What a wonderfully cozy home! It feels lived-in in the best possible way. Sometimes, you enter a house and it feels cold/austere, but not this place. I love it. Thanks for sharing, Feb!
So I just stumbled upon this channel looking for a new home for special edition and uncovered one of the most vast and well organized mod channels I’ve ever seen. I’ve just been playing the playlists today on autoplay
I have this home in my current playthrough and I love it. I believe this was the mod author's first home mod, extremely good quality for a first outing! Thank you Feb for the tour, it felt like you were showing off my own home!
What a gorgeous home, a superb upgrade to the stock Lakeview Manor! A wonderful video, with your warm melodic voice making for a relaxing tour through this beautiful home. Thanks for taking the time to do these for all of us. =)
The children’s quarters in this always blow me away; they’re second only to Maple Manor, which payed homage to the forest and nautical themed rooms here and elevated them with astronomy and castle themed rooms too.
Stunning home! Perfect for a more posh character without it being a Castle. And it has a great size, sometimes some houses are just to big and yet empty.. I love that there are separate rooms for children, never understood why would you have a gigantic castle, yet your children sleep all in the same room without any privacy, I mean, technically speaking, they will grow up right? 😂
I'm still looking to mod the locations that the Great City series doesn't touch so you couldn't have picked a better time to cover this from my perspective. Thank you. Now I just have to cover the other two Hearthfire homes, Whiterun, and a couple of minor bits.
I avoided the vanilla version because it felt so...meh. The earlier version of this mod that you showed off previously got my attention but now it has become a must have. Honestly, I ran out of superlatives before you had made it to the kitchen! I love it when a modder truly understands the underlying mechanics of making a place feel real. The little things that tell you they actually invested thought into "if I really lived here how would I...." . Things like how to get running water in a log cabin without pipes, or keeping the heat in the oven with a door and all the other little "real" things that are overwhelmingly awesome in this house. Did you notice that the shelf in the kids room was a toy siege tower? I did; I want one. The guide to where things go for unique items is great. I dont know how many times I have wandered around seeking the unique display spot for an item. After three of four laps around the place just giving up and into a display case or general storage it goes with promises to put it where it belongs if I ever happen upon it. That is an uncomfortable reminder of my real life actually. Thanks Feb for bringing this mod in all its updated glory to us! The name of the mod is absolutely the truth. Well done modder!!!
I always thought that Hearthfire was very much a 'Swing and a Miss' DLC. So much potential and Bethesda implemented it in such a cack-handed and limiting manner.
18:32 Yes: Sophie! I always adopt (( and always will adopt )) her! But don't forget Alesan in Dawnstar. That little fella is such a trooper... and he DESERVES a home!!
Now this is a Lakeview home you can feel good about after you spend the time to build it. It kinda dictates what class of character will live in it but since I'm due for a family mage type I'll have to keep this one in mind... Or you know flip through Febs past videos because I can't remember much of anything without writing it down but then I lose the note I wrote... But I digress. Nice house. Thanks for the show 🤠
@@FebrithDarkstar honestly. I just grab a piece of paper from wherever and make a note. I have so many notes all over the place it takes forever to find the one I'm looking for when I need it. It seems I'm prone to an "organized chaos" approach. The bonus being I'll often find a nice recipe for spiced apples while searching for a Skyrim command id code. 🤔
Love it, whole place is really pretty, there are mods for the Hearthfire homes on PS4 that makes them a bit better, one that turns the back room into the kitchen and another that expands the cellar, the kitchen one is for those who have not built up Lakeview Manor yet. Still this is way nicer of course though I like the vanilla Hearthfire Homes cellar included. This place though blows it all out the water very fancy but not too fancy which I really enjoy it's very cool.
