📋 About This Mod
Part of Ryn's Skyrim
An ongoing project with the goal of bringing Skyrim's Worldspace to a more updated level of detail with new locations, improved locations, and more interesting encounters, all while generally sticking to Bethesda's style of level design, and with performance and mod compatibility for the average player in mind.

Ryn's Hod and Gerdur's House
An unremarkable interior, owned by what should be the wealthiest people in Riverwood, is far from portraying that wealth.
While I did not make Hod and Gerdur rich with coin, I made them rich with a beautiful home. Now with enough space to house everyone who lives there. If you're familiar with my other Riverwood Overhauls, this one follows the very same formula.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 1,522 endorsements and 762k downloads.
- ESL-flagged, so it's a no-brainer for load order space.
- Ryn is a well-known mod author, so quality is expected.
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers one house interior—if you want more, look elsewhere.
- No screenshots or detailed description, so you're going in blind.
- Last updated in 2023, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates.
For Skyrim players who want to spruce up Riverwood's most iconic house without adding heavy mods. If you're a completionist who loves detailed interiors, this is a must-have. Skip if you're looking for major gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's ESL-flagged, you can place it anywhere in your load order, but keeping it near other interior overhauls is safe.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and enable—no manual file placement needed.
- Check for compatibility with other Riverwood overhauls, as they might conflict on the same cells.
