✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 537 endorsements and over 8,000 downloads.
- Saves you a trip to Whiterun or other cities when you need to smelt ore early on.
- Tiny mod that won't bloat your load order or cause performance hits.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2012 — may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods that alter Riverwood.
- Only adds a smelter; no other changes or enhancements to the blacksmith area.
For Skyrim players who hate trekking to a smelter every time they need to process ore, especially in the early game. If you're a smithing enthusiast who spends a lot of time in Riverwood, this is a must-have. Skip if you want more substantial overhauls or if you're playing with mods that heavily modify Riverwood.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place this mod in your load order after any mods that modify Riverwood to avoid conflicts.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement to keep your Data folder clean.
- Check if your Skyrim version is compatible, as the mod is from 2012 and may need a compatibility patch for Special Edition.
