Whiterun Safehold - Skyrim Special Edition House Mod

[@securityranger773]

Finally a castle I can see myself in. Not too large and well appointed with just the right amount of features.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Totally:)

[@matteobonelli8442]

God, I love this mod author's works. Even tho I'm still waiting for a proper castle on the mountain in the middle of Whiterun tundra... Damn, why nobody thinks about that location? I think it would be the perfect place for the ultimate Dragonborn home: right in the middle of Skyrim, with the most gorgeous view, isolated but still close to everything, maybe with even a small village at the base of the mountain... Oh, how much would I LOVE that.

[@phatbassanchor]

Castle in WR tundra? Have you seen Dragons Keep by ToppDog? www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/271 Two player homes onsite, a school to which you may send up to twelve kids of your choosing, a balcony pool, training/trading mod, tons of everything and loads to explore! Want something even bigger? Try Dovahkiins Warehouse and Bedroom SSE... www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2125 It's flipping gigantic! I really loved the main living quarters. But, ultimately it was just far too expansive for my humble taste in homes. I got lost at least 6 times just attempting to navigate the property. But, it is a huge home and much more in the plains of WR. Enjoy and adventure on friend, Phat

Ain't tundra. Trees grow there, crops grow there, no permafrost underneath - ain't tundra. Might be some tundra near the tops of mountains, above the treeline, but not in the lowlands of Skyrim and definitely NOT where there are volcanic hotsprings. Developers seem think they can use a word that sounds neat and make up a new definition that has nothing to do with the real definition, duping gamers into sounding uneducated.

[@dragonrykr]

The return of the king! And in my opinion this might be the best of his houses thus far - perfect size, a castle yet still cozy, a design that fits superbly and a great location :)

[@Synicizm]

Wowzahs! Beautiful, as always with SkyriLazz. This could have easily gotten boring, but nope, not with his perfect decorating touches! I like that it's dark, but in a comforting way, if you know what I mean. This is going on my add list!

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Synick! /hug - I thought I might see you for this one, I know you're a big fan:)

[@Synicizm]

@@Synicizm Absolutely! Guiltily loving lockdown tbh!

[@Synicizm]

@@FebrithDarkstar Just saw your reply O.o. Guilty here too. Loving having my husband home, and we made EQ2 characters again, lol =). Glad you're doing alright and able to enjoy it a bit too =D.

[@ravent3016]

My favorite bed of all time, truly. Love the warmth of the rugs and tapestries throughout. I do think it needs a few animals inside and out.

[@lillyxfox2684]

OMG YES THANK YOU! I have multiple houses for options for different playthrough s and omg it's so annoying hearing people say you only need one lol. Like sometimes I even like to post my followers up in their own homes

[@ЮрійДавиденко-з7у]

Thank you very much for this video !!! I was running around the castle and could not find the underground garden))) And when I watched your video I immediately found it)))

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Yay!:)

[@Hrimstal]

Just discovered your channel while looking for a home for my Orc warrior, newly turned vampire. I have to say, you are astoundingly diligent with your uploads. That's impressive. You take your time and show us the homes in detail, providing commentary with the most wonderful British accent. Couldn't resist hitting the subscribe button.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Thanks and welcome - what a lovely thing to say:)

[@pauldunlop1660]

One of the best bijoux castles since FlahoShi's Eagles nest, every angle screenshot worthy both inside and out

[@jambazeus]

Feb! I just ran into this mod watching other skyrim videos, and I instantly wondered if you saw this - and lo and behold, you did! I'm a one house kinda guy in my game so I actually was torn between this one and Elysium Estate and ended up going for this one. My main reason being I like having a fort that feels like a safewall from the harshness of Skyrim, so now I need to find a mod that has home invasions or something so I can live the dream of protecting my home and treasure!

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Oh yeh it's a good one for sure:)

[@YourSkyliner]

Very nice library! So few housemods have good libraries unfortunatley, but I like this one a lot.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

I think so too!

