📋 About This Mod
You know the story. You've been on the road since the sun was just starting to peer over the horizon, you're tired and thirsty but the nearest town is still many hours walk. If only there was a tavern next to the road where you could rest your weary feet and have a sup of mead...
Now there is!
Search no longer, weary traveller, this is the resting place you've been looking for. For now you will find small inns and taverns outside of the towns and villages, perfectly placed for when you need to get off the beaten path for a well-deserved rest, or when the hour is late and you are in need of a bed for the night.

Main version: Fix for window lighting
Modular: Added The Frosty Tankard
Modular: Updated the inns signs and window lights to match main mod
All inns are fully functional with a rentable room, map marker, and non-respawning chest for player use.
Unlike other innkeepers in Skyrim, the NPCs that come with this mod will wander the inn doing jobs and cooking food. They even sleep at night! Making them much more realistic. Innkeepers will sleep between the hours of 23:00 and 06:00, either in their own bed or on a bedroll behind the counter - if you arrive at the inn during this time simply wake them to rent the room, they will show you there and then return to sleeping.
Along with innkeepers, this mod also adds merchants, farmers, and other NPCs. They can be found at various locations in and around the new inns.
Due to the separate plugins for the modular version, it is not possible to have travelling merchants as there are in the main version. Instead, the modular version adds three more Khajiit merchants, in addition to the three existing ones, and all of them will stay put, available to trade inside or outside the inns where they reside.
Inns and Taverns adds various inns and taverns to Skyrim, expanding the game's locations. With over 4,200 endorsements and 74,000 downloads, it's a popular choice for players seeking more places to rest and roleplay. Last updated in 2017, it remains a stable addition for classic Skyrim setups.
