📋 About This Mod
This is a house mod based on imAarwyn's work – Deithwen - Witcher Inspired Home.
This is an SE port, the original LE mod could be found here.
Compatibility:
It is surely incompatible with mods adding buildings to the same location. In order to find the place go to Solitude, pass the market, go through the arch, turn to the right. The house is in the corner near the arch wall, opposite the cemetery.
Incompatible with the original (porting guide here).
Incompatible with Bells of Skyrim and Post Office, Holds The City Overhaul, Better Cities Solitude, Open Cities Skyrim.
JK's Skyrim (JK's Solitude) - compatible with a patch.
Legacy of the Dragonborn - compatible with a patch.
Features:
There are two children's rooms in the attic. There is also a cradle. It is obviosly static, but if you play with mods like Being Female, Fertility Mode, Diversifying Skyrim, etc., that could add to immersion.
In order to move in the house with the family, you will need to have Hearthfire multiple adoptions installed and active, moving in the house goes as usual. In case you don't know how, here is a small guide.
You'll need to cast 'Bless Home' spell inside the house and then ask your spouse to move in your new home. If you don't have a spouse and only have children, be careful and remember about a vanilla disappearing bug, so always keep a save before you ask a child to move.
Children and anybody else will sandbox around the house.
Following crafting stations are present: cooking pot, oven, alchemy station, enchanting table, forge, grindstone, workbench, tanning rack.
No smelter, no mannequins, no bookshelves (there are containers for books though).
Three display cases for favorite weapons are still there, in the basement.
A lot of custom containers for raw and cooked food, drinks, potions, rare and common alchemy ingredients (to separate ones that you need to save for quests for example), weapons, cloaks etc.
(There is a box for old shoes atop a huge dusty wardrobe, just so you understand the vibe here.)
Cosy static decorations everywhere.
If you'd like to take a bath or do some laundry, activate the bucket near the shelves with soap and towels. The room will change: the dirty clothes from the basket will appear on a clothes line, the former empty bathtub will be filled with steaming water and fenced off from the rest of the room with tapestries, and npcs will start to remove their clothes once they enter this area (and put them back on when they leave).
Inigo in his relaxing mode might become a bit confused, asking him to follow and go back to relaxing or changing his inventory would help.
Deithwen - Family Edition is a Special Edition port of imAarwyn's Witcher-inspired player home, located in Solitude near the cemetery. It adds two children's rooms in the attic and a static cradle, designed for family play with Hearthfire multiple adoptions. Requires compatibility patches for JK's Skyrim and Legacy of the Dragonborn, and is incompatible with several city overhaul mods.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid endorsement count (202) and over 7,800 downloads show it's a trusted home mod.
- Family-focused features like children's rooms and a cradle add real roleplay value for adopters.
- Clear compatibility notes and patches for popular mods like JK's Skyrim and Legacy of the Dragonborn.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018, so it may not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE updates or newer mods.
- Incompatible with several popular city overhauls (Open Cities, Better Cities) without patches, limiting your setup.
- The cradle is static, so it's purely cosmetic unless you use additional mods like Fertility Mode for immersion.
For Skyrim SE players who want a cozy, family-oriented home with a Witcher aesthetic and don't mind using Hearthfire multiple adoptions. It's perfect for roleplayers who enjoy building a family life in Solitude. Skip if you're using heavy city overhauls or want a home with dynamic features beyond static decorations.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Before installing, check if you use any of the incompatible mods (Bells of Skyrim, Open Cities, etc.) and grab the needed patches for JK's Skyrim or Legacy of the Dragonborn.
- To move in, cast the 'Bless Home' spell inside the house, then ask your spouse to move—if you only have children, save before asking them to avoid the vanilla disappearing bug.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle the patches and ensure correct load order, especially if you have multiple city mods.
