📋 About This Mod
WHERE I LAY MY HAT IS HOME.
Mod adds a VERY SMALL and compact "pocket dimension" player home to the game. Filled to the brim with storage, crafting, decorations and utility.
:: REQUIREMENTS ::
ANNIVERSARY UPDATE !
I am using some of the Ayleid ruins items from the Anniversary Update, and don't know if your game will explode with this mod active on older versions of the game.
(no you, don't need the Anniversary EDITION with all the CC, you just need the update to the game (Update.esm)
Think about it like this: If you have Fishing and Survival mode, this mod will work for you.
:: COMPATIBILITY ::
Not compatible with immersion editing mods which remove all equipped items from the player, like Go To Bed.
If you have a mod that unequips gear, use this patch -> Home in a Hat - Unequip F****ry Circumvention
If the hat doesn't appear in your inventory when you enable the mod, try moving it to be later in your load order. Wiggling the load order spot usually helps if the hat doesn't seem to work.

To access the home, put on your wizard hat (under Armor menu).
• As the hat teleportation is a "teleport player" function, if you want to bring followers in,
you might need a "teleport follower to me" spell or some such.
• You cannot actually be seen wearing the wizard hat - I am not equipping the hat into the head slot
so that while using the workbenches, you can use your circlets for al

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust – 6,717 endorsements and nearly 200k downloads show this mod is a favorite.
- Portable convenience – you get a home that fits in your pocket, perfect for adventurers who hate backtracking.
- Made by Elianora – a well-known mod author, so you know the quality is top-notch.
⚠️ Cons
- It's a small home, so don't expect a mansion – if you need lots of storage or display space, this might feel cramped.
- Inspired by Haven Bag, but not the same – if you're looking for the exact features of that mod, you might be disappointed.
- Compatibility risk with other mods that alter the same locations or add similar portable homes – always check for conflicts.
For Skyrim players who want a cozy, portable home that fits their nomadic playstyle. If you're tired of fast-traveling to your house every time you need to drop off loot, this is for you. Skip if you need a large, fully-featured player home with tons of storage and displays.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a pocket home, you can access it from your inventory – make sure to read the mod description for the exact method (likely a spell or item).
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install – no special load order needed for a simple house mod.
- Check the mod page for any patches if you use other popular house mods or overhauls that might conflict.
