EEK's Dragonsreach & Dovahsreach - Skyrim Special Edition Overhaul & House Mod

[@gabriellemartin3572]

Feb, promise you’ll revisit this when it’s all filled up? I definitely think you should use it as new-Feb’s main base. Also, I’d be happy to add soils and move the bathroom so you can small flowers instead of poo, lol.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Oh that would be so cool - yes please - and thank you

[@pauldunlop1660]

Love EEK's mods, Dragonsreach now oozing wealth and power as befitting the trade centre of Skyrim and amazing quarters of your own. But I did have to laugh at Inigo using the thunder bucket behind the bed!

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Yeh he just loves to embarrass me:D

[@Kinnikki]

Cracked up at Inigo on the throne. It was hilarious!

[@acecerberus8230]

Love the Dragonsreach overhaul. Regarding the player home, the displaying of the player's own items really makes so much sense! Love that option. Initially, I did not care for this place, but all the "so cool" crafting, and other unique options means it's growing on me! Great video, thanks.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Yeh, I think that's one of the outstanding features :)

[@str33t3r]

This is a must have!!! I never knew this existed and Ive been on the nexus for about 5 years now.. This video is 3 years old and still drawing attention to mods, proving Feb, your hard work pays off.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Glad I could help!

[@phatbassanchor]

Ever so pleasant to hear your exuberant reactions today dear Feb

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Hehe - I hope so! And you know every now and again there are mods that just hit you right between the eyes. EEK has done that twice to me now with their Whiterun Interiors and now this. I just can't imagine living without them now!

[@phatbassanchor]

@@FebrithDarkstar It's great to see you happy

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Aww thanks:)

[@gabriellemartin3572]

I feel like I need to personally message EEK to rave about this home. He took assets from a greenhouse resources and! made! them! windows! SO clever. Exterior homes are tricksy for a number of reasons (they plummet FPS for instance), but this is phenomenal. 360 views, interactive features, and a kitschy and eclectic feel? I’m in.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Lol I totally get it - credit where it's due, this place is freaking awesome lol:)

[@Mysterialic]

Whoa, that is simply majestic!

[@cgametheory1423]

Absolutely Grand Mansion this one! One of the only things missing really is the themed inter-dimensional magical rooms of one of the old dwellings you did quite a while ago (I can’t recall the name,) one of the rooms in that old dwelling was one of infinite sweet rolls but that was the least glorious of the magical themed inter-dimensional rooms in that beautiful dwelling. Another thing missing perhaps is that there are no magical fairytale dramas playing out in the house by occupants and guests and spirits, but I guess that is hard to script very well in Skyrim, perhaps in the next Elder Scrolls Game it will be easier to script complex fantastic events in dwellings and elsewhere. This current Grand Mansion Of Dragonsreach and Dovahsreach is one of the most luxurious you have showcased, beautiful in very many ways inside and the outside of the house too. Thanks yet again Febrith Darkstar for a great video.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

You'rew elcome - glad you enjoyed it;)

[@luanllluan]

Everything's so beautiful!!! As people say, Bethesda just needs to release the game and the fans will do the rest xD

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Lol it really seems like it!

[@alexhall6023]

its looks so cozy! Thanks Feb❤

[@FebrithDarkstar]

You're welcome 😊

[@PapaMidnite56]

Great review. Would love to see it after it’s lived in a bit. Don’t have the PC version so I live vicariously thru you lol.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Lol awww well you're the second person to ask so I will definitely revisit it and update later:)

[@GaminGawdess]

I was actually at a loss for words (which is never me) seeing this mod! A pimped out spectacular palace with a decadent spider Chucky maker.... ha ha ha oh I am so moving in!!!🙌🏾

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Lol - yeh I know exactly what you mean - I really want more player homes and overhauls from this creator!:)

[@linnettepeach5732]

So Beautiful love how it's a build as you go.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

It really is!

[@RUGrimm-fv5if]

I have been watching and loving your content for a few years now. I know you love your cute and/or animal mods, so I thought I'd throw in a recommendation for "Hashire." It's the best horse/mount mod I've encountered for any game, and I always highly recommend it 🙏 Combining it with "Real Horse Breeds" and the "Horse Armors" mods makes it 1,000,000x better. I just recommend messing with it, of you haven't already. As always, love, another beautiful showcase ❤ Your voice is so nice to listen to, and I generally listen to your videos on my phone in the background while I play Skyrim.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Aww thank you - both for the recommendations and for the kind comment:)

[@stephaniejacobs1267]

Yes, looks like an artists loft❣👍🥰

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Definitely, it's so lovely:)

[@TheFuronMothership]

Puts me in mind of Armery Manor and Mona Alta in several ways. Shame it's not for Xbox though. This would get me to live in Whiterun in a heartbeat!

