I prefer more subtle city mods, I use for example Beautiful Rifton and Beautiful Whiterun. They do not change the basic scheme of the various landscape regions. Whiterun and Rorikstatt are in a somewhat desolate, empty tundra, and it makes no sense to make it look like the forests of Falkreath, or Rifton.
To make regions look similiar just reduces the variety of schemes and moods of the various landscapes, me thinks.
Anyhow, I'm currently a freelance adventurer. Lot of hunting tours, with survival camps in the tundra. Me, two girls, and a dog.
That's me.
And my preferred company.
Dwarven and Elven weapons, no magic and no enchanting. Frostfall&Hypothermia mod. The latter is highly recommended, I wonder why Bethesda has not included something like that from all beginning on.