[@urbanexotic]

Those pool rooms really make the place, as do the tapestries and pillows. I agree with Robert Vicek , who said the kids' area needed more personalization. They look like a nice barracks, not a place where your kids can live out their dovahbaby dreams. I wish the courtyard had some flowers and more ornament to it, too. I briefly considering trading Mirele Bismuth for this, but Mirele Bismuth has such a beautiful location that I could never. Would never trade my tower bedroom, either. ;)

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Hmmm placeable fountains - there's a neat idea for a mod!

[@urbanexotic]

@@FebrithDarkstar Placeable fountains? Sounds like a Campfire extension waiting to happen. Did you see the placeable bathtubs mod that just came out for it? So charming. Now every house can have a bathing area!

[@luanllluan]

amazing place and I think I saw a hieronymus bosch painting in the basement tapestry, that's so cool! great work

[@FebrithDarkstar]

That's a name that needs bringing back into fashion surely - Hieronymus :XD

[@luanllluan]

@@FebrithDarkstar hahahahahah can you imagine learning to spell this? Poor child xD

[@SodoMojo22]

Amazing home and great walkthrough. Thanks.

[@iansouthern9957]

This is a good mod, thanks for showcasing it. I think the Vampire tapestry is taken from a painting called The Triumph Of Death (c.1562) by Peter Brueghel the Elder, it was the cover for Black Sabbath's Greatest Hits.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Aaah thanks Ian:)

[@henkwilliemadriannusvander1955]

It’s a lovely castle, as expected from Skyrimlazz. Perfect location too. I just wish there is a few NPCs or guards, just to make that place more lively.

[@brunoribeiro2919]

This is REALLy my favorite player home so far. The undone bed, the cushions in the floor, the ivy in the walls, the rolled rugs.... looks like an abandoned keep appropriate by someone with good taste. Also has a lot of custom/ported stuff but everthing fits in Skyrim. And the size is perfect! Not so small and no way exagerated as Dragonfall Castle or Riverwood Keep. I'm so sad this player home is just for SE, wich my potato PC doesn't run =(

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Aww I'm so sorry to hear that - because this mod is gorgeous!

[@kirbywissman1790]

This place looks absolutely stunning. It's a shame that it hasn't been ported over to console yet 😕

[@entenigelpfau]

Hi, Feb! I plan a new playthrough as a Breton (female) and were looking for a House/Chalet/Castle, that fits, at least a little, to their typical Architecture and "LifeStyle" ;) I guess i found ONE! "My Lady" shall be one of the last members of an old Breton Noble-Lineage who has lost everything through Treason and Vile. She is not snobby, very "down-to-earth" a "Fighter" and has learned to appreciate the Little things in Life. Still, she knows about good and solid quality ;) This small Fortress/Castle, has it all! *thanks for the help ;)

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Perfect! :)

[@danielpaull7973]

Great review. Since it was in Whiterun we ignored it until now; that was a mistake 'cause of all of the beautiful tapestries and ivy. And if your gonna build Castles in the Sky; then grab Skyrim-Lazz's works of Art.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Definitely:)

[@lordplastic]

I've watched this video so many times, I really love this house I wish someone would port It to Xbox

[@layeththesmacketh]

Things you will probably never hear an estate agent say #24 - "The curtains kind of remind me of a prom dress that's been disassembled."....🤣🤣🤣

[@FebrithDarkstar]

:XD

[@DarkWillUser]

Of note, if you don't adopt or use this house for your family if you DO adopt, you can also change the children's room into a room for 6 more followers. I love that he does that with most of his mods. I am a big time adopter, but of course I only use one place at a time, though I install nearly all of his castles in every playthrough, so I like to change the kid beds into follower beds in the homes I am not using for my rug rats because even if not using it as my main home, I will usually pop into one of my homes to spend the night or even a couple days if I am near the area in my questing and travels. Thanks to Skyrimlazz and other modders, I have become quite the landowner and real estate baron. lol They may as well say "heck with Ulfric or Elisif" and crown me High King of Skyrim. ;) (That really SHOULD have been an option lol)

[@FebrithDarkstar]

LOL - pretty sure there is a mod out there that allows that but who wants that kind of responsibility? Pfft :D

Definitely can't have too many airships - that particular Dev Aveza is part of the Dragonborn Legacy (on which I have a whole playlist if you want to check it out). There is a stand alone version though if you just type in Dev Aveza on the Nexus search doo-dad.