Yeah, this is gorgeous and basically perfect. A very nice design. I don't have much else to say because of how well done it is. Thanks for showing it! :)
Oh!! This looks amazing! 100% my style! I did download this a few weeks ago and followed the instructions but it didn't work so I'm definitely going to play around and try to figure out what went wrong because it looks like this mod might be the Skyrim home I've been looking for! 😍
*Wait, guys.. Kindly help out here. Will this whole mod bug out or not work if someone has already built a lakeview manor before installing the mod????*
Bethesda need to get this mod authors resume... Great work. I liked it before but had strange glitches with doors and walls in odd places.... will try this version. This place is wayyyy more than any Bit or Bob that is for sure.... ☺
That fire place in my game really made me actually sit down before it and actually read several books that were in my inventory. I don't know it's something about it, even though it's a custom version of Lakeview and there's tons of custom homes or even vanilla ones...There's something about constructing this wonderful house all the more rewarding.
Well that's a shame for sure. As I speak I'm watching your Ch on utube. I play on Xbox but got Skyrim the day it came out & love it still. Your vids really highlight your love for all things that make Skyrim perfect for all play styles . The modders are sooo talented . Thanks again & I'll be enjoying your Skyrim Extravaganza's as after the year we have all had .... it's nice to go for a wonder & happily get lost in the land of the Dragonborn 🤗👍😁
That green dress reminds me of the one Anna Popplewell is wearing as Susan in Chronicles of Narnia - it's not the same but I'm just imagening having that one or her battle-"dress" from the Prince Caspian movie available. Yes, those chairs belong into a Roman "Villa Rustica" 😉
I always adopt because (a) I'm a sucker and (b) the little girl will adopt a fox (or other small mammal) and bring it home, and it makes me inordinately happy to have a fox around.
Hey Febreth, I built an herbal alchemist style hobbit house where I live in Kentucky, USA, and it looks a bit like montage of Skyrim, 17th and 18th century times, Victorian and rustic decor. I do practical application herbal alchemy or so they call it in an old fashioned small laboratory I set up complete with old bottles, coffee grinders, mortar and pestles, classic retorts, and other glass equipment with bunson burners and alcohol burners. Touch Sherlock Holmes I guess in a hobbit style environment. I tell you, I get ideas watching your channel, kicking back in a Victorian chair warming by my wood stove with it’s window for firelight and enjoying my teas I work with as well. You inspire creativity and intelligent relaxation. Cheers dear lady!!!! Ahhh time for another video with you and time to put the kettle on. Cheers!
Omg that all sounds so fabulous. I'm an avid admirer of all sort of architectural styles from the simple Anglo Saxon roundhouse (which I wouldn't mind spending a few nights in just to say that I had - though the thought of spiders would surely drive me out) - to the high luxury of Art Deco and everything in between including high fantasy styles. If I had unlimited resources the Gods only know what I'd end up with - a real hodge-podge of hundreds of bits of inspiration taken from life, reading, gaming - it would be FABULOUS and unique!
@@FebrithDarkstar you know, I saw a cordwood roundhouse which I took the idea of cordwood slices and put them on the top half of my walls and made the bottom half look like mortar and rock with vinyl flooring on my wall bottoms and then separated the two halves with cedar half round slabs and around the top and bottoms with slabs and corners too. My shelves and loft ladder are slabs as well. I have faux English ivy vines and moss on cordwood slice wall top half and glow in the dark clay mushrooms and shelf mushrooms on middle slab on one wall, just above my diy glow in the dark green glass crystal chunk on a green marble round table stand in the corner next to my Queen Anne Victorian couch with matching chair. All this is right in front of my wood stove with fire glass window. I cook on that stove or sometimes on my camping burners in my lab setup on the other side of the hobbit hole. I think you would like this small but cozy place. I am trying out my RUclips channel now cause folks wanted to see the place. Hopefully I can get some fair videos out, cause right now they are not that great with a camera phone, but you have to start somewhere. The great Febrith Darkstar and the wonderful Cimbrer bushcraft channels are my go to for relaxation and inspiration. Tom is so cool and you and that amazing voice are like a great cup of British tea for this Kentucky man. Please don’t quit the channel, my lovely friend, cause trust me, without calm and intelligent stimulating channel like the both of you, pretty much all we get is........” hey guys, huh huh check my young silly self on my channel, huh huh, smash that like and subscribe button , blah blah blah.... hey grandma can you make me another grilled cheese , while I try to be cool on RUclips blah blah🤣. You know what I mean..... wow I think I commented a war and peace book long comment. Lol. See ya Febrith. Keep up the great work. We all need it.
