NOTICE:
This mod is not being developed any further for the foreseeable future and is a public "as-is" download. This is because I'm actively working on a better sanctuary overhaul. If you'd like to see how development is going you can find me on youtube for the occasional update video, or check out my FB posted screenshots.
2020 Edit: Patch collection for SSE: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/34909 There is no patch collection for LE that I know of.
The Dark Brotherhood quest is a pretty good one. But the end result is pretty underwhelming. You end up with a sanctuary that is filled with dust and fungus and doesn't have enough beds for everyone. It is an
unlivable living space, and this is after you poured all your money into fixing it up!
This is a mod that enhances the Dawnstar Sanctuary at the end of the DB questline with over 7,000 endorsments! I've gone though each section of the sanctuary and made the place have an air of realism; this is a sanctuary in a cold region (fireplaces and rugs) that a bunch of people are communally living in (they all have beds now). I've also added three new Dark Brotherhood NPC's (two of
which can be followers using VVE or RDO), more storage space, more crafting stations, and a working shrine to Sithis.

This mod overhauls the Dawnstar Sanctuary in Skyrim's Dark Brotherhood questline, transforming it from a cramped, dirty hideout into a proper base of operations with better storage and more beds. It's a quality-of-life improvement for players who want their assassin guild to feel like a real home.

📊 Pros & Cons

⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018—might have issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