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Aaah yeh I can see why you'd say that - there are some similarities in the sumptuousness of the decoration for sure:)

[@highfive7689]

Dovahsreach is a Skyrim version of loft Apartment you would find in the 20-ish century. Really nice too, I love the height of it with real windows - you can see everything below!!!! It reminds of the Wolf tower in Solitude, love that place, But this one is much more roomier. It even has wicker furniture, lol. By the way what is Skyrim's thing with spiders and using them?! I've never used anything with them in it! Oh, Question, Feb - will you drop your items at the Dragon museum like last time, or use this home? I'm in the process of starting a new game but this time I'll not use the museum as my central item deposit. I'm going to pick a nice estate and place them there. I really want to see a well represented display hall in my central "home". XOXO from the far side of the Worlds, Feb!

[@FebrithDarkstar]

/waves High Five - yeh I don't think I'll be displaying at the Dragonborn Museum this time - I've just built my own Breezehome again so I'm toying with that or Dovahsreach - it's so hard to make a decision!

[@zoemichele6108]

okay hear me out. I know you hate positioners Feb but I found something I think you could really enjoy. Blessingwindwalker on the nexus has some empty homes that you can download and decorate yourself. I have Jaxon's positioner, furnishings, and renamer, and I am having a lot of fun with it. There is also Home Construction and decoration, which has a bunch of furnishings you can buy from a trader. That one also lets you build houses anywhere but I have always had issues with it whenever I try to use it. the furnishing mods and the positioner have been coming in handy having my own Inigo, I can just place a bed in a modded house that doesn't already have one for him. Just maybe something to look into

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Ok that all sounds very cool - thanks Zoe:)

[@rockytophomesteadjamiemere1008]

Wow! Love it!

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Totally agree!

[@DarkLordMobi]

i heard about a mod that you will love its called Skyrim holidays for Skyrim and se

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Thank you! I came across that when I did a whole bunch of Christmas-themed mods at the end of last year - very cool:)

[@MyHentaiGirl]

I hate it It keep throwing random pumpkin skeleton at me, those little shit take more dmg and very very annoying

[@CREATURES59]

Where Farengar sleeps if the door of his bedroom is " broken " ? This mod can't be used AT ALL with several mods about magical spells added in his left backroom and also alterates the right side of his desk when arriving from the large stairs after crossing the whole city ( " Arcanum - A New Age of Magic " AND " Instant Death Spells " )

[@Natsumi4709]

Now I'm trying to figure out how to make my own player home mod. Want to try my hand at making an improved Proudspire but can't figure out the creation kit. :/

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Darkfox seems to be the go-to dude for tutorials, plus he's an awesome mod creator so I'd definitely check him out

[@jimmac69]

Wow!! Most people have a few skeletons in their closet. You got draugr!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Lmao!;)

[@jaderiver2905]

it is nice decorated, but he should've left the middle fire pit original size for a place so big o.O great video tho thanks feb

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Well I'm less likely to fall in it and singe my tail so that's all good:)

[@jaderiver2905]

@@FebrithDarkstar LOL yeah, I mean who'd want to singe their tail feathers XD ... =D

[@Noneyobusiness851]

I really really really like this one please tell me it's available on the Xbox One x I really hope it is so I can find out if it's compatible with my favorite whiterun mod (The Way of the Nord) I feel confident that they might work together since I'm fairly certain that the way of the Nord does not change the actual dragons reach building fingers crossed.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Oooh I don't know, you'd need to check on Beth - fingers crossed for you!

[@AnimeVampireFanGirl]

Love the bed 💞 so romantic hehe Would be nice if the bath fits two people hehe

[@seekthtruth]

I know this is an old video but I wanted to try this place out. Nothing displays for me though? Did it ever work for you? I put my items in and they dont show up

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Oh what a shame I didn't have any trouble at the time I had these.

[@steezy4_k]

Hi Febrith im confused on the download page. Did you download 'EEKsDR - EEKsBWR - JKsWR '?

