📋 About This Mod

Unique Shops and Stores

----Compatible with 99. 9% of the mods on the Nexus including Immersive Citizens, EVERY lighting mod, EVERY quest mod, etc.

----This mod is a lore friendly project to decorate most of the shops and stores in Skyrim.

----Nothing cant be stolen, bumped, shouted off the shelves, etc.   Everything I have added is STATIC.  Performance friendly.

----My main goal with this mod is to have interiors that fit each NPC that ran the shop.  For example,   it needed to fit the lore, the dialogue and their personalities.  I also needed the mod to be compatible with 99% of the mods on the Nexus, all this without needing an additional esp/patch.

----Additionally I took extra steps to ensure it is 100% compatible with the amazing Immersive Citizens-AI Overhaul by Shurah   That mod author sent me instructions on how to ensure the two were compatible out of the box.

Here are some things people have said about this mod"WHOA!"-EmeraldShadow

"You had me at compatible with Immersive Citizen"-kylediaz263

"Thank you for an awesome Mod"-Kiwihine

"First, some flattery: This is probably my favorite Interiors mod for Skyrim. You've managed to make every place look interesting and full of character, but still believable - not an item looks too outlandish or out of place, and each interior actually looks like a well worn-in place of business. Equally important, it's 100% hassle free due to the lack of edits to lighting or navmesh. You really should make more interior mods if you have the time!"-CEMN

"Thank you so much for this absolutely wonderful mod. It's really well done.  So much attention to detail. Love it!"-StrawDoll
