📋 About This Mod

The Quaint Hamlet of Soljund's Sinkhole

Overhauls Soljund's Sinkhole into a vibrant little hamlet by giving it two new buildings (including a smithy), four new NPCs, three miscellaneous quests, new architecture, and a landscaping glow-up. This mod is fully voiced and renavmeshed, and is flagged as a Light ESP.

As you can see, the architectural style matches The Great Village of Old Hroldan and The Great Town of Karthwasten, both excellent mods that I strongly recommend using alongside this one. Thanks to Archinatic for the superb new house assets and the permission to use them. Soljund's Sinkhole is a Reachman/Breton town through and through (with five Breton and one Orc npc).

Soljund's Sinkhole remains a quite small location - even though there are now three houses instead of one, the overall footprint of the location remains the same. I've added a well (with Sunhelm support), a small farm, some farm animals, smithing stations / tanning rack, and so on - but only things that would make sense in such a location - you won't find a master enchanting trainer or secret vampire dungeon home here. However, there is a spare bed in the smithy that theoretically would go to the second guard supposed to be posted here. Silverblood corruption being what it is, Soljund's Sinkhole never got staffed to its listed level (though you can be sure the Silverblood family still charges for posting two guards). In the event you choose to marry Perth (or his sister Prynn, a new NPC), their house has been updated with a few clearly labeled safe storage containers.

Perth and Tuthul - the two vanilla Skyrim miners that inhabit Soljund's Sinkhole remain mostly as they were originally, though have been given visual updates to bring them to modern gaming standards. Perth still waits by the mine entrance for you to swing by, and the two of them will still loaf about until you solve the Draugr issue in the mine, at which point they'll get back to mining. As in vanilla Skyrim, Perth is a marriage candidate.

Prynn is Perth's sister and tends the small farm adjoined to their house. If you overhear her talk about needing to make a delivery, she'll give you a small miscellaneous quest. She is also a marriage candidate like her brother.

Midelle is Tuthul's wife, and helps Prynn with the farm duties around the hamlet.

Larza is the local blacksmith. She tends the smelter in the morning and works inside in the afternoon. She offers services on the usual 8am to 8pm schedule. She also offers a miscellaneous quest once you overhear her grumbling about tools.
