📋 About This Mod
Nirnmire Grotto
by: venjhammet
Far south of Dragonbridge lies an old Nordic ruin called Nirnmire Grotto. This dungeon is filled with poisonous gases and no one has been able to venture into its depths. Until recently the poisonous gases somehow receded and a small group of Forsworn has managed to enter the dungeon determined to find the hidden relic beneath the catacombs.

Nirnmire Grotto SE is a standalone dungeon mod for Skyrim Special Edition, featuring a Nordic ruin filled with poisonous gases and Forsworn enemies. It uses only vanilla assets, supports Radiant quests, and is optimized with navmesh and room-bound. Compatible with most of the author's other dungeon mods, but not with Hammet Dungeon Pack 2. Requires SE 1.5.97 or AE versions, no SKSE needed.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 139 endorsements and over 8.6k downloads, so it's got a solid track record.
- Uses only vanilla assets, so it's lightweight and won't clash with texture overhauls.
- Radiant quest support means it integrates into the game's quest system, not just a one-off dungeon.
⚠️ Cons
- Not compatible with Hammet Dungeon Pack 2, so if you have that installed, you'll need to choose.
- Last updated in March 2024, so it's not actively maintained, but it's stable for current versions.
- Potential conflict with other dungeon mods that alter the same exterior location, though the author relocated it to avoid one conflict.
For Skyrim players who want a new, lore-friendly dungeon to explore without adding heavy mods. It's perfect for those who enjoy vanilla-style content and want a quick adventure with a bit of a poison theme. Skip if you're looking for high-difficulty or heavily scripted dungeons.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to grab the correct version for your Skyrim edition (SE or AE) from the files section.
- If you're using a mod manager, just download and activate; if manual, drop the files into your Data folder.
- Since it's not SKSE-dependent, it works with both SE and AE, but double-check your game version to pick the right file.