I need to do a new playthrough and try some of these. Just too big and out of the way....but this one is very nice :) If I could live here after a life on Earth..with my follower buds I'd been down holes and dungeons with for years...that would be a great heaven. Best Regards!

[@jaderiver2905]

Love that intro music , Love your wallp[aer, was wondering if I could the name of mod its from please ? thanks , wonderful video liked ... Actuall what would really cool if you had a link of what mods you werte using you video, if find if you dont want to , too .. I heard you mention a khjiit plant mod or something which is why I asked =) ( I'm hard of hearing, so mightve mis heard "eh, what " ) Also lastly I didnt hear you when you said who made the mod, but something about it looked very familar, so when I clicked the link, went to nexus, sure enough , saw its a skyrimlazz home xD

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Hey Jade, the wallpaper is this mod: www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/30156/ - the music at the start is "Awake" which is the tune playing when you wake up on the cart going to Helgen - it always makes the hairs on my arms stand up when I hear it - I love it! That's a good point you make about linking other mods which change the look of my game - there are quite a few of them though so I'll never remember all of them. I've been asked a couple of times recently to show my mod list and links so that will probably come sometime "soon" - eek - as soon as I work out how to do it!

[@jaderiver2905]

@@FebrithDarkstar Lol, thanks for the link its fine about teh mod list, I knew it was a lot to ask, no rush anytime you have time is all thank you =D

[@RobertVlcek]

Great, well-lit, good use of tapestries, banners, paintings etc (is someone reading my rubbish posts?) and a castle I would install almost immediately. Two tiny things: 1) I would display some toys in the children's area (maybe a little tweak of the layout?) as seen in other mods. 2) the "coffin room" needs a switch as well like the blood pool, to turn it at least into a, let's say "party room" but without the vampiric touch. Seriously, why even coffins in an area with no light? I know that it is meant to point out that this is for vampires but it's just sooo depressing. Watch the first Underworld and tell me if you see coffins Selene's bedroom. And these vampires turn to dust. So, they use only curtains obviously. Also, a coffin does protect you as much from daylight as a curtain... Open it and it's game over. If you are that kind of vampire. If you are not, a coffin is just an ugly accessory. - Don't get me wrong, I like vampires as much as everyone who wants to be bitten by for example Kate Beckinsale but the Skyrim vampires are mostly more like what, cannibals who have no style at all with fangs? Am I ranting? I hope not. Um, as I said: a switch to turn the vampire party room (that's what the bedrolls in the middle of the room are for, I presume) into a general party room. 😉 Btw. the master bedroom is fantastic!

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Even I'd rather be bitten by Kate Beckinsale than by Michael Sheen /shudder! :D

[@pedigreeann]

I know you love the effect of the ivy indoors, but have you ever had to deal with ivy in real life? It becomes a monster, growing over everything in sight - has to be severely trimmed back often to keep it under control.

[@FebrithDarkstar]

Yes I have - and I still love it;) I takes a bit of annual maintenance to keep it under control but it's worth it to me for the wall of green it gives me - so much nicer than a fence or a wall. Obvs I wouldn't like it INside my home IRL cos - you know, spiders n stuff /shudder!

One thing I do enjoy with house mods, is a price tag. Can’t stand free homes. Unless of course there’s a quest to gain it. (find an old key deep in a delve, kill a tough boss and a multitude of enemies to earn it, etc..) Something about free gear, free homes, free items.. just don’t like it :p