@@absentmindedalchemist8496 Hey Kenneth, I just saw the video on your channel - how fascinating it is. I'd love to see the whole of the outside, you look like you've got yourself a charming, snowy little idyll there - are you actually miles away from "civilisation"? I'be be interested to know how you came to be in this place, how it was constructed and how you get services out there! I love tiny homes, we live in one ourselves, an 1820's stone workers cottage that's nowhere near as interesting as your place!
@@FebrithDarkstar Hey Feb! Thanks very much for your kind words. I still need to put dirt around the building to make it into a hobbit hill but I can show you the front of the building In my next video. I’m having to deal with a lot of family emergency right now, and unfortunately I have had some trouble with people trespassing at random. So I don’t live in the middle of nowhere unfortunately , but I’m a bit far from people. I have a few good neighbors that watch over my place. I built a house, and then build a Japanese small village on my property with hot tub house tea house two-story pagoda style, sauna building, Japanese gazebo, and garden shed, all in a Zen garden with a homemade pool with a Koi pond liner all with decks except for the sauna and shed, and all with metal bowed Japanese roofs. I don’t show them on my videos. I live in my hobbit building now because it’s cheaper and old world. Do you have a Facebook page I could connect with because I could show you the pictures if you like and we could chat. About the hobbit house, the outside is still a work in progress and it’s more like a construction zone, but it is a work in progress especially with everything going on and I’m working on it by myself. I will show you in a video what it looks like outside. Oh yes and I almost forgot I go by Brad. It’s great to know you all. I love your channel and the way you go about things and I definitely would like to do some herbal alchemy experiments on my channel but it’s winter time turning to spring and herbs are hard to find but I have a few tricks up my sleeve. I’ll send a few shout outs to you on the next few videos I do to advertise for your channel for you because people need to watch your channel if they like to relax and you have great content. Look forward to talking to you again and take care my friend.
I'm not sure when I tried this mod, but I know I tried a Lakeview As It Should Be mod, and I'm not even certain it was the same author or not. The upstairs was okay, but the main issue was downstairs in the smith area, there was this horrendous seam in the wall that you could physically get stuck behind, and it looked like a wall that was running through the forge itself. It may have been a conflict with Hearthfire Extended, I may not have done something right, but it happened both times I used it, so I gave up on it. I can't try this out again until I start a new game, because I already built Lakeview.
Another great video Feb. I just love the way you show these homes, never even bother with other reviews. I never adobt so I don't use these homes, but I like this much better than v.1 for sure. Have you ever taken a look at Dev Aveza - Tissendel's Interior SE ? It's an interior enhancement mod with optional exterior modification to fit outside with the inside better. It has plenty of options for different character types and I saw in the comments that with a little work it can be made to work with LotD as well. I found it by accident when looking at Dev Aveza updates for LotD version. I came to see if you had made a video about it but couldn't find one, guess I'll have to test it myself first this time. I just made a character that it would be perfect for, especially if I can make it work with LotD.
@@FebrithDarkstar Yeah, it's a shame. I had to get rid of LotD. But OMG the trade off was worth it, it's perfect. Unfortunately Inigo doesn't like going in the hull, but that's his choice. 😅 You should review it as standalone Dev Aveza mod, not everyone is that keen on LotD.
First off love your house reviews been a long time follower of your channel. I do have a question and perhaps you answered it and I missed it, what are the robes that indigo is wearing? If you can remember.
I love this mod I have used it last 2 plays and find it hilarious that Indigo either steals the stewards bed and forces the steward and bard to bunk up or takes over the bards room if I haven't hired a bard yet, when I tell him to make himself at home he certainly does. : )
Hi Feb!! I don't know if you're still answering comments on this vid or not. Are there mods similar to this for the other Hearthfire homes? I have looked sevral times and can't find any. I have already built Lakeview, so I don't want to mess with it, but I would like to change the interiors on the other two homes. Help!! Thank you so much for what you do, and I love listening to you talk. You do an excellent job covering the homes as well, whether they're inside or outside mods. God bless hun and have a great week ahead!! OH, I found out why Inigo doesn't like Windhelm! It's a rather sad, scary story from Inigo's past, if you're interested. ;-)
Not similar to this - no:( If only! I was looking for one as gorgeous and detailed as this but as far as I know there isn't one yet. And aaah yes poor Inigo, he had a terrible time before hooking up with us!
