Top 5 Build Your Own Homes - Skyrim/Special Edition House Mods

[@pauldunlop1660]

I love these builds, doer uppers and even a hard won quest reward home. Its more immersive and feels like an achievement.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

I completely agree:)

[@rafie0354]

I would hire those mod authors to build my real life house 😂.and btw lakeview manor as it should be received an updated, now the vampire hidden room has been transformed and is now a part of the armoury.

[@jaderiver2905]

There a vamp room now, ? I must go have a look at that, just started a new playthrun with my girl being a vamp almost out of the box , thanks for the info Re Edited awwww " Q: How to gain access to the Vampire Room? A: NO LONGER AVAILABLE with v2.0.0 " latests edition is ver 2.p no vamp room anymore =( ahh well can always use jaxonz mod and make a copy of a coffin from somewhere and place it =p

[@DESYNC-47]

I’ knew lake view manor would make the cut. My favorite player home currently. Good vid as always feb.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Appreciate it!

[@unhodin]

Fellburg is for sure my fav of these. My only single gripe with it, is no named storage. I need named storage to help me stay organized otherwise I end up just tossing everything into random containers and loose things

[@steveg7368]

Thanks for introducing me to Fellburg and for the your "laugh", worth it for that alone.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Glad you enjoyed it! :D

[@highfive7689]

You're right, Feb. Dawnstar - true not much to do there. But a nice home, and I loved that the mannequins were locked up behind glass. Now I can sleep at night when I go in to rest after adventuring. And the Lake View is a sumptuous home with fantastic features in that place that would be great in the modern world log cabin setting. Another great Vid, thanks sharing it!

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Thank you:)

[@ricwilliams9922]

These mods bring the "play" into playing Skyrim. At the start of this playthrough I found myself chopping wood for LC's Noble House. I had almost no gold and had to stop occasionally to fight bears and bandits. The build needs lots of firewood and I set the camera so I could see Inigo watching, bobbing his head each time the ax came down. LOL Thanks for introducing me to this wonderful world!

[@FebrithDarkstar]

\o/ :XD

[@luanllluan]

Tel Nalta is my brother's fav home, glad to see it here. But LC is really something else, is so nice and great looking. I really like how it has both traditional and special features in the decoration, fantastic

[@FebrithDarkstar]

It really is!

[@fonzi55]

Think I’m gonna try and build riverside lodge on my next survival play through. Also would love to see a top 5 “collectors” home video one day!

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Thank you for the idea!:)

[@mattyt5605]

Building a new high fantasy based load order for my next playthrough. Loving a lot of your stuff but I think 3 or 4 of these will probably make my next list lol. Thanks!

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Have fun!

[@unhodin]

Hey Feb, any chance you could look at - "Sky Haven Temple - Interior Overhaul and Player Home" - the screenshots for it are real interesting and I havnt found any videos of others covering the home. (plus I feel Skyhaven is very...underused)

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Got a link for that one Throren? Not seeing it on the Nexus.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

@@unhodin I'll check it out:) Thanks for suggesting it and for the link:)

[@phatbassanchor]

I can certainly see why you you like these homes, dear Feb. I too have the pool add on for all three hearthfire homes. The Lakeview pool has such a lovely view of the lake and the grand rear entrance to Staadomaar Temple added by Helgen Reborn. On a clear day I can even see Asteria in the distance. Can you see Tel Nalta from there? I haven't had the best of luck with build your own home mods. Yet, after seeing your lovely video on Morskom Estate I think it's time to give it another go and try that home. It's taken me quite a while to warm to the idea again after a rather poor 2nd and 3rd play with Blackthorn Buildable Town in the Rift. My initial play of that mod was promising and enjoyable. Yet, subsequent attempts were plagued by bugs and glitches and I ultimately uninstalled the mod. I am also considering the Lakeview Manor As It Should Be mod for a future play as well. It has several features that I could live without. But, overall it's rather impressive and certainly feels like home. The palm trees must go though. XD Palm trees in Elsweyr, sure, but not in Falkreath, ever. LOL I hope you got my note that the final version of BocaJeff's Island has officially published now. He had planned for later in the week but when I requested an advance copy he simply published it. He really is amazing. I hope to be able to share more about his next home soon. He's already planning it out. I shared my ideas for a Dwemer keep style home on the cliff just west of Reachwind Eyrie. He has since gone out the the location, did some scouting and said the ideas just started to flow. So, I'm curious to see what he will do there. Thank you sincerely for all the lovely and entertaining video sweet Feb :) Adventure on, Phat

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Yes you can see Tel Nalta from the Lakeview pool extension - and even Dovahkiin's Island Retreat also:) They are off to the left obscured by a few trees but still viewable. Looking forward to what BocaJeff does next ofc:)

[@phatbassanchor]

@@FebrithDarkstar Sounds like I may need to adjust my render distance for screenshots then. All I see of the island from there is the tree trunk! :) Haha :)

