Environs - Abandoned Abodes

It always seemed a bit of a shame that certain houses in Skyrim are left abandoned and unused after their associated quests. This little immersion mod adds new NPC residents and small changes to each interior after their quests.

These NPCs are relatively inconsequential but should help Skyrim’s cities feel more dynamic and interesting. Most of them are just ambient NPCs, but one of them comes with a basic fetch quest and another will set up a shop in Morthal. Each NPC has carefully spliced voice lines, and they can be found around town working, and visiting shops, temples, and taverns, etc. When they arrive, the clutter and furniture in each interior will change to reflect the new ownership. The name of each house will also change. This mod affects 7 interior locations and adds 14 new NPCs in total.

Changes will not take place immediately. It will take at least 15 days to pass before a location is changed after its associated quest. This is intended to make the changes feel more gradual and organic, rather than an immediate consequence of the quest. There are invisible checkpoints inside that gates or on the main road through each city that check the requirements and enable these changes.

Installing mid-game is not recommended. Doing so may cause minor issues; Save Unbaker may help.

If you notice conflicting files with other Environs mods, it's no issue as the files are identical. Load order won't matter.

*** Does NOT require the Environs Master Plugin

Skyrim's world space tends to feel very static. Despite a civil war, dragon attacks, and a rising vampire menace, not much ever changes. If the player could notice visible changes taking place over time it would help make the land of Skyrim feel more alive. It would help give a sense that events were occurring and time was passing throughout a playthrough. Ideally, these changes should be as seamless as possible with the base game. This mod attempts to implement this idea to at a handful of locations.

Nepos House, Markarth

After “No One Escapes Cidnah Mine,” a Nord family will move in, including one child and a Bosmer housekeeper. This requires the quest to be complete and Nepos to be dead. This building will become "Rorygg and Helfhild's House."

Abandoned House, Markarth

After “House of Horrors” a new NPC will take up residence here. Something seems a little strange about him, though… This building will become "Mordyval's House."

Alva's House, Morthal

Once “Laid to Rest” is complete, a Nord woman will move into Alva's House with Hroggar. She’ll become his new wife (Hroggar probably deserves some hap
