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

 

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/27002/?

 

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.

 

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/17055/?

 

3. Lower Hrothgar

 

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49417/?

 

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.

 

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/52216/?

 

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

 

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/54440/?

 

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.

 

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/31167/?

 

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.

 

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/55760/?

 

9. The Bunker

 

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/53331/?

 

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.

 

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/53331/?

 

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.

 

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/21918/?

 

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.com/skyrim/mods/38856/?

 

2. Kagrenacs Mountain Fortress

 

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

 

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/47773/?

 

3. Sleeping Tree Sanctuary

 

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

 

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/17289/?

 

4. Sutvaka Fortified Estate

 

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/33473/?

 

5. The Warren

 

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/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.

Druids Den - Collectors Edition by Saerileth

This is my favorite home, a remodeled Nordic ruin well decorated and equipped with all the crafting and other amenities you'll ever need. The Den doesn't come stocked with freebies, but it does have very well done scripted displays for all manner of gear & clutter you find.

Aemers Refuge Continued by LeanWolf and masterofshadows

You really need to check out the mod page for all the details, this place is my late game stronghold.

 

All Homes Remodeled - Now with more room for kids - Requires Hearthfires and Dragonborn - WIP by Galadreal

This is a great remodelling effort, and all in one esp. I was very impressed with the extensive Lakeview Manor Cellar, including a dormitory for four followers plus bathing pool and wine cellar.

Aemer's Refuge continued is pretty awesome... Great for use with the Dev Aveza after you get rid of the dragons haha

 

All Homes Remodeled has possiblities... I will check into that one. :)

 

I'm thinking, but haven't yet verified, that Aemer's & All Homes would be able to interact via the teleport doors present in Aemer's. That would certainly qualify as possibilities, add the Dev and you're really well set (maybe throw in the Northern Cardinal for good measure).

Elianora's house mods are all pretty amazing. I don't use them, though, because they are very demanding and my machine can't handle them well currently.

 

Frost Ivy Glade is very nice but I ended up not using it because it is so close to the Skaal Village. There is another Solstheim Extended that adds a home in the Skaal village that is nice but I don't use it much because there are no follower beds.

 

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/34231/?

 

There is another house mod in Solstheim that I forgot to mention in my list. I think it's very well laid out, although there is only one follower bed... It's also pretty close to Severin Manor haha It can be found on Steam. It is called The Redoran House.

 

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=263871007

 

I also really like this one but I had to pull it out because there is one bug the author has not been able to correct...

 

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/52299/?

 

Tel Ascadia is very well laid out. However, followers will not use the levitation stream or follow through the portal stones although they are able to sandbox on either floor without difficulty.

As the title say :3

Mine are absolutely Old Oak and Wyvern Rock Castle

I love the magic feeling those two houses have, specially Wyvern Rock during Holidays.

I'm also waiting for a castle called "Clockwork" that looks pretty good

I really really want that house in your picture.

 

 

You can find it here the author worked on it for years but for what I know the castle is already done and he is just waiting to finish the quest that comes with the house. If this mod will ever be published will be a masterpiece for sure

I'm waiting for it too but I've lost all hope. 

The author said that the castle itself is done but he is still working at the quest before releasing the mod.

but.. could not not release a version 1.0 of victorian house with only the house, and subsequently complete a version 2.0 with the quest ? :wacko:

 

all release multiple versions of their mods, do not understand why he wants to do otherwise, releasing everything together in a single version of "final" license to mention that the quest interested in 30% of users :(

I guess he is putting a lot of passion in this work and he would feel bad to release something "unfinished", he said that some parts of the castle would be meaningless without the quest.

I can totally understand and I respect this way to make things, specially if you are doing it just for fun. 

Most likely he is just a really busy person too...  :unsure:

 

Though that teasing is really bad ; _ ; specially if you are impatient like me

quests in the houses are interesting only when there is something mysterious, macacro, horror, etc.. in this kind of House.. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/44496/?

 

we hope that at least by the end of the year is released..!  :-/

Oh, yes the quest will be a horror quest! And judging by his ability to create mods it will be a very good one too

 

Now I have even more desire to try it.. :blush:

My personal favourite is the Riverside Lodge with Sauna. It's pretty compact inside, with no big indoor spaces. Makes it nice and cosy, and the view from the front door is fantastic :)

 

 

This is lovely! Everything looks perfect and in order inside, I like its simplicty... nothing pretentious ^L_^

 

Been fixed in my load order for ages, it has a really good location and layout, the Authour has released Mamouth Manor recently, well worth checking out.

For me, it's the Skyrim Adventures Tent. On the outside it's just a normal tent, on the inside it got everything you need, a double bed, mannikins beds for followers, crafting stations and a working shower! It's a summoning spell, cast it where you want your tent and then cast again to pack it up. When summoned, you get a map marker.

So handy with General Stores addition but a total cheat for Frostfall type immersion :) use with Whiterun Mansion and Niires General Stores mods for the vanila homes and you'll never be without a steel ingot again!

 

Two no doors player homes well worth a mention are Skyview and Heartwood Cottage (don't worry the Dragon is just visiting in the images) just don't forget to lock the doors when you leave.
