- Alice recommended I have a look at this one and THANKS Alice:), it's drop dead gorgeous. This video only touches on the home which - despite the mod description - is actually very large and with so much unique detail it's astonishing. I KNOW there are bits I've missed so download it, give the creator a big thumbs up, and check it out for yourself:) The mod creator is doing an update very soon and I will do a Part II and show you the kids rooms that I missed!

omg rip pc ,houses have come a very long way since I returned after 5 years of the game , I thought have elisum with the in door smelter (old version )was ace but this takes to another league
I know right? Sooo blooming lovely - I spent far longer on the video than I thought I was going to and still didn't show everything.
I start to love this place, then it just overwhelms me. It's labyrinthian.
The only way to enjoy living in it, in my opinion, is truly to just live in it full-time. The genuine full exploration of this place would still be popping up little discoveries for hours and hours of gameplay.
I paused and started the video a lot because there is just too much to look at to take in through a wide lens.
It IS someone's magnum opus, because they inhabited this place utterly. Generations of personalities, unified by a few 'familial' themes, and perhaps even a great history to be explored. This is where you go when you've exhausted Skyrim, and want an entirely new life in retirement.
Without kids.
:XD
Beautiful! The walk up was a bit much but the views are stunning. The house is a complete level above the rest. Wonderful!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
A bit too dainty for my taste, but I can 100% see this as the be-all/end-all of home mods for the right person. My mind was slightly blown seeing my favourite shot of Geralt and Yennefer @ 12:46. Staggering level of detail.
Yes Connie is amazing - if you like this one you might like Laboratorium which is also stunning:)
definitely German/ Austrian stile someone spent a lot of time on this absolutely beautiful
This house is soooo gorgeous, I'm so glad you covered it!!! I knew you'd like it hahaha, thank you so much Febrith!!
No thank YOU for suggesting it - cracking recommendation lol
Febrith: "The outside of this home is... beyond beautiful. It kind of reminds me, it's sort of European medieval."
Me: That is the most Tudor London looking building I have ever seen in a video game.
Ways to tell the sex of the modder:
1. If there is an empty flat surface anywhere
2. If the pillows-to-bed ratio is a multiple
3. If there are precipitous falls because a bannister would cramp a niche's picturesque quality...
Do I need to say it..?
I truly love this mod, but from an immersive standpoint, it would always feel like someone else's house, maybe inherited. There are literally generations of lives within the walls, and I would feel like even my best stuff would just clash with everything --- bespoiling it.
That said, it's EASY to imagine this being one's maternal ancestry's family manor. It has a stately graceful artistic feminine appeal, not in the least diminished by a tidy whole-floor painter's studio.
It's the kind of place where boots are left at the door, hats are not worn tableside, and guest, while infrequent, would always be tempted to stay.
Roleplaying in this estate would make one reluctant to leave it, and tempted to max it out with the best of followers and servants--- to see how they interact with it.
As matronly as it feels, however, this is not a place for children. There is just too much careful balance and obsessive storage for children to be allowed uncaged within its walls.
It reminds me of a multi-story Room of Requirement...
Oh yes!
Can this be found on xbox?
I've always wanted to play on pc but I haven't been able to yet.
Hi Alice, I don't think so - but I'm a PC channel so I don't keep track of X-Box mods - sorry!
@@FebrithDarkstar it's fine, thank you .. also I love your videos keep up the great work!
@@Valentines89969n Aww thank you!:)
Anyway anyone could port this to Xbox? I love it
Spiral staircases. Great to look at hard on the legs. Friends put in one in a home, it was beautiful but it is like climbing three sets of stairs. Still worth having.
Ooh side benefit of getting fitter!
It sure beats a gym membership... But in end not only leaves you dizzy at first but a great workout.
Forget the game I want to live here in real life! It would be hard to use for the game purpose but who cares. I am sure it is not medium, it is huge. I would need a map not to get lost.
Me too! And absolutely - it's taking some getting used to but I have moved in!
First time I've seen this mod and I have to say to MA has nailed something most people have never nailed. Making a big house mod without it being bland and boring
Omg... she/he even put Ciris grumpy face there and Dandelions outfit. Who ever did this... I salute them. This is... awesome.
Stairway to heaven?.... Oh, holy cow, it is!
My goodness gracious.
Thanks for showcasing this!!
Okay, "Open Geheimtür" is just hilarious - Geheimtür means "secret door" btw.
