📋 About This Mod
Tem's Houses
Overhauls the interior of Heimskr's home in Whiteurn. Mod is ESL Flagged so it won't take up an ESP slot in your load order, the interior overhaul only uses base-game vanilla assets so the interior looks may vary based on what texture mods you have installed.
Heimskr's House
Heimskr. The one we all know and love so very much, his stunning fervour, his endless ability to terrorise enlighten the denizens of Whiterun. Although his home may be small, he only has room for Talos in his heart.Changes to the house include his Heimskr's very own shrine to Talos, which is odd that he didn't have one to begin with, I mean, c'mon. All his worldly possessions and generous donations are surrounding the shrine as symbol of his dedication to Talos or are goodies up for grabs for any prospecting members of the Thieves Guild or perhaps even those who support the Thalmor...
Large changes to the home include the raising of the floor and the firepit to a consistent height with the bedroom. The addition of the shrine and the multiple seats have been removed, after all it is Heimskr's private residence, not the local temple.
In its place a small dining table has been placed with food. The bedroom has been re-arranged to accommodate more furniture, adding in a new dresser and wardrobe. Lots of additional clutter added, more skulls, food, silverware and junk.
The navmesh was lifted to work with the newly raised wooden floor so there shouldn't be any issues with NPCs moving about the cell.
A compact, lightweight overhaul of Heimskr's home in Whiterun, using only vanilla assets for a seamless plug-and-play experience. ESL-flagged for load order efficiency. Ideal for Skyrim players seeking a subtle, lore-friendly refresh without custom content.
