📋 About This Mod

A quick note about the screenshots: the original versions were very dark, it's supposed to be a darker house à la Morrowind, but not that dark! So to reflect how the place looks in my game I've messed with the colours a bit, but now they look a little "off", still, you get the...  picture.

--Updated--

Courtesy of AetusEternal, the save-game issue affecting Svellheim appear to have been resolved.

I'd highly recommend downloading the Svellheim 1. 1 version.

Note: You only need one of the .esp files.

Do not update to version 1. 1 if you are currently using the home!

It will reset the house to its default state (all stuff gone/containers emptied).

[Requirements]

Skyrim Special Edition, probably best to have it up to date.

Should work with just about everything, as long nothing alters the cell the house sits on.

ENB - never tested it, probably won't work well, if you do please let me know how it goes!

As always, you use mods at your own risk, so please make a backup save before installing this mod.

1 scripts folder.

1 Short Readme file.

Simply drop the Svellheim_1. 0.esp and Scripts folder into your Data folder and Activate it in the game.

Install with Vortex/Nexus Mod Manager.

Svellheim is my first Skyrim mod. It was originally intended to be a small shack near the Skaal village for my personal use but, over an embarrassingly long period of time and several iterations due to crashed hard drives, it’s become a little more involved. Today, it’s a medium-ish sized house on the mountain above the village with quite a lot of features. Scroll down for more details and a full list but, in a nutshell: Custom crafting and storage, mounts for everything from daedric artifacts to bug jars and much, much more! Svellheim also boasts one of the best views in the game, in my oh-so-humble opinion, as well as a fish tank! Well, that’s the sales pitch, if you’d like to listen to me ramble on about it in detail keep reading, if you’re more of a pictures and features person, there’re pictures up top

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid community backing with 314 endorsements and over 5,000 downloads.
  • The 1.1 update fixes a save-game issue, showing active maintenance.
  • The darker Morrowind-style look gives it a unique vibe compared to typical homes.

⚠️ Cons

  • Updating to 1.1 resets the house to default, wiping all stored items—back up before switching.
  • ENB compatibility is untested and likely problematic, so ENB users may face visual issues.
  • The mod sits in a specific cell, so any mod altering that cell could conflict.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want a cozy, darker home near the Skaal village with a Morrowind feel. If you're into lore-friendly, atmospheric player homes and don't mind a bit of setup, this is for you. Skip if you're using ENB heavily or expect a fully furnished, feature-packed home.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 5 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're already using version 1.0, don't update to 1.1 unless you're okay with the house resetting—move your stuff out first.
  • Install with Vortex or NMM to avoid manual file placement errors, and make sure the ESP is activated in your load order.
  • Since ENB isn't tested, consider disabling ENB or testing in a clean save to see if visuals break.
