📋 About This Mod
Does this sound like you?
"Sure, I'm a thief and assassin, but my fam needs somewhere respectable to live. We're really into beekeeping, booze, and stuffed bunnies. But I also don't want my swag oppressed. I need loads of storage. Like so much. I want to show off all the goodies I've stolen collected. My therapist says I'm a hoarder, but my probation officer thinks it's a healthy outlet."

[]Overhauls Honeyside, the vanilla player home in Riften.
[]Apiaries and honeycombs abound! You're a beekeeper now bae.
[]Same number of windows inside as outside, unlike vanilla!
[]Room for two rugrats, a housecarl, and a hubby (same as vanilla).
[]Custom crafting stations for alchemy and enchanting. No smithing stations since they're literally ~40 ft. away by Balimund, but there is smithing storage. JK, added smithing to porch in 1. 1 because I forgot smelters in all cities is not a vanilla feature.
[]Quick access to the Ragged Flagon. One-way, so no one wanders into your bedroom uninvited.
[]Custom music type in the house using seven tracks from The Witcher 3.
[]Two guards, each with a 12 hour shift, stand guard at the front door and serves as fences.
[]Extensive collection of displays, including dragon priest masks, dragon claws, black books, elder scrolls, and daedric artifacts.
[]Plenty of weapon racks, shield displays, weapon cases, and mannequins.
[]Some armor comes on static displays (TG armor, DB armor, Wedding Outfit, and Nightingale Armor). I like wearing these, but I want them on display too. I do what I want.
[]Lots of room for books. Steal a whole library. I believe in you.
[]Wind chimes with sound fx on the porch to soothe you while you reflect on your questionable life choices. Good place for those long chats with Inigo.
[]Many custom textures (signs, doors, art, furniture, etc.) so everyone can tell you're a special snowflake.
[*]Buying decoration upgrades doesn't do anything, it will be upgraded at the start because upgrades were being buggy. However, you should go buy the child room upgrade right away because the adoption quest checks for it. No child room upgrade = no babies for
