📋 About This Mod
For Vampires and Dawnguard! Now featuring the auto sort system!
Content:
My reasons for making this mod: When I first played the Dawnguard DLC, I really looked forward to owning Castle Volkihar and thought that you would have the option to rebuild it and when Garan Marethi asked me about the passage to the courtyard I thought it was a dream come true! But 1 passage... Really?!? Its a Castle!!!! Well anyway I looked for mods that rebuilt the Castle. Some are great but well, not really immersive....(I'm a big fan of immersion) and made purely for Vampires..... So here is my own immersive and highly customizable Castle Volkihar.
Immersive? How?:
Lets just say the changes won't randomly appear. Harkon after all has absolutely no taste what-so-ever so I don't really expect him to suddenly go on a cleaning spree and repair and redecorate his (ex)castle. Neither do I expect the changes to appear as soon as I kill him... It takes a bit more time to repair a castle. Also it doesn't matter who you have joined, you have won the castle, so why leave all its potential aside? After you have rid the castle of a certain person you can now have the Castle as your own base and show your allegiance to the Companions, College of Winterhold, Dawnguard, Dark Brotherhood, Thieves guild, Empire, Stormcloaks....ect....
Updating to 1. 2:
Remove all of your items from the containers in the castle as the mod now features the auto sort system. Make a clean save and then update.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 3,477 endorsements and 64k downloads—clearly a lot of people dig it.
- Gives you two distinct playstyles: Vampire Lord or Vampire Slayer, so it fits different characters.
- Immersive approach to customization—not just tacked-on options but integrated into the game world.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in January 2014—might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or DLC.
- Requires Dawnguard DLC (implied by Castle Volkihar), but not explicitly stated—make sure you have it.
For Skyrim players who want to make Castle Volkihar their own, whether you're a vampire lord or a vampire hunter. If you're into role-playing and base customization, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're looking for new quests or combat changes—this is purely about the castle.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Dawnguard DLC installed, as Castle Volkihar is part of that expansion.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, install it through that to keep your load order clean.
- Since the mod is old, check the posts section for any compatibility patches or user fixes before adding other castle mods.