@@FebrithDarkstar Thanks for checking Feb! Do you have any clout with this Mod author, or even another one, so that interiors for the other two could be substituted for the vanilla versions (which really are sad) No wonder Inigo carries Mr. Dragonfly with him everywhere he goes. Could you imagine not remembering what it was like to be human, so much so that you would rather stay as a dragonfly? How sad!
@@leneecasteel2005 Lol err no clout at all:) There are mods for the other Hearthfire homes but (to my taste and obviously yours!) nothing compares to this one!
Wowee...this mod stays in my load order ..i hope the one planter on the palmtree deck got fixed lol,oh that sounded horrible lol..love it,simple touch i love there is a drawer in the smithy for your blacksmith clothes n shoes
You are right to hesitate to have children, they are like in the real world: "mom play with me... mom do you have a gift for me... mom I want money... mom can I keep this savage animal that I found in forest?" I swear to you Feb, we have a fox in house!
I know that, nice to hear its update. I can't do that in my current game. I am already there, would be a mess. Sofie from windhelm I always give her a home. I know - the function from pool and bath, one thing for the player, another if npc's went in and you don't know that, you left and come back later, the game says they are somewhere else but they never went out of the pool and never got dressed up again. if you don't use it everyone is walking in with clothes/armor. I like Solstice Castle where I am at the moment. it's my favorite castle not too big and the trees. the pool is very nice but a problem at the same time. I still like that place.
About the " Noble Skyrim " mods mentionned in the video is there a Heartfire category or is it in the Main Cities / Small towns and Villages category ? I have Noble Skyrim for Dawnguard DLC and Dungeons ( about Dungeons i have also a mod which expanded explorations in a real labyrinthic way for Bleak Falls Barrow , White River Watch , Ustengray for examples )
Im looking to revamp my lakeview manor with mods. But im doing a viking style true nord warrior character aaaaaand.....this home doesnt go i think. Shame coz its quite cool. And you did do another spectacular video showcasing it. Maybe if i ever did a high elf character this place would fit very well.
@@FebrithDarkstar yeh it looks good but you also did a really good quality showcase too. I like how you always pay attention to the details and give us a really good at every corner and every feature properly. Helps us get a really good feel for what a place is like.
I'd like to know what mod do you use for butterflies? I use CACO myself and there is plenty of insects but I've never seen Kynareth Moth. Cool video btw. I like your channel.
Hi nice Video:) but sorry:/ i have a question When I try to install this version, the stairs glit for me and the house looks like the standard house from the outside and you probably have a solution in no other way?
That's strange - I've had this three times now and each time it's behaved properly. I wonder if you followed the instructions fully or maybe you have a mod conflict?
I know that there is a mod for having 4 kids beds. However, I can't seem to locate it. If you could please help me out. This is without a doubt. My favorite house mod.
Your Skyrim & all your bids are excellent. Please 🙏 tell me you work for audible books in fantasy & mythical section....your voice , telling tales of heroes & heroine's in mythical lands & all their adventures.....yep I'll sign up for that. Thank you 👍😁
Kk this might be a really stupid question but which 2 chests are u supposed to build there are 3 in the options a long chest a regular chest & a kids chest. I just don't want to build the wrong one. & it doesn't specify which 2 u are supposed to build.🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hehe nice one, ive got it installed since the 25th of June last year. :) But i just used the Hotbath and Pool without the Fence and guards and that, completely forgot about the other version, so that got changed.^^ Thx Feb, as always. :) And WTF why has Inigo new clothes now? ;)
Hello Feb! I'm sorry to bother you with this message, I don't want it to sound like a spam XD But since I have no idea where I could ask you, I wanted to know if you'd like to test a home I'm working on... I still have to work on it for quite some time (maybe weeks). I would love if someone could give me a feedback before uploading it, so I could fix errors in time!
