📋 About This Mod

This is my attempt at adding some variation to the farmhouse architecture.

Whilst deciding how to go about this I started to wonder: Why would everyone in the smaller villages have thatch roofs? Surely the wealthier families can afford something better than grass to keep out the rain?

So I decided to add a tiled roof to the largest of the farmhouse meshes, the L-Shaped, Farmhouse04 mesh. Then, to add even more variety, I ended up creating several versions of the mesh and varied the wall and roof tile textures, using the closest hold capital's wall and roof tile textures where appropriate.

Interior meshes have also been edited to match the textures of the various external meshes.

New collisions were generated for the external meshes to better match the new shapes.

For the parallax versions, all meshes both exterior and interior are parallax enabled.

All meshes use vanilla texture paths and are thus compatible with any retexture of your choice. I include some comparisons in my Images.

Base Object Swapper versions:

The Farmhouse04 mesh is used in only seven locations in the base game. With the BOS version each one of these locations features a unique mesh with matching interior. The plugins are flagged as ESL.

Mesh Replacer versions:

The replacer versions are for those who would like to forgo the BOS requirement and/or would like to not add another plugin to their list. This version replaces the farmhouse04 and appropriate interior meshes with the mesh featured in the "replacer version" images. I chose this version as it uses the Farmhouse Stone Wall and Farmhouse Roof textures making it the most fitting "all in one" replacer.

Requirements (For the BOS versions only):

Base Object Swapper for SE and AE.

Base Object Swapper VR for Skyrim VR.

Installation:

Use only one main file.

Use your preferred mod manager to install as per normal.

Compatibility:

Please be aware that some users have reported that when using the BOS version, along with Alternate Start, a new game is required else the house at Shoal's Rest Farm will be invisible.

🎯 Is This For You?

  • For the Base Object Swapper version, make sure you have Base Object Swapper installed and load this mod after it in your mod order.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to easily switch between the two versions and avoid overwriting conflicts.