The authors name, if it actually is the real name, is female - however, if the author used a nickname, it could also be a variant of a male name... So, it's hard to say. From some of the decorations, I'd say there is a 95% chance the mod author is a woman.
And, it seems to be the home of Julian Alfred Pankratz aka Dandelion or as we call him "Rittersporn" (literally: "knight's spur"), one of the friends of Geralt of Rvia, judging by that vest on the clothing rack - lol.
Oh, gosh, one of the best sources for high-res, highly detailed elements that look like they are high-medieval middle-european is Witcher 3 and it seems many mod authors seem to have played it.
It's amazing how mod author's are able to use all these elements from different games and are able to make it look like it belongs together. Nothing really stands out like a sore thumb.
Just looked up "Snow Hill Manor" and, yeah, you nailed the comparison there. Maybe the interior was inspired by this - or it's just a big coincidence.
The work on this mod must have been... I'm actually out of words at this point. That bath... With frescoes!
And this is still a work in progress!
You know, this homes needs Archimedes, Merlin's owl in that Disney movie.
Actually, did you notice how natural and like a place that could exist this feels like with all these animals outside.
That's something Skyrim is lacking a bit: more natural life, like geese crossing the streets of Whiterun or a pig that oinks in someone's yard in Falkreath.
Medium.... According to the Nexus, its 1.5 GB big? Guess, I can bury my hopes for an Xbox version.... I want to move in!!
Exactly - I think that's what got me the most - it feels real to me because I've seen houses like this IRL - and geese roaming around in game would be awesome, you're right it is lacking, I hadn't even thought of that before.
Only just seen this house. Brilliant design. Mod author obviously a Witcher fan as well!
Omg this house is incredible. I think this is my favorite of all I've seen. Love your videos!
Thanks Cody:)
I spend tooooo much time trying to find ways not to like some mods. It keeps me young.
Mostly, I imagine problems that would never materialize, but should. There are so many open-air areas with indoor luxuries, I sort of cringe, especially considering how such materials would suffer additional in the ever-present mist from the falls. Everything would be soaked, never mind the weather mods making some areas immersively repellent.
This place would have a body-count in winter. Imagine trying to navigate the bridge/ramps after a winter freeze. They'd be covered in thin, wet ice.
That said, you don't like kids anyway, and this would be a fun way to take them out.
Incredible! I can't even imagine all the work that went into this! It feels old and lived in by a family who really did put their life's work into building it and collecting things... and I'm so jealous that you got to visit a place like this irl, haha!
It seems like it might be in the same area as Darkwater Lodge, which isn't quite as epic, but still pretty great, imo. That stairway/ waterfall/ chest combo looks too familiar, lol.
Speaking of feeling like Cinderella, I'm sure you've tried the Divine Elegance store. It's the reason none of my mannequins are actually wearing armor. Too many fabulous dresses to put on them!
I haven't, but I just looked it up and you may well have changed my life:P
@@FebrithDarkstar Lol, uh-oh... =)
(in a happy way, but they have a huuuge inventory, hehe. There's a crow you can buy if you want to improve their armor/ craft the items yourself =))
Oh nice - Im totally going to do that heh:) thanks!
I instantly thought this would be the perfect house if you’re an elf.
Hey Feb!!! Love, LOVE your videos!! I know you filmed this several years ago, thought I'd let you know you CAN set the Dining Table. I noticed in your video the candle/flower display in the center of the table (reminded me of Lake Haven's where you click that to set the table) .. Well, click the Centerpiece and you can set the table with a TON of YUMMY eats!!! Also, I noted the Coffee Table in the Entrance (walking straight towards the bedroom from the Main Front Door) .. .If you click on that coffee Table, you can change the deco's on it for "going on an adventure" .... Also, knew you were looking for the Smelter in the Cellar (Off the Kitchen area, Lowest Level).. It's next the the Eagles Head spewing lava, INSIDE the square shaped Forge... Really Cool stuff I've been finding. Thought I'd share this with you!
Thank you!
Interesting idea. So much detail but a bit too involved to use much. I'll keep Dragon Falls Manor here. Best Regards and thanks!
Fair enough! There's something for everybody:)
Another outstanding mod review. I loved your review, but I do have one question, did you live in this home after your review, and if so did you ever find a way up to that top-level? I can't thank you enough for all your hard work and efforts in producing this outstanding video. I really look forward to seeing many more for you. I think I will put that in my mod order since I currently putting together the mods for Legend of the Dragon Born playthrough. Best wishes always.
