📋 About This Mod

     Aetherial Cottage is a cozy, enchanted home for mages. You will find it on a snowy mountain near Fellglow Keep. It has a beautiful view and provides plenty of seating to take in the sights. Many custom textures were made for this home, often by manipulating existing textures, so it should feel unique yet not out of place. Aetherial Cottage was made for my mage character (who you will find a small portrait of on one of the bookshelves). The home is thus strongly themed towards a magical character. It also does not contain any traces of shady activities like necromancy/thieves guild/dark brotherhood, but nothing is stopping you evildoers from having a second life here. Beds for kids or followers can be found in the optional downloads section.

In my screenshots and video I am using: Tetrachromatic ENB, Vivid Weathers, and Skyrim Mod Combiner textures

4 Mannequins Named Storage Beautiful Views Custom Music Displays for dragon priest masks, claws, and daedric artifacts Shield displays and weapon racks SO many bookshelves Many Custom Textures Optional Kid and Follower Beds Outhouse Stable that horse will wait at when you fast travel or go inside. All crafting stations except a smelter. Some are custom. Navmeshed Static Everything (so stuff won't fly everywhere) Cozy as Fuck

You need BOTH main files. I kept the .esp and resources separate to keep download sizes down for updates and patches. Put these in your Skyrim data folder. GG.

Please use a mod manager. There are a ton of custom resources, textures, and music tracks in this mod and it would be a huge pain to try to manually uninstall.

OPTIONAL FILES

There are two optional patches to change the portal room into a bedroom for either followers or children. You may only use one of these, and you still need the main .esp and resources.
