Warmstone of Windhelm redo

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.

Valkyrie Svinhilde Follower

Valkyrie Svinhilde Follower by IheartRunningman is kind of interesting in that she has not one but two transformations– from ordinary lady into a Nordic hero… into a Valkyrie. There are plenty of modded NPCs that have one transformation but not so  many that have two.

And– of course I don’t have the picture of her as an ordinary lady. But she is. The armored bikini does not come out until she’s in combat.

Arclite Community College–College of Winterhold Wrap-up Party

It’s time for our students to say goodbye to Arclite as it’s finally the end-of-term.

Ah, Cyrelian has a question.

Of course he does. It’s not like we’re waiting to get started eating or anything.

What is it?!

He says it’s raining pretty good out there and it’s getting kind of dark and– do we really have to stick around for this thing?

Sigh.

You know what that means– everyone else wants to go home early now too.

You know, that’s really kind of rude, it looks like Professor Marance went to some trouble, and–

Marcus beat me to it–

Well, Cyr got told.

Marcus is right, it wouldn’t kill everyone to grab a bite and hang around for a few minutes. The food looks pretty good…

Come on, you don’t want Professor Marance to feel bad, do you?

So yeah, everybody ended up staying… and it ended up being a pretty good time.

At least, as good a time as you can have in the Aether Suite without being intoxicated.

I think Professor Marance is just as grateful to leave this place behind as the rest of us. I think she’s going to be keeping that spiffy little cardigan, though.
