Vandfald Cottage - Skyrim/Special Edition House Mod

[@antony1751]

“Who’s died this time?” 😂 I hate the courier...I had a modded player house in cold harbor and he still had the gall to stop me in my kitchen

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Lol omg!

[@phatbassanchor]

@@FebrithDarkstar Since I started using two mods I'm about to suggest I have only received one inheritance letter and that one could've/should've been avoided. The two mods are these... Run For Your Lives by Arthmoor www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2272 Dawnguard Sentries Plus SE by rms827 www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/13547 RFYL makes civilians run home during town attacks so you don't have unarmored shop keepers waving their tiny iron dagger at the master vampire. Nearly 100% effective. I lost Lucan in one play because we were battling a dragon all night and a master vampire slipped in just before dawn to attack. He got his free meal from Lucan... RIP Lucan. But, I stuck an arrow in yon vampiric maw before he could make his escape. That was the only inheritance letter I've received since installing that mod over two years ago. Dawnguard Sentries adds DG soldiers in nearly all cities and towns as well as traveling road patrols. They reinforce the city/town guards during all attacks. They are a mix of Dawnguard and Vigilant male and female npc's from every race. Isran is an equal opportunity employer after all

@@phatbassanchor Thanks for sharing those mods sound right up my alley.

[@TravellerHD]

This will always be one of my favorites. I love cozy medium-size houses that are packed with detail yet not overly cluttered.

[@lizzybee75]

Lovely home, cool that you can change the kids beds to followers individually, usually it changes them all so you can only have one or the other, that was a thoughtful addition for people who might want a bit of both

[@antiquegeek]

First off I have to express my appreciation to modders who revisit their builds and keep adding and improving. It is nice when they are generous and share with others to mod but it is neat to see the continuity in creation by modders who stay connected to their mods and the people who use them. You still see the hand of the original creator in the mod no matter how much it evolves. This one is so perfect where it is. It really has that "just right" Goldilocks feel to it. Second off I want to express my appreciation to you, Feb, for revisiting the evolving mods so we can get the latest on what great work is being done. I know I tend to get complacent and miss out on mod improvements and could be playing mods far out of date or missing out on a newly improved mod that I had passed by in a previous iteration. Reading mod descriptions cannot compare to a tour and a "wadda ya think?" from Feb. Third off I find the courier seems to act like he owns the place. Sometimes it feels like walking into your kitchen and finding your post mail carrier making themselves a sandwich and flicking through the channels on the telly.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

I really hadn't appreciated just how much she'd added - I agree with you completely, it's wonderful that people continue to work and improve on their mods. - Also, agree about the cheeky courier!

[@dovahkiinathay3421]

Ohh I'm so happy to see Vandfald revisited!

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Hey Thay! I had no idea you'd done so much more - it's awesome, thank you

[@GreenGrasshoppa]

I've just "moved in" today. It's literally the most beautiful home I've ever had in Skyrim. Inigo, Sophie, Blaise and I couldn't be happier. 😉

[@denniswade4998]

Wow! This house is almost exactly what I dream of for my house in the "real" world! It has everything I would want. I could see myself spending many hours in the tree house reading and contemplating!

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Oh totally:)

[@YourWaywardDestiny]

Could you imagine a little tree house in Kynesgrove high up with a view of Windhelm, it'd be a stunning place to stop off and drop your valuables to pretend to be a kid again.

[@phatbassanchor]

Amazing upgrades here!

[@FebrithDarkstar]

No problem - already video'd it last night:)

[@phatbassanchor]

@@FebrithDarkstar Glad you found it

[@RestlessHarp]

Wow. This is gorgeous! I love all the plantable soils, that greenhouse, the lanterns hanging at different levels, the treehouse! (I always wanted one as a kid too and never had one!) and just everything. It looks beautiful and comfortable.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Yes exactly:) We should form a support group for those of us deprived of treehouses!

[@RestlessHarp]

@@FebrithDarkstar We should! The treehouse-deprived support group :D

Your videos always give me the most joy 🥰 best channel for calming experience and at the same time finding your perfect Skyrim home

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Thanks so much:)

[@jimmiegoatcher4179]

Love the videos

[@morgielastname7364]

Wow, really beautiful! I really like the feel of the downstairs office/library/trophy room. Not overwhelming to fill, and you could sit at your desk while surrounded by your special things! And yes, I totally saw hands as well!

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Lol glad it wasn't just me!

