Hjaalmarch Redux
Download: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/30734
When I first read about Skyrim in the lore from previous elder scrolls games, I had a much different impression of what the land actually looked like when compared to Bethesda's vision which was released to us. This mod is a representation of the mental image I created when I first read about Skyrim. Currently, this mod only affects the Hjaalmarch region, but I have differing opinions on much of the Skyrim landscape, so you can expect changes in all (read: most) of the Holds.
Current Release : Version .3b
Release Changes
- Removes 99.9 percent of trees from the Hjaalmarch Swamp
- Identifies Stonehills as a village, not a mine, as dictated by previous maps of Skyrim

- Removes Trees from Morthal to better match the rest of the Hjaalmarch (Optional)
Future Releases

Compatibility
This mod is currently incompatible with anything that makes changes to the Hjaalmarch region. If a patch is requested for compatibility with a major mod I will do my best to provide that for you all.

FAQs
Q: Will you make this change for me?
A: I'm always willing to listen to new ideas, but unless its listed under the future release section, it probably won't be made by me.
Q: Is this compatible with "X" mod?
A: If it makes changes to the Hjaalmarch region, most likely not. If you think a patch will be worthwhile, mention it in the comments section and I will take a look.
Q: I like this change, but that change makes me cringe.
A: Thats really not a question, but I'll answer it anyway. The release of this mod is modular, meaning that you might be able to find a version of the mod with the changes you like without the changes you don't.
Addendum
If you enjoy this mod, think its a good idea, or even hate it; please leave a comment! Feedback is what tells me what I need to change and what I should keep. Endorsemants are, as always, most appreciated as well.
