📋 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.

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

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

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 ::
CL Orchish weapon replacer (Longhammer actually looks awesome)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,938 endorsements and over 53,000 downloads
- Vanilla-only requirement means it works for everyone without extra dependencies
- Elianora's reputation for quality housing mods adds confidence
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015, so it may not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition without patches
- 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
For Skyrim players who want a compact, lore-friendly home for their Stormcloak or warrior character, especially those who prefer vanilla-only mods. Skip if you need a large, feature-packed player home with lots of storage and displays.
💡 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.
