📋 About This Mod

Are you a True Nord™ ? Do you worship Talos, proudly?

Are you a burly, seasoned warrior who likes killing things and drinking mead?

If the answer is yes, then I have a house for you!

Only vanilla Skyrim needed!

Stormcloaky cabin next to the Windhelm stables. Meant for a warrior character.

Built for my Stormcloak commander and "true Dragonborn of the North" type of char.

No mapmarker since you can just travel to Windhelm Stables.

Two versions available: Stormcloak and non-Stormcloak

House can be purchased by clicking the "For Sale" sign. It costs 7 500 septims.

Mod works as intended, so don't expect any updates.

I don't develop old mods any more.

:: REQUIREMENTS ::

Skyrim up to date

:: FEATURES ::

- Armour stands and wardrobe automagically change according to character's sex

- Lock the front door by clicking the house key in your inventory

- Unique clutter and furniture. Awesome warrior theme

- All smithing except woodchopping (one is behind Windhelm Stables)

- Unique display for Ysgramor's Shield and Axe and the Longhammer (an awesome unique warhammer)

- Bed gives well-rested bonus

- Basement has more storage and an alchemy lab

- A few mannequins and weapon displays

- Tons of unique custom named and organised storage

No enchanting. You're a warrior, not a mage. Geez.

:: KNOWN ISSUES AND INCOMPATIBILITIES ::

- The sauna benches must be close to the wall so the third person camera flips its shiz during the animation.

- Your house's front yard WILL be attacked during the civil war. This is not an issue, it's a feature.

:: RECOMMENDED MODS ::

  • Small cabin may lack the storage and crafting facilities that some players expect from a player home
  • No screenshots or detailed interior description provided, so you're going in blind

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a manual install, just drop the files into your Skyrim Data folder and activate the .esp in your mod manager or launcher.
  • If you're using Skyrim Special Edition, you may need to port the mod or look for an updated version, as this was made for the original Skyrim.
  • Fast travel to Windhelm stables to find the cabin; it's right next to the stables, so you can't miss it.
