late-medieval, they loose their barbaric, nordic feeling. They would rather fit into The Witcher, not Skyrim.
Falkreath too, tbh
The others are alright though
Well, there is plate armour and a lot of other late medieval things in the game, so why is this not a good setting?
All comes down the personal preference, and like they said you can choose which cities that will be edited in the install menu.
"all comes down to personal preference"; "all comes down to personal preference"; "all comes down to personal preference"; "all comes down to personal preference"; "all comes down to personal preference"; "all comes down to personal preference"; "all comes down to personal preference"; "all comes down to personal preference"; "all comes down to personal preference"; "all comes down to personal preference"; "all comes down to personal preference"; "all comes down to personal preference"; "all comes down to personal preference"; "all comes down to personal preference"; "all comes down to personal preference"; "all comes down to personal preference"; "all comes down to personal preference"; "all comes down to personal preference"; "all comes down to personal preference"; lol
It straight out goes against lore and canon, so no, it doesn't come down to taste or preference, it comes down to rather you like TES or not, if you endorse these changes you don't like TES but something else and just play Skyrim for sandboxing. Probably what the Author of this mod does.
In the end, the choice as to what mods you use or don't, well, these come down to preference, but it's a completely different thing. Entirely, really...
One thing is liking a mod, another is debating the world setting, so basically you've talked sh*t, don't do that again, "CRIMINAL SCUM!"
I saw someone saying: ' potential to be the best skyrim mod ever ' totally agree! well done!
I just recently started using this mod and I freaking love it! ♥
Awesome video! Love the channel.
wonder how good your pc needs to be for this mod ._.
+zheodegeso Actually, not as great as I thought. I used ETaC (Expanded Towns and Cities), and it lagged me endlessly. I installed this, and I actually have an improvement on my frame rate. This is mostly because many of the areas that've been improved upon have been put in their own separate loading zones.
I used to get huge lag spikes around Dawnstar, vanilla and modded. With this, it runs smooth as butter. I don't know how they pulled it off. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite mods of all time. :) Give it a shot!
+Fairawen Plays also ETAC adds pointless clutter or adds items very inefficiently (seriously TLC sometime and see the bits that are underground in some areas)
Looks fantastic but I fear my computer will start to smoke...
This looks Amazing.
Wow. Looks amazing. I will try it.
I wonder how this mod interacts with open cities
In oldrim there is a patch that gets them to work together, but I am pretty sure that there is not one for SE.
Where da love for Markarth?
+Gollum TheWorldEater For real. One of my favorite cities
I hate markarth with a passion, I don't know it just always seemed like the Middle East a kind of "stay out" zone with all the corruption and forsworn running around
King Curt I just like the architecture bruh
Biggest dream: This finishes before/at the same time as Beyond Skyrim.
Adventure in a brand new game, essentially!
I'm willing to get rid of all of my other location mods if it means making this one work. This looks amazing.
The roof snow textures look God awful.
I have uninstalled every other mod I've had, I've installed CTP, I've changed every possible way to approach any city...
and my game just crashes everytime I go near any hold (except for whiterun) I need hellp

Are you using sheson's memory patch? Recent skse builds have this included
I have the most recent skse so it should be there
+FRΛVL so you're running a vanilla copy of the game with nothing but skse and holds city overhaul?
+Michael Soper yeah, I literally have no clue what the problem could be :(
+FRΛVL I'm thinking it may just be your system, 8gb of ram is well and truly fine for vanilla but with this being one of the largest building mods in existence and the limitations of Skyrim's engine you may be reaching your limit of ram usage. Does the game work fine without the holds installed?
Skyrim mods just gets better
This looks amazing. It honestly makes me question what Bethesda was doing with all it's time.
can i download it but not all of them?
Radya Ichwandiputra Yep. It's modular.
+George stamatakis ok
Those buildings look waaaay too clean. They look like they are made with Legos.
That would be the textures he is using, the vanilla game looks much better

Open cities is a pointless mod, I would definitely take any of these over that useless fps sponge.
@@fartchamber12 Its no fps sponge on SE my friend.
Skyrim fps overhaul
I need a mod that removes the Winterhold ruins and any mention of them currently existing; the Great Collapse was a long time ago. Rebuild already!
good video
for what is essentially
an ad for free content
For 4 gigs of data, this would have to be perfect and it's far from it. Some of the buildings just look way too boxy and fake. The author wanted to make something like Better Cities for Oblivion but this doesn't even hold a candle to that mod. It doesn't add anywhere near as much as that mod did (so far) and what it does add it's either bland or not particularly eye catching at all.
i would not recommend this mod because it messes up way too many quests.
Seriously these videos i love them. Lovely voice nice videos awesome music it makes me feel so coosy xD
Guy at 0:26 walks halfway up the stairs and then back down xD. Right when he says "make them look like actual living and breathing cities."
The Elder Scrolls is my favorite series, but cities and other settlements have been the most disappointing part in the last 3 installments, especially Skyrim and Oblivion.
Mhm Daggerfall settlements were so aesthetic /s
@@homoxid3406 I judge each game within the context of the time when it was released. I think Daggerfall cities were great for the time.
Personally, I look at this mod and it looks pretty bad. The new models look so boxy I seriously thought your game hadn't rendered any textures yet, it looks like something from more than 10 years ago. Also, some cities like Falkreath look way to cramped, I like vanilla Falkreath because how it sort of "gets along with the forest", gives it a creepy feeling in a way.
Awesome review! Thanks!
this mod really improves the look of the game. and you're right. Riften is fun for role playing as as thief.
Eh, I'll stick with The Great Cities of Skyrim
Same lmao.
Great Mod , but the cities look a big ugly and bland now and WHITERUN HAS NO FORESTS
Jordan Sipe why does everyone think white run is a forest? At what time has any lore or person in game said white run hold is a forest? I am actually curious why so many people seem to think this
Its looks cool but seriously it all seems very packed
Thanks for reviewing this! I was interested in seeing what it looked like before downloading the HUGE file LOL
I. Love. This. Mod.
I've been using it since it came out, and I couldn't be happier. I used to use ETaC, but I've actually had increased performance and FPS since switching over. It has minimal mod compatibility issues, considering all the changes.
My favorite, oddly, is Winterhold. I haven't found a single mod that made Winterhold feel like it used to be the capital. This does. The buildings in the town also match the college a bit more closely, and it feels like it all used to be part of an ancient and grand city.
Damn. Love this mod. Thanks, Brodual, for doing a spotlight!
Can't wait to download
Now this is the BEST Skyrim mod for me
With Perfect Legionnaires
thanks for the quality video
the mod is so beautiful
Dawnstar's courtyard of the Jarl Palace looks like the courtyard from Castle Black.
This mod is easily in my top 5
cant decide to either use this or the expanded towns and cities
this mod is so cool! I have to check this out!
THIS IS AMAZING
The modding community for this game is fucking insane... still coming up with stuff like this after 5(?) years!
That's why I love Skyrim.
