Update - March 19, 2021 The modder has let us know a city bursting with cheese was the plan all along
What, really, makes something one of the best Skyrim mods around? Spectacular visual enhancements? Of course. Huge new quests packed with exciting stories and new NPCs? Sure. Combat overhauls that let you play it like Sekiro? Absolutely. Then there are those that are just really funny, such as new fan creation that turns Riften into a "city of cheese".
Skyrim fan WickWah posted a creation on Nexus Mods in late 2019 that turns the RPG game's commercial heart, Whiterun, into a "city of trees". It's a total retexture mod of the city that adorns it with a load of gorgeous foliage, including many towering new trees that give it a very different, very beautiful appearance. The modder jokes that they were aiming to do the same for the south-western city of Riften, too, but instead it's become a city defined by giant wheels of smiling dairy products - and it's quite something to behold.
The images show a gloriously overhauled Riften peppered with giant (seriously, huge) wheels of Eidar cheese amongst its buildings, on its rooftops, and - well - everywhere. And, they're all grinning away, too. Perhaps they're in on the joke.
