📋 About This Mod

The House That Grew a Dungeon - A collaborative house mod with a hidden twist

This is as much a mod as it is a resource for fellow modders.

In its current state, it's a unique house mod featuring a seamlessly integrated dungeon, built within the same cell as the house interior, allowing for a smooth transition between the cozy basement and the cave below.

Background

This mod was born from a live tutorial project hosted by Danae on the Morrowind Modding Discord. The idea was simple and fun: each modder would expand on what the previous one had done, creating both an educational stream and a playable mod.

  • []Exterior: by MassiveJuice

    []Interior (House): by me

    []Dungeon: by Seelof

    []New assets: by Vegetto

    []Original concept & tutorial coordination: Danae

Danae was planning to add quests, but, as many modders know, writing and implementing quests takes a lot of time, and it wasn’t possible to complete them within the livestream window. Eventually, the project lost momentum.

Later on, I asked permission to reuse what had been done, and together with Vegetto, we even planned a full quest with dialogue already written. Unfortunately, neither of us particularly enjoys working with the Construction Set dialogue system, and the quest was never implemented.

What You Get

  • []A unique player house, with a cozy atmosphere and thoughtful layout

    []A small dungeon, seamlessly connected to the basement with no loading doors

    []A ready-to-use base for further modding: add your own story, quests, or secrets

Location

As I’ve said with other house mods I’ve released: Vvardenfell is already too crowded these days. The house is located on the Tamriel Rebuilt mainland, in the Dagon Urul Region, in the proximity of Yaztaramz.

Final Notes

This project was fun to make, and while it was never fully finished, I think what’s here is still worth sharing — whether you want to just enjoy a unique house, or build something of your own on top of it.