[@gabriellemartin3572]

Feb, I have a confession. I’m loathe to admit it. *whispers* I don’t like “build your own” homes. All of the material collecting is so tedious! Orinlinwe has a cheat chest for all of his, which I happily use. I howled the first time I built Hermit Mountain Cottage and saw that he named the chest “cheat chest for cheating cheaters.” I could practically hear the “Shame” bell. Lakeview Manor as it Should Be is such a stunner, so much so that I might be willing to either collect or console command the materials this play through. If I do, expect a version with no palm trees and running water in your inbox, haha.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Omg the horror lol at not liking BYOs - I get it though, I know it's a royal pain if there's no cheat chest or you really wanna do it proper-like. Tel Nalta is the worst - mushrooms zomg!

[@dariankaltenbach8062]

Cheat chest for cheating cheaters Ahahaha

[@maury42]

Wow Tel Nalta is the mod of my dreams!!

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Yes it's truly gorgeous;)

[@RestlessHarp]

These are all so beautiful! I do love the build your own/ fixer uppers!

[@RestlessHarp]

Apparently I said that last time I watched this video, lol!

[@FebrithDarkstar]

@@RestlessHarp Lol at least you're consistent!

[@RestlessHarp]

@@FebrithDarkstar Lol, true! :D

[@DarkWillUser]

His face goes with your drapes, does it? LOL I love Fellburg. I am an adopter (I do the full 6 kids thanks to the Multiple Adoptions mod) and Fellburg has beds for each and every one of my little rug rats. Woohoo! You're right that it is definitely a job to build, gathering the needed supplies. So I admit I cheat a bit and use a cheat mod that adds a spell to conjure crafting materials specifically for when I play with mods like this one.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Oh I totally get it, the last time I built it I definitely conjured my materials lol!

[@DarkWillUser]

@@FebrithDarkstar and even with standing there making them appear magically in your inventory its still quite a task. "Hmmm, I need 50 quarry stones, 80 clay bricks, 100 firewood logs, 30 iron fittings, 18 nails, 60 pieces of straw..." Doing that for each set of materials and then all over again for each particular build project is still very time consuming! BUT it does make the very worthwhile end reward feel very much like you earned it yourself, and watching the village slowly pop up around you is a lot of fun.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Definitely - love it:)

[@RestlessHarp]

Great video! I do enjoy the building and/or restoring. These are beautiful!

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Glad you like them!

[@whitewolf7156]

@@FebrithDarkstar First: great video, your voice is soothing and makes this video even more nice to watch. Second: are these mods also for ps4? If not: could you let me know if there are nice homes for ps4, would really appreciate that. Keep up the good work

[@jackkk1779]

Amazing video as per Feb 👏 I’m not sure if you’ve reviewed it before but have you visited Firelight drift? It’s a darling little home that I’ve always been fond of.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Hi Jackkk, I think I did that one a long time ago but it's due a re-visit. From memory it's only on Beth so I'll check it out.

[@hazel8716]

I am a new comer to your channel and I love the videos you do. I tried looking at comments to see if someone asked the question is this PS4, but judging by how pretty it is it most likely is not an Xbox One you are using.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Hey Hazel welcome:) I'm sorry but I'm a PC channel so I've no idea about whether or not any mods are for anything other than PC.

[@jaderiver2905]

With morskam estate, in older versions it was quite fine my system handle it really well but his latest updated version my gaame will crash everytime trying to enter the basements s for some reason so I think he did things quite different this time =( loved that home , ahh well but on tel nata I had to laughg inigo standing there , I swear I could him saying " my frieeend ! make sure you get my good side " lololol also are you using a noble texture mod, Ive norticed in a lot of your videos yout wood looks simialr to something Ive'tried to use ?

[@BionicleJackson]

Lets try to comment again Verizon...(&$@!). ..Ahem... Great list. I never looked into Lakeview since coming back to Skyrim as my go to mod was pulled. Instead I figured I'd build a single room shack there and find a new modded home. What I found was your channel and homes all across the land, air and sea. Just getting started on Fellburg as The Scarlett is just about fully pimped ( just needs a goat, horse and a few more planters.) Then comes the BYO Dwemer town and the other Hearthfire homes... Courses Feb, I could be PLAYING Skyrim lol♥️

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Lol I feel like that too sometimes so I take a few days to myself to do just that:)

Well Oldrim has left for good, so the Riverside Lodge Redux completly goes out the window for me and in its place in SE is my beloved Peregrine Highwatch HFX, but apart from Tel Nalta, which i never got warm with, the other 3 were already in my loadorder...for good reason as one can see here. ;) Thx Feb as always, nice vid. :) Im just working on restoring good old Castle Gonduin Expanded, one of the few castles i really like, as it gets filled with some life, sits in a nice and reasonable spot in the gameworld and so on. It also comes with a quest to lift a curse and then you rebuild it. :) www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/8238?tab=description
