📋 About This Mod
NEW Version of STS by qlhaele. It's awesome! Just Re-Released, Sleeping Tree Sanctuary BN9d-5PJJA0
From eldiabs: No longer supporting this mod. Have fun doing whatever, re-upload, blah blah blarg. Good luck trying to fix. She's one of the oldest 'over-rated' house mods out there, and a lot of people have added to it. Much has changed since the creation kit first came out. Recommend starting with the oldest of the old if you're going to make any attempt. Probably better just starting over from scratch with your own awesome idea, but do what you wish with this one.

Thanks again for all of the support and endorsements everyone. This mod took 3rd place in files of the month for March, which is WAY more than I would have expected of a player home with all of the great stuff coming out almost daily. - ElDiabs

I don't normally ask for my files to be endorsed, but if you enjoyed this, take a moment to click the thumbs up button in your download history. In fact, how about endorsing every file you have used and enjoyed on the Nexus??
It's actually easier then installing the mod itself. However, the choice is yours. Have fun!
Remember to back up your saves, just in case. There have been reports of the dragon priest masks and some chests resetting and users losing their loot in the newest updates. It is recommended you remove everything from the forge area chests as well as the dragon priest masks when updating. If you did not read this warning, placed here and in the known issues section, bummers!
Game crashes on startup are due to not having the esm (which is the master file for this mod) enabled with the esp file. Also, this mod may conflict with other player homes, although I've tested it with my other three homes and it works fine. It's as 'clean' as
