I'm not a fan of clutter, or huge elaborate mansions that add a bunch of static decoration (I guess I'm hard to please). My favorite house mod would then be Rayek's end, it's pretty centrally located between Riverwood and Whiterun, it has nice storage options and it's  a pretty simple cave hideout. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/16028/?

 

such house mods I do not use me is simply too dark. I love the light and also I want to see.

it makes no fun in my house with a torch to walk around. :lol:

A lot of house mods don't work well with ENB.  They are either too dark because the author did not use ENB or the ambiance is really off because the author used something else very different.  I also found that big house mods are usually impressive but not practical at all because all the cell loadings just make the mod more trouble than its worth.  I have tried dozens of house mods and the only ones I keep are the ones made by Elianora, Skyview and Druid's Den (was my main house but it's a bit too dark with my current ENB Serenity).

I love the Bathing Beauty's Mod... though not really a house mod if you add all the extras... it does have a bad habit of dropping to around 15 fps when i'm outside but the inside is stable with my rig..... I also love the cheaters tower, though it is huge... the lighting is perfect for pics and there is more storage space than anyone could ever use.

The Reserve near Rorikstead and the new one, The Reserve II near whiterun.

 

Lakeview extended is pretty good to, make sure to also get the lakeview armory upgrade. Makes the display area a real display area.

 

For know i use Whiterun mansion simply for the excellent storage system and outside crafting area.

 

I have followers staying at Lakeview, Whiterun Mansion, the Reserve 1 and II so it's never empty when i get there and there's always a few hotties around to relax with after another dungeon run :-)

 

Still looking for a nice similar house near Riften. That way i have houses convenienty spread all over Skyrim and enough room for dozens of followers.

 

With AFT outift management they walk around in hot skimpy clothes at home but are ready in full gear if you take them with you.

Looks good, though i'm not really into castles in SKyrim. I always used Rumare Castle or Domrose castle in Oblivion though. And offcourse i think it was from elricm or Canadian ice, a magnificent underwater home in Morrowind.

For me http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/11444/? is the best.

I can show all vanilla armor on the main areas, light armor on on side, heavy armor on another, clothes on the central sides. On extra rooms mod armors categorized.

Enough chests to store your stuff, one near the forge and one near the alchemy/enchat to put mats, I only miss one more to organize alchemy and enchats. You can show weapons an shields too so, all you need is here.

I've recently installed a bunch of house mods and finally getting around to choosing one to call my character's home (I never really used house mods much in previous play-throughs, and when I did I went for simple storage-dump type places).

 

My character is a thief so I'm primarily using the Thief player home in Riften Canal by Elianora at the moment. But my favourite that I've checked out so far (and fallen in love with) are Leaf Rest by Aukmat and Riverside Lodge by Lupus. They'll be my character's getaway, or main homes after moving from Riften after he's done with the Thieves Guild. The locations for both of these homes is just perfectly chosen, especially Riverside Lodge. And they both have a hot tub for those relaxing (and sexy) evenings! The Leaf Rest's inside bath/sauna is freakin' gorgeous, and the pets are a cute addition to the place. These homes are just so functional and feel so... homely.

Yeah it really is great. Nice cozy size, and good-looking storage for absolutely everything in a way that really feels like a proud thief's personal vault/showroom as well as a functional home with all the smithing/alchemy/etc. features that don't feel like they were forced into the space just to have everything there. It's a liveable walk-in treasure chest, and really quite as perfect is it could get for any thief character. Sadly it didn't last long though, as since my last post my character is ready to move onto bigger and better things. I don't want to leave the Thief home yet but it's just too far out of the way for someone with work/quests that aren't situated in Riften.

Hi guys!
this is for me the best house mod "in general", no it's not just a house, far from it! it is a complete quest, with all the trimmings.

I can not describe it, see it you simply on.

My own house mod, Allannaa's Little Cottage -- because it's VERY simple and uncluttered.  And I replaced ugly vanilla textures with pretty ones.  And it's navmeshed correctly so that all followers, but especially Kharjo, can interact inside.  And it doesn't do anything I don't want done.  And it doesn't have a tonne of stuff I'll never use.  (And yes, it's on the Nexus.  But that was before I knew about this site and its non-adult portions)

Possibly Q's World or possibly The Evil Lair of Hydra is my favorite housing mod, the former due to its possession of all of the modern amenities where they really don't belong, giving it an other-worldly flair, the latter since it is so uncomfortably brutal(one even has to earn it through a battle to the finish against 4 high level opponents at once then the Champion of Hydra) that it wraps back around to downright cozy. Both have loads of creepy details and eerie ambiance that set them apart from most of the cheerier housing mods.

They're also both very much adult oriented in contrast to many of the other households that could have easily been plucked out of the Legend of Zelda. 

 

It is Whiterun adjacent. That's a plus.

It's a dead end...or is it?

It even has its own physician's office. Now Skyrim needs some doctors and nurses or at least,someone to play doctor.

The Bathing Beauties or Beefcake Luxury Suite and Underground Bathhouse and Paradise Valley mods do have an advantage over them with their resident customization systems,though.

Without them,I'd have no place to tuck away the new followers from the Blood and Silver mod(especially the male Argonian).
