Project Populate Skyrim: Winterhold

Description
Skyrim is meant to be vast and scarcely populated, but I think I am with many who believe Skyrim is a little too vast and under-populated. A capital city with a population of forty? Really?
I am new to modding but love designing fantasy/medieval shizzle so I enjoy this.
Anyway this mod starts out in the most underloved, undernourished and underdeveloped location in Skyrim- Winterhold. I am (hopefully) prettying things up, increasing the size, and maybe adding some new items/quests along the way.
*FOR EVERYBODY WHO IS TELLING ME WINTERHOLD IS MEANT TO BE UNDERPOPULATED- I KNOW, I'M NOT ACTUALLY PUTTING MANY MORE PEOPLE IN IT
At the moment this mod mostly just changes the looks of Winterhold- but there is a Bookstore that took me a crap-tonne of effort to create cause I'm not good with anything technical, so thats something.
There is now an abondoned house near the bridge to the college- inside is a custom dagger (not custom graphics cause im still working on stuff like that) Let me know what you think of that.
Included-
3 NPC Houses
Abandoned house- something nasty inside
Changed Locations of Inn and Longhouse
Large farm near Whistling Mine- Whistlingtrench Farm
Market Square
Ruins
Bookstore
6 NPCs in Winterhold- Including a follower and two merchants.
4 NPCs in Whistlingtrench Farm
A Book (how exciting)
1 Random Weapon- Dagger
Plans-
Quests- If i ever said i was adding quests sorry but forget it... it is taking me enough to script the house purchase...
Player home- Temple-Snow House- I am having a hard time getting the purchase to work, forgive me.

Let me know how it is so far :)
* THERE IS A BUG WITH THE BOOKSTORE THAT MEANS NPCS CANT LEAVE- MAKE YOUR FOLLOWERS WAIT OUTSIDE FOR NOW *
* PLAYER HOME IS NOT AVAILABLE AS I AM NOT GOOD AT SCRIPTING*

This mod looks like it has great potential. I can imagine it would be amazing if there was an option of repopulating Winterhold back to becoming the capital city, if the player has sided with the Stormcloaks and thus depopulating Solitude and making that into more of a ghost town.

From the description, I can see that you have a little trouble with scripting. I suggest you try learning HTML and CSS. Those are languages for web development and they are mostly just scripting. Try using https://www.sololearn.com/ to learn them. There's a massive community there of coders at all levels. From novice to expert. It's always possible to get help there. As for using more of papyrus, the language for Skyrim modding, I suggest looking at this forum post. It might help you with scripting too:

I've added this mod to my favorites as I look forward to see what it can become

Cool, i wonder if you'll do the other cities too.

@dabombster™ I had been thinking of this for a while aswell- it was actually the first thing I ever attempted to do in the Creation Kit. If ever created the mod I don't think it would be a "Rebuild Winterhold/Become Jarl" mod as I have stated I have no experience scripting and no contacts. I thought of creating the mod a while back and call it "The Prime of Winterhold" where the whole town would be recreated into a thriving city possibly even larger than Solitude/Whiterun like the collapse never happened in the first place.

@♥PrincessLokem♥ I do not know if it will ever be "finished" as I have sort of slowed down on modding since I released this. My main ambition for this mod series was not to really touch on the major holds too much and create different diverse towns across the map.
