📋 About This Mod
Purpose:
The vanilla "Treasury House" in Markarth is a joke. There is one expert-locked chest filled with some generic loot and some silver bars laying around. This mod changes that.
The locked gate now requires a key. Behind the gate you will now find enough valuable loot.
There is an unmarked lore-friendly quest to help you find the key to the gate. I’ve beta-tested this with a few friends, and most of them figured it out on their own. Behind the gate you will find a lot of gold and great loot, so you'll need to use your wisdom to figure out who has the key to it.
How to use:
Put .esp file in data folder. Run with Nexus Mod Manager.
Notes:
This mod is for Skyrim Special Edition only. Requires the Dragonborn DLC.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,210 endorsements and 35,005 downloads.
- Fixes a widely criticized vanilla location that many players find underwhelming.
- Lightweight and simple—no complex scripts or dependencies to worry about.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or mods.
- Only affects one location, so its impact is limited if you're looking for broader treasure overhauls.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter the Treasury House or Markarth interiors.
For Skyrim players who hate that the Treasury House is a letdown and want a quick, focused fix. If you're a completionist who explores every location, this makes Markarth's treasury worth the trip. Skip if you want a comprehensive treasure overhaul—this only touches one building.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—no extra setup needed.
- Load order shouldn't matter much, but placing it after other Markarth overhaul mods can prevent conflicts.
- Check the mod page for any compatibility notes if you use other location overhauls.