Me too Eric! Just started a new game right now. I didn't live in this one in my last game and only discovered what you see on the file there, but I will probably download it again just because it's so drop dead gorgeous and that library room is the bomb.
Just exquisite and so many custom things plus the DB Legacy thing added is awesome! I will keep this in mind for when I do the Legacy playthrough, thank you...ahhh I also just found a huge interesting place with many custom things for LE that is going to take me forever to explore it seems...called Dragonia if you are interested :)
Funny thing - you're the second person to mention that place to me - the video is processing now so will be published in the next day or two:)
@@FebrithDarkstar Cool! :D
Many of the paintings pictured in this mod are from famous artists, how lovely to see them used here ! Massive house, hardly medium by any stretch !
Thank you for this tour
My pleasure!:)
The place is very Bavarian/Austrian, and gorgeous, but you'd never get mail or visitors.
It's a two-day trip from the bottom of the stairs.
Well that's true :D No one's coming round to borrow sugar for sure :D
Rather Elizabethan, this. Seems to take forever to get up the mountain "path" to the house!
Lol - it did- but soooo worth it!
@@FebrithDarkstar Looked a lot like a Bosmer skyway. In fact, I bookmarked the house; I may try it on a reinstall.
Strikes me as a retired female dragonborn, or maybe a male dragonborn that built the house with his wife in mind and let her do most of the decorating. Dress making, painting, a spinning wheel. It’s almost the opposite of a place like sjel blad that has an overtly active military feel, which great in its own way.
Absolutely:)
You girl looks good, under that artmor from what I can see, ^^ , I try downloading khajiit mods to have them look good, but they still look washed out ... xD
Awww!:)
I dont know how I missed this video, and am just now discovering it. But this may be my favorite house ever. Any idea if it works with ae?
I don't know but I have Laboratorium installed presently by the same mod author and that one does!
😯😯😯😯😯
The custom armor and shield here should be a rainsuit, rubbers and an umbrella for a shield.
:D
Indiana Jones / Lara Croft OR Geralt and Triss would love to live in
:XD
The rabbit barks!?
Looks like someone brought a house from Skingrad, Cyradiil. 👍👍👌👌
It's boggling isn't it? I'm in awe of this place!:)
@@FebrithDarkstar Totally Skingrad house. So much of the Skingrad culture. Well, actually German Victorian era house, but Skingrad style house is the closest style. Love it! 👍👍
I love this mod, *EXCEPT* one glaring feature... that root walkway behind the home, why is that there!? It’s not practical, it’s not pretty and it servers no purpose besides getting to the gazebo at the bottom of the waterfall(which by the way there are places you can place the gazebo at further up the waterfalls and have a smaller bridge leading to it) hell you can’t even use the alchemy lab on the walkway soooo what’s the point of that except to bloat my save game and bog down my pc...!?
Now don’t get me wrong I’m not ragging on the mod author or trying to put them down I love this mod as a whole but it’s just that one thing that if I could and knew how to delete that bridge and move the gazebo I would besides that I would change nothing in this mod nothing at *ALL* .
I really must now that music in the beginning of this video.
That's just the game soundtrack by Jeremy Soule - it's lovely to listen to when you're doing the ironing :D
👍😉
And I expected to find the coffine for the vampiric Count of Skingrad in the basement. 🤣🤣👍👍👌👌
Outstanding! I can’t even imagine how long that would’ve taken to build.
Can anyone say Stairway to Heaven? 🤯
:D
Amazing and beautiful!
It really is!
Next time I re-mod my game it will just be of all of these
houses you keep showing and maybe one new follower.
I envy people with this type of talent my house mod would
be a box with a window and a bed and call it "The Hermit House" lol
Lol - and I know what you mean - if only I knew how to use the CK but oh well, it's a pleasure to see everyone's hard work:)
This is awesome I love the Walls Architecture the celler,Studys I always wanted a Philosopher type study room little cramped for my taste but if they can match with one of the last houses yea showed would be perfect indeed i love your reviews.
