📋 About This Mod
"If you're looking to settle in Riften, there's a house for sale - Honeyside. See the steward in the keep if you want it."
- Riften Guards
- Description -
This mod overhauls Honeyside, the default player home located in Riften. This overhaul aims to create a warmer home for the Dragonborn and its family, adding an entire floor and completely reworking the initial floor-plan. The mod makes almost entirely use of Skyrim assets with a few custom-made meshes to fit the needs of the house. it should be compatible with most HD re-meshes and re-textures out there as long as they stay close to the original shapes they are replacing. I am using a few myself and have not come across any problems so far.
- Installation - - Make sure your version of HS Resources is up to date, if not, download and install the latest release, this is a mandatory requirement and you might be missing some items if you're using an outdated version. Make sure to track the mod as well so you get notified of any update.
- Use a mod manager software such as Vortex, install, enable the mod and voilà!
- Or drop the content of the archive into your "Skyrim Special Edition\Data" folder
The Loot auto-sort should take care of the rest, but if I'm a bit behind in committing the rules for the newly released mods or if you want to mess around your Load Order on your own it is recommended to load this mod fairly late in the LO to prevent any other mods to mess with visual elements of the cell, patches might be required in some cases but I will not be making them myself unless I'm personally using the mod.

Honeyside really is the best place to raise children, while inside they will enjoy a nice room equipped with a study and a private bathroom, the orphanage on the other side of town will provide them with plenty of company to play around with!
