Whiterun - Bigger and Bolder

Proudly presenting the first expansion in my Bigger and Bolder project - Whiterun, the very heart of civilization in Skyrim and trade capital of the entire province. I decided to put together this series because I wasn't satisfied with other town expansion mods I've seen out there, for a number of reasons. This expansion is lore-friendly, uses only architecture unique to Whiterun itself, takes care not to have clipping issues with added objects, and aims to make the town as grand and full as it can be without taking away the core feel or completely changing the layout of the original city. It features:

- A larger and grander main gate with scaffolding and banners;

- A new section of stone wall bordering the path leading up to the front gate;

- A large wooden roof over the guard house near the main gate;

- Two new merchant stalls on the main road of the Plains District: a book merchant (Amalani) and a fish merchant (Sindri Frost-Fingers);

- Three extra houses in the Plains District, with hand-furnished interiors and unique inhabitants (Arus Cornelia, Alma Hawk-Eyes, Arlenya) who don't say much but will get out and hang around the marketplace during the day, to add to the atmosphere of the city - each has a simple backstory which is sometimes hinted at by things found lying around their homes, to deepen their connection to the world of Skyrim;

- A taller guard house behind the inn with an added wooden roof;

- Wooden roof sections over the gates connecting the Plains and Wind Districts;

- A tanning rack and armor workbench near the Skyforge which will NOT interfere with a certain scene during the Companions questline;

- Several structures leading up to the main gate from outside the city, including walls, guard towers, the drawbridge and stable house, are now visible from INSIDE the city.

A good deal of time and thought has gone into the Bigger and Bolder project, and it's my sincere hope that this mod helps enhance the experience of all who opt to use it, and draws them deeper into the magnificent world of Skyrim. Be sure to check out my other mods in the Bigger and Bolder series here on the Steam Workshop as well.

Update 1.0 - Changed Alma's House to make it a bit nicer and fit better with its surroundings, changed her default outfit to Hide Armor, took away her A.I. package to sandbox in the marketplace since she would get stuck standing in front of Fralia's jewelry stall and never move or go home again. Now she just sits at home being a recluse but at least she doesn't stand in the marketplace doing nothing 24 hours a day, every day for the rest of her life. :)

Update 2.0 - Packed FaceGen Data in archive with upload, hopefully this fixes the dark face bug on all added NPCs.
