Granite Hill - Three Farms and an Inn, just North of the Falkreath. A Market is Held here Weekly. -- Survey of the Holdings of Jarl GjalundGranite Hill is mentioned in a few places in lore and existed prior to the 4th Era. However nothing remained of it in Skyrim by 4E 201 except the dragon mound where Vuljotnaak was buried in ancient times. All well and good, but with no explanation for what may have happened to the place it felt like a good enough opportunity to tell my own version of events here. With this mod, the 3 farms and the inn are back, but instead of the weekly market, the town has a blacksmith. Of course, that would not be much of a fate, would it? Granite Hill's fate is sealed from the moment Alduin burned down Helgen. Surely the beast and his newly resurrected allies didn't stop there...Features:* A fully working town prior to Alduin's return. 3 farms, an inn, and a blacksmith. Plus town guard patrols from Falkreath Hold.* Upon Vuljotnaak's resurrection by Alduin, the village will be in flames. This will last as long as the dragon is alive.* Following the dragon's death, the fires will go out but the town now lies in ruins, swallowed by the World Eater.Skyrim Special Edition 1.5.73 or greater.DO NOT extract the contents of the BSA file into your Data folder as loose files, or let your mod manager perform an equivalent function on the contents of the file. Doing so will cause things to load in the wrong order and break the game. Skyrim is intended to load a BSA alongside it's ESM/ESP file. Circumventing this causes issues which I will not provide support for. If you insist on going against this advice, you will receive no support for the problems you generate as a result of this.Drop the archive into your Skyrim Special Edition Mods\Bash Installers folder, then install as usual.Make sure the mod is active in the Wrye Bash mods tab.Use the "Download with Manager" button on the page at Skyrim Nexus. The installer should take care of things from there.Then simply make sure it has the mod activated.Drop the .esp, .bsa and - Textures.bsa files into your Data folder.Activate the mod using whatever management tool suits you.Due to the nature of Skyrim mods, especially those adding scripts, it is strongly discouraged to attempt uninstalling a mod from your active game. Any mod that is more than pure mesh or texture replacements has the possibility to leave behind permanent changes to your save that you may not want. This is not something modders can correct for. It is how the game was designed by Bethesda. No support will be provided for anyone who uninstalls this mod from an active game and continues on with that save.To remove the mod: Delete the Fall of Granite Hill.esp, Fall of Granite Hill.bsa and Fall of Granite Hill - Textures.bsa from your Data folder. Then reload your game as usual. LOOT should be used for optimal placement.Will not be compatible with any other mods editing the area around the Granite Hill dragon mound.Events in the town rely on the status of the dragon mound at its center. These mounds are not always well behaved and it's possible that the town may never trigger the actively burning phase. Also keep in mind that if you install this at a point beyond which Vuljotnaak is already dead, all you'll see are the ruins.It may be possible to encounter leftover predators in the area that spawned before they were replaced with tame animals. Nothing can be done except to kill them.Hana - Destroyed versions of the smithy and Farmhouse04 meshes.This mod is not made, guaranteed, or supported by Zenimax, Bethesda Game Studios, or any of their affiliates.
