📋 About This Mod

  • []INTRODUCTION

I've always had a soft spot for the vanilla player homes, especially the ones in the major cities. There's something about them: the unique designs, the quests you need to do to get them (even tho not all of them are interesting, I must admit), the lives that your spouses and children can live in a walled city, your faithful and unwanted family addition - I mean, your housecarl... As I always do in my never ending modding journey, I strive to stay as close to the vanilla feeling as possible with the mods that I use, but unfortunately I never found a proper overhaul that really keeps things simple and lore-friendly. Don't get me wrong, there are some awesome options out there, and I got inspired by them, but unfotunately they didn't seem right for what I had in mind: one added a bath or extra beds, another used new assets or altered the original layout... Not bad options, just not was I was looking for, you know what I mean? So... I willingly decided to fall into the rabbit hole that is the Creation Kit, and I started to learn how to do things my way. This series aims to transform all vanilla player homes into something more, but still vanilla. Hopefully it will turn out great: I'm open to suggestions and technical advices, since that I'm still an amateur modder.

  • []WHAT THIS MOD CHANGED AND ADDED

I was honestly shocked at how well decorated vanilla Vlindrel Hall already is, so I had little to work on. The home is nice and cozy, but at the same time the stone walls give a somewhat hostile feeling to the place. I tried to reflect that while staying as light as possible with the changes:

- Minor additions to the main hall.

- Dining areas with more decorations and food, with Hearthfire oven and butter churn added.

- Minor changes to player and kids bedrooms.

- Alchemy table added in the enchanting room, so you can buy the kid's bedroom with no worries.

- More refined and dignified housecarl room.

- Some minor external changes and decorations, nothing too fancy.

NOTE: no light bulbs added, no vanilla lighting changes, no navmeshes edited, all new objects that may get in the way are navcut (hopefully), file cleaned and flagged as ESL, so it won't take a plugin spot. Let me know if something is wrong and I'll try to fix that!

ANOTHER NOTE: if you want to make a patch for this mod, feel free to share it, but I'm too lazy to make them.

  • REQUIREMENTS AND NOTES

None, but there is a BIG NOTE: the changes were done in the CK without taking in consideration the buy-upgrades-from-steward system, since it was too much of a pain to even consider to deal with scripts. That means that if you haven't fully upgraded the house before entering it, you might find floating

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a simple file drop, just extract the archive into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no extra steps needed.
  • If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, make sure you grab the correct version for your game; the mod page should specify.
  • Load order doesn't matter much for a standalone home overhaul, but place it after any mods that touch Markarth to be safe.
