📋 About This Mod
This mod adds windows where it should be inside.
Since the release of Skyrim, this detail bothered me. When you have 12 windows outside and 0 inside my brain crashes every time ! :')
I created it for myself, but I think others have this effect too, so I'm sharing it for those who like the little details.
70+ Windows added
Six houses, Tavern, Castle, Temple, Fishery, Meadery and Orphanage now have windows inside.
Day and Night emittance.
LUX add-on by GGUNIT Available Now !!
Charge this mod before light mod in load order !
For exemple, in right side of MO2 :
- RYFTEN - Consistency of windows in Riften
- Lux ( all esp )
Same for other light mod.
Otherwise you will have a difference in brightness.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 2,665 endorsements and 3.8M downloads — this is a must-have for Riften overhaulers.
- No added lights means it plays nice with lighting mods like Lux — you can pair it without conflicts.
- ESL-flagged ESP keeps your load order clean, perfect for mod lists with lots of plugins.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects Riften — if you want consistency across all cities, you'll need other mods.
- Requires JK's mods for the patches, so you'll need to grab those separately if you use them.
- No light sources means windows won't glow at night unless you pair with a lighting mod — might look flat in vanilla lighting.
For Skyrim players who love Riften and want its exteriors to match the interiors, especially if you use JK's city overhauls. Also great for mod list builders who want a lightweight, compatible immersion fix. Skip if you don't care about visual consistency or never visit Riften.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use JK's Riften or JK's Mistveil Keep, grab the corresponding patches from the mod's Files tab — they're essential for compatibility.
- Since the mod adds no lights, pair it with a lighting overhaul like Lux or ELFX to get glowing windows at night.
- The ESL flag means you can safely add this to your load order without worrying about the 255 plugin limit.
