✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- ESL-flagged, so it's load-order friendly and won't eat your mod slots.
- Decent community traction with 93 endorsements and nearly 7k downloads.
- Gives you a choice: grind materials or just buy the upgrade if you've got the gold.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021, so it might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
- Only affects Hearthfire upgrades—if you're not into building homes, this mod does nothing for you.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter Hearthfire crafting or vendor lists, so test carefully.
For Skyrim players who love Hearthfire but hate the material grind—this lets you skip the busywork if you're rich. Also great for completionists who want every upgrade without the hassle. Skip if you never touch the homesteading content or prefer pure survival-style building.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's ESL-flagged, you can safely add it to your load order without worrying about the 255 mod limit.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and enable—no special setup needed.
- Check if you have other Hearthfire overhaul mods; if so, load BOB after them to ensure its recipes take priority.