Ty!:)
This is the most realistic and beautiful house mod I have ever seen, yet it manages to fit in Skyrim it's amazing! Trying to peg down what race this fits most, thinking maybe an Imperial or a Breton. Not to say a Khajiit can't live there to of course. The folk or folks that made this is very talented they did one heck of a job. Also I love your commentary, for me I think you do a much better job than any other UA-camr who does mod spotlight showcase videos, I really do mean that, your videos are very pleasant to watch and listen to please do keep up the great work, have a great day.
Awww thanks so much Wolfkin:)
@@FebrithDarkstar You're welcome, I've been watching a few of your videos, love them. :)
This is the most beautiful skyrim home I've ever seen. Too bad is only for Special edition. 😒
I totally agree
my computer cannot handle this house, it lags so badly, but i love this house!!
Awww:(
Ost?
Yes:)
This looks a lot less cramped than her other big house, and possibly a lot more follower/child friendly on the inside.
But outside! Ughh. That climb.
Needs a Dwemer elevator. Even widening the walkways wouldn't be enough.
Be hell getting there on foot with thee or four companions.
Lol! Well with only one follower and a bunny I found it so worth the climb and I like the little view points - and you can stop for tea near the top :D
@@FebrithDarkstar Definitely not a problem if you have time. I tend to only use houses as follower/weapon/material storage personally.
I rarely rest there, rarely eat there, rarely work there, just choosing the nearest enchanter, or inn, etc, especially with a good camping mod, so follower storage and quick easy access (I often don't or can't fast travel), is fundamental for me.
I'd love to see this modder or Elianora give a makeover to the houses by the guy who made Silan and Frostvale Manors.
From a practicality perspective he truly gets it, from an artistic one, it's s bit vanilla.
Yet so few houses do both well, so one must always choose. I choose utility over style, or it causes such headaches for playstyle. Nevertheless I've gone back through all your videos, and will subscribe, because your channel is great, and if ever someone will showcase houses that do BOTH well, I'm sure it'll be you.
After that long azz walk up the driveway I thought you were going to just sit and gawk at the eye candy for ladies in room number1. House is just perfect aside from that walk, I might have to get it for a winter retreat 😉 Does it have valet parking for 🐉?
It's the very epitome of eye candy this home - I saw some amazing mods last year but this one is just mwah! I don't think there's parking for anything other than my broomstick (Granny Weatherwax mod lol)
@@FebrithDarkstar keepin' it immersive 😁
Hi again Feb, was also looking at this home, but I think it looks to be in its own world space and if you own a horse you wont be able to bring it thru, might give it a miss, the forever walk way kinda put me off a little, now this walkway really could use travelator .. great video as usual
Thanks Jade:)
@@FebrithDarkstar Yes, I just took a look at this, is some direction its a terrible fps drop, inigo had trouble getting thru as did I , I had to use moveto to get him in and then near the bath area it froze , so not for me, but great fantastic home, also the the mirror didnt work well for face changing you saw the looks menu just not youself .. ahh well =)
You can even take a shower (or two) on the way up.
Lol:) You might need one having walked that far!:)
What mod do use to plant all the trees, flowers, vines, and them berry bushes? I can't seem to figure that one out :{
www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/34087 and www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/37161
@@FebrithDarkstar Thank you again my friend. I really like all your videos and how you go far and beyond explaining things. And I really love your accent :}
@@vickiecyr5793 Aww thanks Vickie:)
kind of a tudor style home .
Yes! I love this style:)
I have SSE, I saw the mod last week and the author said in the description that you have to have LE also for this home. Do you have both versions?
I do have both SSE and LE but this mod only on SSE. In fact I can't find it for LE on the Nexus - on the description page the mod author says:
Q: Will there be a Skyrim (Oldrim) version?
A: Yes but probably after I feel I can call it not a WIP anymore.
@@FebrithDarkstar maybe it was my vortex that said it. But I will try it anyway because it is beautiful. Thank you.
No worries, I do try and remember to put links for both versions of the game where they are available - and sometimes I forget!
@@FebrithDarkstar thank you so much. I appreciate you doing these videos.
*throws my stupid Xbox*
LOL! Awwww
17:00 Cirilla?
/shrug - but she has such fat lil cheeks, I just want to pinch them!

Guaranteed that this mod author is either a woman or a gay man. No straight man could possibly decorate in this thoroughly (speaking as one myself).
Yesh she did a wonderful job - check out her Laboratorium also, that's pretty stunning too:)
All you need to do to get rid of clipping rocks, is pull up the console, click the rock and type "disable". Easy.
