📋 About This Mod
Are you a True Nord™ ? Do you worship Talos, proudly?
Are you a burly, seasoned warrior who likes killing things and drinking mead?
If the answer is yes, then I have a house for you!
Stormcloaky cabin next to the Windhelm stables. Meant for a warrior character.
Built for my Stormcloak commander and "true Dragonborn of the North" type of char.
No mapmarker since you can just travel to Windhelm Stables.
Two versions available: Stormcloak and non-Stormcloak
House can be purchased by clicking the "For Sale" sign. It costs 7 500 septims.
Do not click the sign unless you have the monies. xD
:: FEATURES ::
- Armour stands and wardrobe automagically change according to character's sex
- Lock the front door by clicking the house key in your inventory
- Unique clutter and furniture. Awesome warrior theme
- All smithing except woodchopping (one is behind Windhelm Stables)
- Unique display for Ysgramor's Shield and Axe and the Longhammer (an awesome unique warhammer)
- Bed gives well-rested bonus
- Basement has more storage and an alchemy lab
- A few mannequins and weapon displays
- Tons of unique custom named and organised storage

No enchanting. You're a warrior, not a mage. Geez.

:: KNOWN ISSUES AND INCOMPATIBILITIES ::
- The sauna benches must be close to the wall so the third person camera flips its shiz during the animation.
- Your house's front yard WILL be attacked during the civil war. This is not an issue, it's a feature.
- Not compatible with mods that add a house to the same area. DUH. Why do you need 2 houses in the same area anyway?
:: RECOMMENDED MODS ::

Q: THE CAMERA CLIPS TO WALLS IN THE SAUNA!?

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 5,162 endorsements and nearly 400k downloads.
- Vanilla-only requirement means it works with any mod setup.
- Perfect for Stormcloak role-players who want a lore-friendly home near Windhelm.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016 — may not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition patches.
- Small cabin means limited storage and display space compared to larger player homes.
- No mention of crafting stations or follower support — likely a simple, bare-bones home.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a vanilla-only mod, you can install it manually by dropping the files into your Data folder, but using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 makes uninstalling easier.
- If you're playing Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod has an SE version or use the Cathedral Assets Optimizer to convert it.
- Place this mod in your load order after other mods that edit Windhelm exteriors to avoid conflicts.
