📋 About This Mod
Mod works as intended, so don't expect any updates.
I don't develop old mods any more.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED MOD: Musical Lore (Soundtrack Mod By Nir Shor) <- Changes MUSTestTown which is used in this house. You will get epic new background music
For NPCs (like spouses) to sandbox around the house properly, use this mod http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/57376
Mod adds a small apartment (copy of Elgrim's Elixirs) into the Riften Canals. Originally created for my thief character, if you don't mind the thief-ish atmosphere, anyone can use it. But there's a catch. The key is in a satchel on your night table in the Guild headquarters.
As of version 1. 5 the house also has a small nook for a vampire coffin. MY character went Vampire Lordy this week so she needed a place to boost her night monster powers >:) If you don't like the coffin, just keep the panel closed. If you want the coffin, leave the panel open.
