📋 About This Mod
Adds light sources (braziers, lanterns, and candles) to the entrances of inns. Makes entrances much more warm and inviting to guests. Great for weather/lighting mods that make nights very dark.
All base game inns found outside of major cities are covered, including:
Braidwood Inn (Kynesgrove)
Dead Man's Drink (Falkreath)
Four Shields Tavern (Dragon Bridge)
Moorside Inn (Morthal)
Nightgate Inn (West of Windhelm)
Windpeak Inn (Dawnstar)
Old Hroldan Inn (East of Markarth)
Vilemyr Inn (Ivarstead)
Frostfruit Inn (Rorikstead)
Sleeping Giant Inn (Riverwood)
Frozen Hearth (Winterhold)
All plugins are flagged as esl.
Compatible with city and town overhauls that don't drastically change layouts of these towns. I made sure to position light sources that won't intersect decor added by other popular mods.
Perfectly complements mods that also add lights and decorations to towns, including:
Capitals and Towns of Skyrim (I did not add roof lanterns to the cities that CaToS already covers)
Spaghetti's Cities
Spaghetti's Towns
Northern Roads (with updated files!)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and effective: does exactly what it says, no bloat
- Community-approved with 160 endorsements and 15k downloads
- Lightweight cosmetic change that won't hurt performance
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects inn entrances, so impact is limited
- No compatibility info, might conflict with other lighting mods
- Last updated June 2026, but no guarantee it works with latest game patches
For players who want a cozier atmosphere in inns without overhauling lighting. If you're a completionist who notices small details, this is a nice touch. Skip if you want major visual changes or gameplay tweaks.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager, just download and activate; if manual, drop the files into your Data folder.
- Check if you have other lighting mods that affect inns to avoid conflicts.
- Load order usually doesn't matter for simple mesh/texture mods, but place it after major overhauls if issues arise.
