📋 About This Mod

THANKS to all who have provided feedback, endorsed, kudo'd, screenshoted and put the hideout as a File of the Month in May 2012.

A small, detailed, atmospheric hideout off the beaten path between Riverwood and Whiterun. If you don't mind getting your boots wet, the sound of waterfalls, and prefer a darker hidden place to kick up your feet and drop off your loot...this may be the home for you.

Should be lore friendly, ready for companions, full crafting and storage.

  • []If anyone is familiar with my other mod Fallout 3 Mini Hideout. you may see some similarities, especially in style. []The hideout is very lighting specific so ENB mods or other lighting effects may make it too dark or flicker more.

Thanks to DARKFIREGAMING, GamerPoets, BringYourMods, Brodual, Bits & Bobs and Gamespot for creating or reviewing great videos of the hideout: qA1fmS3ngGY XpDtN7uwLuU
