I've tried a lot of house mods since I started playing this game with mods... I don't have the most powerful machine in the world so there are a few characteristics a house mod needs to have for me.

1. Performance friendly.

2. Follower beds, 6 - 8. Having more people than that in a room and I start dropping frames...

3. All crafting amenties and enchanting amenities.

4. Named storage is preferable. Sorting scripts are not.

Here is a list of house mods I still have in my load order, in no particular order. They are all on the Nexus, some possibly on Steam.

1. Bellustu

2. Broken Oar Grotto

I like the simplicity of this mod. Basically just turns this small dungeon into a player home, chests don't respawn and neither do the bandits that used to live there and are related to a quest.

3. Lower Hrothgar

4. Raven's Nest Tower.

This one only has two follower beds but I love the design of the place and it's location on the map.

5. Fort Riverstone

This one has a little quest attached it, in the form of clearing out some tough bandits but then this place is yours.

6. Riverwood Fort and Shack

7. Severin Manor Improvements

Makes some favorable changes to Severin Manor, nothing too radical. There's also a nice related mod for adding a guard/housecarl to Severin Manor which is a nice compliment.

8. White Wall Burrow

This one is a recent favorite. It's close to Whiterun, it's performance friendly and it's got just about everything I need.

9. The Bunker

10. Fort Gnisis

This is one of my favorites but it's slightly broken. The Reaver gang respawns over time, one of the mannequins needs to be disabled and some of the idle markers need to be adjusted. Apart from that, it's a very cool idea for a home.

11. Vjarkell Castle

This place is a little larger than I would like it to be but it's very well designed and there is a small quest attached to it.

Here is a list of some that I really like but do not have active in my load order right now...

1. Hammerfell Border House

http://www.nexusmods...im/mods/38856/?

2. Kagrenacs Mountain Fortress

This place is pretty awesome once you get inside but not totally performance friendly.

3. Sleeping Tree Sanctuary

Same with this place but it's incredibly well thought out and in a unique location.

4. Sutvaka Fortified Estate

http://www.nexusmods...im/mods/33473/?

5. The Warren

http://www.nexusmods...im/mods/32456/?

A few of these that I've listed above are a great compliment to one of the coolest player house mods on the Nexus, the Dev Avesa. If you can get the thing to work right, you can fly over to some of these places, park your ship and drop the ladder.