[@Rhaevyn13]

Just WOW! OMG Febrith (I love that name it's so gentle and elven) this place is perfect. I am going through all your mods, watching your great presentations of these amazing homes and each one I keep saying "this is the one," and... then I watch another video. OMG, my SSE is going to implode at this point.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

LOL - I know exactly what you mean:)

[@MichaelButchin]

I love that all the workspaces are not all crammed together, but placed in "logical" areas in and around the home. And it's not a TARDIS home! I'mma download this one.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

\o/

[@acecerberus8230]

Love that you kept finding plantable soils throughout the showcase!! Love them! Very nice; thanks.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

It's better than finding gold!:)

[@zoemichele6108]

Feb you should check out simply bigger trees. It makes your landscape so much lusher and fuller. I can’t play without it now

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Thanks Zoe:)

[@Ivimni]

The house Reviews and showcases on this channel are so helpful, thanks Febrith.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Aww thanks Dot:)

[@Boethya]

I'm feeling low spirited today, so trust me when I say that this soothing video really helps

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Lol glad it's not just me who does that:) I don't want to spoil it for myself so I try not to, but then I trip up sometimes:)

[@RedOrm68]

Fun fact: "Vandfald" literally means waterfall in Danish. So Waterfall cottage.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Oh that's cool:)

[@WolfkinNorthclaw]

There is an activator button on the shelving before you go up the stairs. This entire home is lovely! I love it very much beautiful place to be sure nothing really to fix here I'd say.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Aaah cool thanks! And I totally agree, it's wonderful as it is:)

[@WolfkinNorthclaw]

@@FebrithDarkstar That activator on the shelving makes me want the home all be it's self makes me want to know what it does.

[@delvorin1841]

Thanks for the mod review Febrith

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Any time!

[@nexielle]

Okay... I've been converted... I love Riverwood houses now. There are so many nice ones! :') Also that rose-laden hanging moss mod you have really does something for how the world looks... I might have to look into that. I remember the name of the mod from one of your previous videos. It's too pretty!

[@FebrithDarkstar]

It really looks so wonderful in these sort of locations:)

[@madcow1888]

lovely quaint place, really like it

[@spoonends6687]

A house for a wood elf or a archer very nice home ty

[@nancyarris2201]

I installed this mod right after I viewed this video I love it, the only critique I would say is the lanterns along the front walkway are a little low and I bump into them when I walk in, other than that I absolutely adore this mod and Inigo also loves it. I have Leaf Rest across the river and have found no clashes except there is a seam in the water, nothing I can't live with. I have the whole section of river now!

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Lol she owns Riverwood - well, the best parts anyway:)

[@Feralbyrd]

Hey Feb, you should totally check out Sindora's Hidden Hearth if you haven't already. Just posted on Nexus, but I saw the screenshots and thought it was right up your alley. I know I'll be downloading asap

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Hey Faryl - already on it, I've been waiting all weekend for this!:)

[@queencioch160]

Yeah I found this updated version awhile ago and I just love it

[@entenigelpfau]

Really superbly improved! She (the Author) thought about everything, even a hot water solution for the washing bowl! ..but not a toillette :( I love it when mod authors think like enginneers to create something that makes and has sense! On the other hand, i never understand how they manage NOT to integrate the most obvious things a humanoid creature needs essentially as a basis to live somewhere ..Arrrghhh! If you dont want to have your own toillette, you maybe could dig a tunnel right into the "Sleeping Giant" to use their toillettes there - Delphines privat "throne" for example ;) She´d be okay with that, i guess ;) *hahaha Back to the seriouis side of live.. Honestly, a toillette is a MUST HAVE in every house! ..guess you call this "Immersion"

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Yeh I'm a big bathroom fan too:)

[@absentmindedalchemist8496]

Adorable, just adorable 🥰

[@pauldunlop1660]

Dilemma, I've now got to choose between this delightful mod and unique locations- Riverwood forest...maybe it's time for a change.

It's a constant battle:)

[@pauldunlop1660]

[@ASavageEye]

This is very nice indeed but that spot is already taken by soo many house mods. Eli's tiny little shack is right there too and I just cant give that up, Faendal lives there and it would make him homeless if I got rid of it lol Also Feb you need to check out Sindora's Hidden Hearth, its new and its right up your alley

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Already done Michael - watch out for tomorrow:)

[@Farlynge]

"Vandfald" = Danish word for waterfall. Just a fun-fact. :)

[@Hal_Evergreen]

What a lovely home with a gorgeous yard! I'm definitely going to have to use it as my main player home on some future playthrough. Couple of questions for you: 1. What water mod(s) are you using? I love the turquoise shade of your river water. 2. Have you ever used the Inconsequential Pets SE mod on Nexus? It's not a house mod, of course, but it seems like the sort of mod you'd find charming, since you always have a little animal follower with you.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Hey Hannah I use Realistic Water Two and no I never have - though I might do now - I use Pets Kindgom from time to time but I'm always happy to try new animal mods!:)
