✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 536 endorsements and over 9,000 downloads
- Packed with interactive details like light switches and a map that fast-travels you to major locations
- Compact design means every room is optimized but still highly detailed
⚠️ Cons
- Key is hidden in an abandoned worker's house nearby, which might take a bit to find
- Only supports one follower (maybe two), so not ideal for large entourages

If you enjoy interactive details like lighting control and an interactive map, this is a great pick. Skip if you need a large home for many followers or prefer a more modern, frequently updated mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Look for the key in the abandoned worker's house near Mixwater Mill—it's not in the main house itself.
- Use the interactive map upstairs to fast-travel to major locations, saving you some walking.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting anything.
