📋 About This Mod

Development Notice

5/25/22 - The previously (prematurely) announced re-write is currently on indefinite hold. I keep running into random issues with my current re-write that I can't pin down. Therefore I will likely re-write again using what I've learned in the most recent rewrite. It's not a high priority at the moment as I'm pretty burned out with the development of this particular mod.

Let's face it, inns are not immersive in Skyrim. The innkeepers are robots that don't sleep, rooms cost barely more than an apple, and there's always a room available. No more. With this mod, innkeepers will sleep at night, inns have different prices, and there's always a chance you'll go to rent a room only to find that none are available. There are other mods that do bits and pieces of this, but I made this one to do everything I felt was missing from the default system.

I designed this to be as lightweight as possible. I also kept changes to default records to a minimum. The only one that I had to do in order for this to work was unchecking the Constant flag on the RoomCost global variable.

    Installation

    Simply install with your mod manager of choice.

    In my testing, simply overwriting your current install will be fine. If you run into any issues, I'd recommend doing a full uninstall of your current version (and maybe cleaning the save), then installing the newest version.

    Registering Custom Inns

    Making a mod-added inn be managed by this mod is fairly simple. First, make sure you have the inn registration spell by going to the System/Debug tab in the MCM and clicking Toggle Custom Inn Spell. Simply point your crosshair at the innkeeper and cast the spell. You'll be prompted to choose a slot. This mod gives you five (5) slots for custom inns. You can clear these out at any time in the MCM.

    Once you register the innkeeper, simply leave and re-enter the inn and it will work just like the ones natively covered by this mod. Note that this feature will only apply the custom pri
