Warmstone of Windhelm (Hostel Edition) by sa547 is one of my favorite house mods of all, not least because it’s pretty easy to come up with an RP reason why you get to stay there. It’s a 5g/night bed-and-breakfast; half-price for children and the infirm.
It has a big common room with a bar, sitting room, and dining area. There’s a full kitchen, some storage areas, and a restroom. Off to the side is one of the best crafting rooms that I’ve ever seen. Upstairs is the master bedroom and a door to the outdoor balcony overlooking Windhelm’s market… and up from there is a little reading nook with aedric shrines.
The basement is where the hostel is located– one semi-private room and a bunkhouse, and a lavish little bathhouse.
There are also at least three secret places in this house: a nook in the crafting room with weapons racks; a spot up in the rafters with safes and racks; and a secret back door with a few storage things and a shrine to Nocturnal.
The one criticism that I’ve ever had of this place is that, as it’s decorated with loose clutter, when I fill the home up with NPCs, they tend to knock things around until it’s a disaster zone.
So I decided to redecorate with static clutter, trying to keep with the overall theme of the original decor. I also altered two of the secret places thus far: one is an easily-hidden Talos shrine and another’s now serving as the upstairs privy.
Here’s the result:
Wait– who’s the mage with the glasses?
That’s Octavian Dawnseeker… he’s from the College. Cyr says they’ve got a project to work on over break.
Assets that I used in the redo came from Oarstys, Jokerine, and orin_linwe.
