📋 About This Mod
Riverwood Overlook is a small player home south of Riverwood, along the off road connecting Helgen and Riverwood. The home is free and accessible straight away. Be careful though, upon entering for the first time, you will have to... discard of the current tenant. This house is meant for use in the early game, before you earn enough coin to purchase your own home, and as such does not feature an armoury to show off your goods. This house is not applicable for use as a hearthfire/family home. There is a spare bed downstairs for your companion though.
The home includes;
Full blacksmithing area
An enchanter
An alchemy lab
Plenty of safe storage
(I don't think the "bookcase" downstairs is safe)
A few skill books around the house
Riverwood Overlook may not be compatible with any mods that expand Riverwood south into the mountains.
This is my first mod, I hope you enjoy, any feedback is welcomed. Thank you!
