📋 About This Mod
The Dark Brotherhood is supposed to be a secret and evil organization but the vanilla sanctuary's and their locations lacked any kid of secrecy so this mod aims to fix that. Now it will be a real challenge to find the Black Doors and the
Immersive Dark Brotherhood Sanctuarys overhauls the Black Doors of the Dark Brotherhood sanctuaries in Skyrim Special Edition, making them more hidden and requiring a master thief's skills to find. It adds two new interior cells and lore pieces, but the author has abandoned the mod and recommends LordKhaox123's version instead. This is a WIP beta with potential issues.

⚠️ Cons
- Author abandoned the mod and admits it has a bug they can't fix, so you're getting an unfinished product.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod is a WIP beta, make a manual save before installing so you can roll back if something breaks.
- Check if you have any mods that alter the exterior of the Falkreath or Dawnstar sanctuaries—those will conflict, so disable them or skip this mod.
- If you run into the bug the author mentions, head to LordKhaox123's mod page (linked in the description) for a more polished version.
