📋 About This Mod
I am proud to present you with Friendlier Taverns
This mod is no longer updated!
As the name suggests this mod enhances the inside appearance of every Inn around Skyrim while staying true to lore and the original layout.
In the vanilla game most Inns were an exact copy of the same space down to every bottle placed and piece of salmon or cheese, all in the same spot in every Tavern; not only that but every Inn with a few exceptions had the same tables facing the walls with every patron showing you their backside, no more of that!
Friendlier Taverns treats each Inn individually with differing types of furniture used and items placed on the tables; all sitting positions now face into the room so you can see peoples faces or sit opposite a follower.
If you enjoy this mod please take a moment to endorse it, Thank you!
Requires Hearthfires and Dragonborn DLC!

Most Inns now have an Oven to produce their fresh bread that some talk about, like for example Candleheart hall in Windhelm where I actually discovered a hidden room that was perfect to house a bakery. There is a barrel with all the basic