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Nope just the first file!

Always loved eek's whiterun add-ons But beside that, Your skyrim is so nice, but then I see your guards and there vanilla uniform 😭

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Yeh in some playthroughs I've given them different armours that have been recommended to me but not in that one at that point:)

[@valhallasshelf]

Where do you find what you need for the npc mannequins..i cant find a list of necessary items

[@FebrithDarkstar]

If it's not on the mod description page then perhaps there isn't one?!

[@valhallasshelf]

@@FebrithDarkstar ..lol,yeah theres an activate Brynolf mannequin in when you go to activate he talks and stuff I don't know if I'm supposed to kill him steal his armor or what haaaa,ok thnks

[@bellasaridesigns]

Ok how did you get this to work? I had all the correct mods, checked the order, everything. Had HUGE holes all over Whiterun. Dragonsreach had no interior walls. Market had no floor. Purple textures everywhere. Started a new game last month just to try this out and so heartbreaking!

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Aaah yeh that happened to me (well a big hole at Whiterun market) when I tried the full Whiterun edition. But if you just install the separate Interiors file and the Dragonsreach and Dovahsreach file then they work just fine together. My mod starting list is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKeyYXqDeduqbNk so you can see what else I had when I installed this.

[@BionicleJackson]

More beautiful work from a mod author known for beautiful work. You know it's good when fussy cat still loves it despite the lack of plantables and a bowl of bodily business conveniently located right next to the bed...and yes we all noticed how you followed Inigo right on in there, not rude at all. My only critique of negativity aside from the bathroom locale is the sense that whomever lives here must be of greater stature than the Jarl himself, I mean you posses the highest point in the hold. I just find that a bit presumptuous and pretentious from an immersion perspective, doesn't mean I don't like it though.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

LOL @ "fussy cat" :D And it was only to show you where to pick up the teleport spell! You make a good point about it being up above the Jarl, like we're superior or something - which, of course, we are. I'm Dragonborn and he's got a freaky kid so ..../shrug!

[@BionicleJackson]

@@FebrithDarkstar Yeah well I am not reaching in there to grab that now. Nope. I would also wager at your current level you only presume to be this so called "Dragonborn". I bet some guard probably told you you held such a title and you where like "Oh yeah, I think you may be right." or some such who hah, pfft says I, just a presumptuous, pretentious cute ball of fuzz I says... With the voice of an angel of coarse.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Lol - funnily enough it WAS a guard that told me! Also Inigo who is impressed that the Dragonborn is a Khajiit like himself. A presumptuous, pretentious cute ball of fuzz is one of the nicest things I've ever been called lol.

[@uselesspatheticnoob5241]

Feel somewhat awkward seeing mod creator name Eek mean "shit" in my language, just a slang though XD

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Lol awww!

[@zoemichele6108]

Does this clash at all with jks whiterun?

[@FebrithDarkstar]

See the comments page on the mod description - should work!

[@dionphillips4573]

Any idea if this is on console yet?

[@FebrithDarkstar]

I doubt it if you can't find it, many are PC only:(

[@entenigelpfau]

Hi Feb! It is a Brilliant Whiterun Overhaul ; there are some MAJOR ISSUES coming with this mod, though! Could you please mention these and / or offer a Solution for these, if you know about it, of course ;) Deleted Hearthfires Files wich needs to be corrected manually, missing Textures and so on ... The Bug-Section of the mod mentions many problems, the Posts Section of the mod mentions problems over problems! You released this Vid in 2020 ; today we have the year, 2022 and many things have changed. This mod today, only causes problems and the Author seems not to be interested in solving them (related to the Posts) Better not touching this mod, keep your fingers away from it, i only can advice everyone interested in downloading it! *no critics on your vid ;)

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Awww what a shame - I had no issues at all with it even with my ridic modified game - thanks for the info!

[@RobertVlcek]

Some mod authors put Bethesda to shame. So much so that the vanilla version looks like a lazy atempt they stopped working on midway through. Even for a game that was made ten years ago, compared to what is possible, it seems as if the producers said "stop, don't put zo much work into it, time is money - modders will do the rest"

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Lol - and true ^^

[@jarosh9612]

Just a shame that the Immersive Whiterun version is a compatibility nightmare for my favorite mods x_x Otherwise a wonderful mod.
