📋 About This Mod
This mod makes the IC Waterfront Shack for Sale livable without going overboard. I've chosen a more spacious interior with a better layout and adorned it with middle-class furniture and decor. There are ten safe containers and one respawning trash bin. The old exterior has also been swapped for one that matches the new interior. It is located exactly where the old Shack for Sale would be. You still need to purchase the key as usual, but the interior comes fully furnished upon purchase, so no need to buy upgrades.
A map marker ("Waterfront Shantytown") has been added so you don't have to walk a mile from the IC Waterfront marker to the house. It drops you off right in front of the houses.
Fully pathgridded. The interior cell is a brand new cell. The original has been left alone to avoid any conflicts.
This mod was cleaned with TES4Edit.
Version 1. 6 has improved, more realistic lighting.
Waterfront Shack Overhaul upgrades the Imperial City Waterfront Shack for Sale in Oblivion with middle-class furniture, more space, storage, and improved layout and decor. A modest but well-received player home mod with 155 endorsements, last updated in January 2020.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 155 endorsements and over 2,000 downloads.
- Turns a basic shack into a more livable home without over-the-top luxury.
- Improves both interior and exterior, making it feel more polished.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020, so may have compatibility issues with newer mods or patches.
- Only affects the Waterfront Shack, so if you're not into that specific home, this mod is useless to you.
For Oblivion players who want a cozier, more functional player home in the Imperial City without moving to a new location. Skip if you prefer grand castles or mods that add entirely new homes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod in your Oblivion Data folder and activate it in the launcher's data files.
- If you have other mods that alter the Waterfront area, check for conflicts and load order.
- Visit the shack after installing to see the changes; you may need to wait a day for the cell to reset.
