📋 About This Mod
This is a port of the original mod: Raven Castle by Cirena.
All credits go to them and the people in the credits section.
Version 1. 2. 8 is now availiable on console as well! Though still a wip. I would like to state that I have no hand in this but I endorse it and will provide any technical support I can. Though I do not own a console and thus isn't able to test things myself.

Recomended mods
Enhanced noble furniture: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/5265/?
I highly recommend this as it gives the forest a lot more feel to it without overgrassing the place: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/9185/?
Insanity's ebony sword replacer: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/37645/?
I have used these meshes when I've created the weapon plagues on the walls and placements on tables so it might look better.
Behemoth the feathered dragon: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/17473/?
(This will make the dragon resting on top of Raven mountain look more like a raven.)

✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,862 endorsements and over 63k downloads
- Perfect for vampire role-players who want a grand, thematic home
- Authorized port means you're getting the original content, not a shady rip-off
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches
- No mention of built-in follower storage or crafting facilities, so you might need to add those yourself
- Large castle layout might feel empty if you're used to more compact, functional homes
For vampire role-players in Skyrim SE who want a sprawling, atmospheric castle with a cathedral and cemetery. If you're a completionist who loves collecting homes, this is a must-have. Skip if you prefer small, efficient player homes or if you're not into vampire themes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a port, make sure you have the original mod's assets if required, but the SSE port should be standalone.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and manage load order easily.
- If you're playing with other vampire mods, check for compatibility patches to avoid conflicts.
