📋 About This Mod

The public face of a respectable Thane meets a secret world of larceny. Enjoy the home you earned by both honest and unscrupulous means.

Lore friendly; buy the home in the usual way. ( Important: to properly display the Children’s room: first buy the Enchanting room, then

buy the Children’s room to replace it.)

Clerestory light resembles the exterior

Compatible with Multiple Adoptions, with different bedroom configurations for two to six children.

Interactive: set the table in different ways; choose the rugs and table linens, working shutters and fireplaces.

Two extra follower beds in the Housecarl's room

full bath (when you turn on the wash basin tap, you may change your appearance by "washing your face"

NPC's undress for the bath and bed

Full crafting; kitchen and smithy includes unique “Black mages’ hood”, craftable under leather armor

Unique art, thanks to Jo_Cash and myself

Designed to complement “Brynjolf and the Riften Guild” (the expansion of “Brynjolf has Time” to be released Dec. 2022)

On the way to the cellar: There is both a pull-bar to make everything appear without buying it, and another to remove it.  This must be done if you wish to remove the mod. There is also a test chest.

The Weapon racks have now all been rebuilt for this mod, and it appears to be working as intended.

  • Requires a specific purchase order for the Children's room to display properly, which can be easy to miss.
  • Designed to complement a specific mod ('Brynjolf and the Riften Guild'), so it might feel incomplete without that expansion.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Buy the Enchanting room first, then the Children's room to replace it, or the children's room won't display properly.
  • Use the pull-bar in the cellar to make everything appear without buying it, and use the other to remove it if you need to uninstall.
  • If you use Multiple Adoptions, check the different bedroom configurations to find the one that fits your family size.
