📋 About This Mod
Mod adds the tiniest shack you've seen. It's in Riverwood, across the river from the town. See gallery for a map.
I don't have any Riverwood overhauls so I don't know how badly it will clash with other mods.
There's no fast-travel marker since I just FT to Riverwood and then walk from there.
This is meant as the ABSOLUTELY FIRST starting place for your char.
:: REQUIREMENTS ::
- Skyrim SE up to date
:: FEATURES ::
- Cooking spot, alchemy and enchanting workstations inside the shack
- A non-respawning chest by the Riverwood smithy
(so you can store your smithing materials there without lugging them back and forth)
- 3 planters outside

- Bunch of named, non-respawning storage
- All clutter is static
- Navmeshed and cleaned with xEdit
- Sit on the bed! (sorry, the camera is pretty awful for it :| )
