📋 About This Mod
There are plenty of mods that add smelters to various blacksmith workshops in vanilla Skyrim, though not yet for Skyrim SE. I aim to fix that.
Description
Throughout my play-through, I have given smelters to every blacksmith that I have came across which was unfortunate enough to be without one.
You are a blacksmith, right? Do you seriously only buy ingots.. no ore? Wouldn't it be nice to be able to smelt down raw materials?
I've expanded the scope of the mod to include additions of other smithing equipment, to even more places!

Compatibility
Open Cities Skyrim (partial) - You'll get OCS smelters in the once-walled cities and WYS everywhere else.
JK's Riverwood and Whiterun - Use the patch.
Other mods which make changes (specifically additions) to the modified areas will conflict (i.e. duplicates) without a patch!
Quest: Glory of the Dead - In the Skyforge, during the funeral, some attendees stand on the newly placed equipment.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (2,810 endorsements) — this is a proven QoL mod
- Saves you the trek to a dedicated smelter every time you need to smelt ore
- Simple concept that fits right into the game without overhauling anything
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016 — might not be patched for the latest Skyrim versions or mods
- Could conflict with other mods that alter blacksmith shop layouts or add new smelters
- No compatibility patches mentioned, so you'll need to test with your load order
For Skyrim players who hate running between forges and smelters while crafting. If you're a blacksmithing enthusiast or just want smoother crafting sessions, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you're on a mod list that already adds smelters everywhere or if you want more than a simple convenience tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place this mod early in your load order to minimize conflicts with other world-editing mods
- If you use a mod manager, let it handle the file placement — it's a simple ESP, so no manual merging needed
- Check the blacksmith in Whiterun first to see the smelter in action before trusting it in other cities
