📋 About This Mod
HIDDEN HIDEOUTS OF SKYRIM CITY EDITION SE
Hidden Hideouts of Skyrim City Edition is designed to provide your characters with immersive areas in each major city for rest, storage, and the occasional amenity. They are intended to be largely neglected or forgotten locations that a criminal, vagrant, or lone wolf might inhabit while visiting a hold capital. Each location had to meet certain criteria, such as being an area where an entrance both inside and outside the city was feasible as well as being accessible enough that it could be entered quickly. Also, the entrances had to be relatively inconspicuous to avoid unwanted attention.
HOW MANY HIDEOUTS ARE THERE?
There are 5 hideouts available, one each in Whiterun, Solitude, Markarth, Windhelm, and Riften. Hideouts are available as individual plugins (so that you may pick and choose which ones best suit your play style) or merged together into a single file. Pictures under the Images tab are labeled to show the outer city map marker, both entrance exteriors, and interior of each location.
All hideouts are fully NavMeshed so followers can join you inside each location.
DO THEY COME IN DIFFERENT FLAVORS?
Yes! Hideouts, both merged and modular, come in three different versions: Standard, No Map Marker, and Deep Immersion.
Standard: Features at least two safe storage containers, a fire with a cooking pot, and a place to sleep. Other amenities such as tanning racks, grindstones, workbenches, or alchemy and enchanting tables, are only available if it made sense to the setting. You can view what amenities each hideout has under the ReadMe tab or during mod installation.
No Map Marker: Simply the Standard version without map markers, thus preventing any fast travel to them and making them more challenging to find.
Deep Immersion: An interpretation of what the hideouts were like when your character first discovered them. There are no map markers, camping equipment and storage may or may not be present, and many of the hideouts are occupied by who knows what!
IS THERE ANY IN GAME HELP TO FIND THE HIDEOUTS?
Yes! The Merged - Standard and Merged - No Map Marker versions offer a journal belonging to an unfortunate thief on t