Lakeview has always been my favourite vanilla homes but this takes it to the next level
Yeh for sure:)
What a wonderfully cozy home! It feels lived-in in the best possible way. Sometimes, you enter a house and it feels cold/austere, but not this place. I love it. Thanks for sharing, Feb!
So true and my pleasure;)

Oh nice!:)
Seems like the mod author is a top notch interior designer in real life. Anyway thanks for this showcase.💓
Definitely - and you're welcome:)
I hope the mod author ports this to Xbox! Looks like an amazing cozier house to play through.
I was pleasantly surprised by this mod. Not what I expected. Nicely done on the inside. Every room is like WOW.
Totally!
I fell in love with this house😍 After this video it became a must-have for my Skyrim❤️
Oh I totally get it - me too:)
Thank you. Another very enjoyable video. I'm sorry, I'm addicted on your calming voice. Excellent.
Aww thanks;)
What a fabulous home! It is beyond beautiful! I love the dwemer tardis it adds class!
I totally agree!
What a gorgeous home, a superb upgrade to the stock Lakeview Manor!
A wonderful video, with your warm melodic voice making for a relaxing tour through this beautiful home.

I built a house, and then build a Japanese small village on my property with hot tub house tea house two-story pagoda style, sauna building, Japanese gazebo, and garden shed, all in a Zen garden with a homemade pool with a Koi pond liner all with decks except for the sauna and shed, and all with metal bowed Japanese roofs. I don’t show them on my videos. I live in my hobbit building now because it’s cheaper and old world. Do you have a Facebook page I could connect with because I could show you the pictures if you like and we could chat. About the hobbit house, the outside is still a work in progress and it’s more like a construction zone, but it is a work in progress especially with everything going on and I’m working on it by myself. I will show you in a video what it looks like outside. Oh yes and I almost forgot I go by Brad. It’s great to know you all. I love your channel and the way you go about things and I definitely would like to do some herbal alchemy experiments on my channel but it’s winter time turning to spring and herbs are hard to find but I have a few tricks up my sleeve. I’ll send a few shout outs to you on the next few videos I do to advertise for your channel for you because people need to watch your channel if they like to relax and you have great content. Look forward to talking to you again and take care my friend.
I'm not sure when I tried this mod, but I know I tried a Lakeview As It Should Be mod, and I'm not even certain it was the same author or not. The upstairs was okay, but the main issue was downstairs in the smith area, there was this horrendous seam in the wall that you could physically get stuck behind, and it looked like a wall that was running through the forge itself. It may have been a conflict with Hearthfire Extended, I may not have done something right, but it happened both times I used it, so I gave up on it. I can't try this out again until I start a new game, because I already built Lakeview.
Aaah ok, myu problem was the dining table but other than that it was AMAZING!:)
Another great video Feb. I just love the way you show these homes, never even bother with other reviews. I never adobt so I don't use these homes, but I like this much better than v.1 for sure.
Have you ever taken a look at Dev Aveza - Tissendel's Interior SE ?
It's an interior enhancement mod with optional exterior modification to fit outside with the inside better. It has plenty of options for different character types and I saw in the comments that with a little work it can be made to work with LotD as well. I found it by accident when looking at Dev Aveza updates for LotD version. I came to see if you had made a video about it but couldn't find one, guess I'll have to test it myself first this time. I just made a character that it would be perfect for, especially if I can make it work with LotD.
Aah yeh when I did my Dev Aveza video for LotD I did try Tissendel's interior but couldn't make it show up - I was sooo disappointed as it looks bomb.
@@FebrithDarkstar Yeah, it's a shame. I had to get rid of LotD. But OMG the trade off was worth it, it's perfect. Unfortunately Inigo doesn't like going in the hull, but that's his choice. 😅 You should review it as standalone Dev Aveza mod, not everyone is that keen on LotD.
Oh, and it's an interactive home. Not gonna say more of that, but I bet you'd find it offers more than the description says on it.
This is my favorite home!
Lol it's a gorgeous one:)
First off love your house reviews been a long time follower of your channel. I do have a question and perhaps you answered it and I missed it, what are the robes that indigo is wearing? If you can remember.
Thanks so much! And sure it's this one: www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/37589
Those two trees are called Mountain Ash. The flowers will turn to red berries in real life.
