📋 About This Mod
RIVERWOOD SMELTER
By TheWulfPanda
What this mod does:
This mod simply adds a smelter in Riverwood next to Alvor's forge.
Installation:
To install, simply DRAG the .esp files from THIS mod into your Skyrim\Data folder or use a mod manager (e.g. Nexus Mod Manager) to install.
Uninstallation:
To uninstall, simply DELETE the .esp files from THIS mod from your Skyrim\Data folder or use a mod manager (e.g. Nexus Mod Manager) to uninstall.
Compatibility:
This mod should be compatible with 99. 98% of mods on the Nexus and beyond. However, if one finds an incompatibility somewhere, let me know ASAP and I will try to fix it... ASAP.
Some incompatibilities arise when you mix my mod with other mods that edit the same area such as JK's Riverwood. Either choose mine which is small and simple and doesn't add a heap of other things like his mod does, or choose his mod for a more expanded Riverwood town.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 577 endorsements and 9,000 downloads—clearly a go-to for Riverwood smelting.
- Tiny footprint: just one .esp file, so it won't bloat your load order.
- Saves you a trip to Whiterun every time you need to smelt—huge QoL for early-game crafting.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016, so it might be outdated for newer Skyrim versions or mod setups.
- Potential conflicts with popular overhauls like JK's Riverwood—you'll have to pick one.
- No patches or updates in years, so if you run into issues, you're on your own.
For Skyrim players who hate trekking to Whiterun just to smelt ore and want a quick, no-frills addition to Riverwood. Skip if you use heavy town overhauls like JK's Riverwood, or if you want more than a single smelter—this is purely functional.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and enable—no manual file dragging needed.
- Check your load order: place this mod after any Riverwood overhaul mods to avoid conflicts, or skip it if you use JK's Riverwood.
- Since it's an .esp only, you can safely uninstall mid-playthrough, but make sure you're not standing near the smelter when you remove it.
