📋 About This Mod
ABOUT:
This mod is a combo of interior and exterior works, the best elements of my work from Riverwood Grove, Markarth Origin, TPOC, as well as Inn alterations taken from my Skyrim Farmhouse Inn mod for The Sleeping Giant Inn.
This mod has a massive collector's home which is home for two followers, the key to the home can be found in a barrel somewhere in Riverwood. There is a border hold coming into Riverwood, with working practices/craftsmanship and other themes I have addressed to make the village as alive and as intreating as possible without overdoing it. This mod cannot be run with TPOSC as it has most of these elements already, and TPOS 2 V10 has its own version of this mod. This mod and options are standalone for Riverwood.
If you want to use the NPC idles, like the swing chair use mods like 'dovah can relax' OK
PLEASE NOTE--TPOS 2 V10 HAS ITS OWN

COMPATABILITY
This mod is not compatible with any other Riverwood exterior mod, or mod that changes the inn interior. There are patches in the download area for RLO, EL&FX, and S3D Landscapes. Please note there are three patches for RLO, one for just the interior inn changes if you use just the independent inn file and another patch for those that use both the inn and Riverwood file too, and finally an exterior ROL patch for those that just use the ROL exterior lighting file.
LOADING & LOAD ORDERS:
You must start a new game, and place the Riverwood mod low down in your load order and after Alternate Start - Live Another Life. Do not let other files overwrite my work unless you know what you are doing. The patches in the download area contain load order information for running the mods and patches in the right order. You will notice in the above image I had yet to patched for Mathy's work... ;)
INSTALLING
Use your AI Vortex MO 2 or other. Do not uninstall mid-game. Run your lod generator if required.
FILE COMPONENTS
The packed files consist of allowed resource files for mod makers and all authors are credited. Basic Lods' and of course the esp file. If I have missed any authors out of the credits please infor
Riverwood by Nesbit is a comprehensive overhaul of the Riverwood village in Skyrim, combining interior and exterior changes, a collector's home with two followers, and a border hold. It includes patches for lighting mods and requires a new game. Not compatible with other Riverwood overhauls or TPOSC.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 248 endorsements and over 7.5k downloads.
- Bundles a lot of content—interior, exterior, a home, and followers—into one package.
- Patches for popular lighting mods (RLO, EL&FX) show the author cares about compatibility.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires a new game and specific load order placement, which can be a hassle for existing playthroughs.
- Not compatible with any other Riverwood exterior mod or TPOSC, so you'll have to choose between this and other overhauls.
- Last updated in 2021, so it may not be fully tested with the latest Skyrim versions or mods.
For Skyrim players who want a comprehensive, lore-friendly overhaul of Riverwood with extra content like a player home and followers. If you're already using TPOSC or another Riverwood mod, skip this—it won't work alongside them.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Start a new game and place this mod low in your load order, after Alternate Start - Live Another Life, to avoid conflicts.
- If you use lighting mods like RLO or EL&FX, grab the appropriate patches from the download area.
- Don't use this with TPOSC or any other Riverwood exterior overhaul—it will break.