11:56 Eyebread looks like a [[ *_DELICIOUS_* ]] blend of Eggy-In-The-Basket _and_ Breadbowl Soup❣️😋😋😋😋
I always loved my house, but this.. oh my goodness!! I love it so much!! 😭😭❤️❤️❤️
For my taste it's the best I ever saw for Lakeview:)
Totally love this home! Wow!!!
I love this mod I have used it last 2 plays and find it hilarious that Indigo either steals the stewards bed and forces the steward and bard to bunk up or takes over the bards room if I haven't hired a bard yet, when I tell him to make himself at home he certainly does. : )
Yeh, he's got it going on :D
I adore your accent!
Where are you from?
It's so calming, precise, and beautiful.
Also, what are you playing on?
Edit: Definitely subscribed btw.
Hi Jozer, I'm from Yorkshire in England and I play on PC - my whole channel is PC based - and welcome!;)
Hi Feb!! I don't know if you're still answering comments on this vid or not.
Are there mods similar to this for the other Hearthfire homes? I have looked sevral times and can't find any.
I have already built Lakeview, so I don't want to mess with it, but I would like to change the interiors on the other two homes.
Help!!
Thank you so much for what you do, and I love listening to you talk. You do an excellent job covering the homes as well, whether they're inside or outside mods.
God bless hun and have a great week ahead!!
OH, I found out why Inigo doesn't like Windhelm! It's a rather sad, scary story from Inigo's past, if you're interested. ;-)
Not similar to this - no:( If only! I was looking for one as gorgeous and detailed as this but as far as I know there isn't one yet. And aaah yes poor Inigo, he had a terrible time before hooking up with us!
@@FebrithDarkstar Thanks for checking Feb! Do you have any clout with this Mod author, or even another one, so that interiors for the other two could be substituted for the vanilla versions (which really are sad)
No wonder Inigo carries Mr. Dragonfly with him everywhere he goes. Could you imagine not remembering what it was like to be human, so much so that you would rather stay as a dragonfly?
How sad!
@@leneecasteel2005 Lol err no clout at all:) There are mods for the other Hearthfire homes but (to my taste and obviously yours!) nothing compares to this one!
Wowee...this mod stays in my load order ..i hope the one planter on the palmtree deck got fixed lol,oh that sounded horrible lol..love it,simple touch i love there is a drawer in the smithy for your blacksmith clothes n shoes
Yeh it's so cool:)
Those trees replacing the palms look like Ficus benjamina a bit
Very nice mod. Thanks Febrith
You are right to hesitate to have children, they are like in the real world: "mom play with me... mom do you have a gift for me... mom I want money... mom can I keep this savage animal that I found in forest?" I swear to you Feb, we have a fox in house!
LOL - yeh it's a bit overwhelming eh? Tbh I prefer pets to people /grin
@@FebrithDarkstar pets AND Flowers!
@@FebrithDarkstar while my adolescence my best friend was a cat and I'm not ashamed to say it
@@crazykittenlady Yes
@@crazykittenlady All my best friends these days are our cats!:)
wow gorgeous, thank you
Thank you! 😊
I know that, nice to hear its update. I can't do that in my current game. I am already there, would be a mess. Sofie from windhelm I always give her a home.
I know - the function from pool and bath, one thing for the player, another if npc's went in and you don't know that, you left and come back later, the game says they are somewhere else but they never went out of the pool and never got dressed up again. if you don't use it everyone is walking in with clothes/armor. I like Solstice Castle where I am at the moment. it's my favorite castle not too big and the trees. the pool is very nice but a problem at the same time. I still like that place.
Yeh that's a perfect castle for me too - gorgeous place.
Is there one that replaces the stucco with wood and works with Draco's improved Lakeview?
Oh, the eyebreads are from Waterview (or one of her others that add the Bruma food).
Aah cool I lose track easily:)
As it should be is right! This is a great improvement to the basic home in hearthfire. Too bad it's not on ps4.
Looks like the chameleon device is still busted on the T.A.R.D.I.S
:XD
About the " Noble Skyrim " mods mentionned in the video is there a Heartfire category or is it in the Main Cities / Small towns and Villages category ? I have Noble Skyrim for Dawnguard DLC and Dungeons ( about Dungeons i have also a mod which expanded explorations in a real labyrinthic way for Bleak Falls Barrow , White River Watch , Ustengray for examples )
This is what I use: www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/21423
Im looking to revamp my lakeview manor with mods. But im doing a viking style true nord warrior character aaaaaand.....this home doesnt go i think. Shame coz its quite cool. And you did do another spectacular video showcasing it.
Maybe if i ever did a high elf character this place would fit very well.
Aaa yeh maybe not for the nord warrior so much, it's quite refined this place but I love it to bits!
@@FebrithDarkstar yeh it looks good but you also did a really good quality showcase too. I like how you always pay attention to the details and give us a really good at every corner and every feature properly. Helps us get a really good feel for what a place is like.
16:24 diagon alley!
Yes!:)
Sorry I meant Vids not bids oops
Lovely mod and excellent review! I hope it gets rid of that ridiculous necromancer! LOL
Thanks! I honestly can't remember if it does or not, sorry! I'll have to check next time I'm in game as I still have this one installed:)
I dunno, I kind of like the necromancer,,,sort of like a magical guard dog keeping the riff raff moving on down the road☺️😏😉
Love the giant apple! 😂
I'd like to know what mod do you use for butterflies? I use CACO myself and there is plenty of insects but I've never seen Kynareth Moth.
Cool video btw. I like your channel.
Thanks:) This one:- www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/32691
I want this mod on ps5 ?
Hi nice Video:) but sorry:/ i have a question When I try to install this version, the stairs glit for me and the house looks like the standard house from the outside and you probably have a solution in no other way?
That's strange - I've had this three times now and each time it's behaved properly. I wonder if you followed the instructions fully or maybe you have a mod conflict?
@@FebrithDarkstar i think your right, thank you i Go to unistall the Other mods :)
I saw a dagger under the pillow in bedroom next too bathroom under the stairs...is this ok?
Lol - probably sensible!
Maybe XD
@@drediakal6155 I keep a dagger under my pillow 😏
@@stormym5434 ;)
I know that there is a mod for having 4 kids beds. However, I can't seem to locate it. If you could please help me out. This is without a doubt. My favorite house mod.
If you haven't tried Lakeview extended give it look over.
Yes it's a great one - it's probably in my "Better Vanilla Homes" playlist
didnt the previous one have that horrendous wall paper ?
I don't remember any horrendous wallpaper - just an abstract painting in the bathroom - which has now gone!
i know it’s unrelated, but where is that little kynareth’s moth from? it’s really pretty!
I think that's one of Mentha's from her mod: www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/32691
Your Skyrim & all your bids are excellent. Please 🙏 tell me you work for audible books in fantasy & mythical section....your voice , telling tales of heroes & heroine's in mythical lands & all their adventures.....yep I'll sign up for that. Thank you 👍😁
Awww I wish I did James
Kk this might be a really stupid question but which 2 chests are u supposed to build there are 3 in the options a long chest a regular chest & a kids chest. I just don't want to build the wrong one. & it doesn't specify which 2 u are supposed to build.🤣🤣🤣🤣
Feb is the log cabin look Noble Skyrim or this mod? I never liked the stucco looking walls.
Yeh it's Noble Skyrim Will
Hehe nice one, ive got it installed since the 25th of June last year. :)
But i just used the Hotbath and Pool without the Fence and guards and that, completely forgot about the other version, so that got changed.^^
Thx Feb, as always. :)
And WTF why has Inigo new clothes now? ;)
LOL zomg:)
Is this mod stable on Xbox one X? It looks beautiful! I’d love it
Sorry Sam, I've no idea if this is available for X-Box or if it is if it's stable
Hello Feb! I'm sorry to bother you with this message, I don't want it to sound like a spam XD But since I have no idea where I could ask you, I wanted to know if you'd like to test a home I'm working on... I still have to work on it for quite some time (maybe weeks). I would love if someone could give me a feedback before uploading it, so I could fix errors in time!
For sure hon, email at febryth@googlemail.com
Need it on xbox, pretty, pretty please...🥺
