Abodes

updated July 16th, 2018

From camps to mansions and from castles to caravans, there's some modder out there who made something you'll like to live in! You don't have to download all of these, we're just trying to give you guys some options since the vanilla houses are pretty bland and lack variety.

During the Golden Age of /tesg/, there was a man named Basil. Basil was one of the greatest things to ever happen to us. He was a modder, a magic man, and an all around good guy; which is sort of rare for us. He was the one who first started the whole adventure thing and story telling in the threads, which inspired a lot of people to come and contribute. He liked waifus and he liked lore, this was one of the origins of "Waifus and Lore living in harmony". The last we heard of him was around Spring of 2012. He said he was going to combine all of his caravan mods into one big mod package, but never heard from him ever again and the caravan pack was never released. We don't know what happend to him, but we miss him. Here are some of his caravan mods. They are all stationary camps with a lot of imagination put into them. We hope you enjoy them.

Basil's Caravan Homes

Haafingar Hold

Hjaalmarch Hold

Elisdriel - Bosmer treehouse A nice and cozy treehouse with a Bosmer theme around it.	Halamshiral - Mage Tower A perfect home for the perfect mage.	Hilltop House Hilltop house is a small abode that's on top of a hill. It's secluded and very spooky. This is recommended for Dark Brootherhood like characters because of all the blood and skeletons you'll find in here. Vampires would work as well!
Marsh Light Home This player home is located in the marshes between Solitude and Morthal. It includes a hidden armory/treasure room and a portal system. The portal system is a set of five 'Traveller's Shrines' spread across Skyrim. They are ONE WAY ONLY portals. This gives you a balanced shortcut to get home when your full of loot but it can't be abused. To gain entry you must loot the Traveller's body at the Roadside Ruins in Falkreath. He has the key and the 'Traveller's Stone' which unlocks the portals.	Myrheim - Tiny Swamp House A small witch-y shack near Movarth's lair. Perfect for humble or quite alchemists and mages.	Swamp Home On the outskirts of Hjaalmarch lies a small hut, seemingly abandoned. And yet, every night, its lights shine through the thickest fog. Will you be brave enough to take a closer look?

The Pale Hold

Heljarchen Farm Heljarchen Farm is a player-owned farm that allows you to rebuild a once-abandoned property into a functional farming business. Restoring the farm to its former glory will reward the player with income every 5 days and the ability to harvest crops grown on the farm fields. The farm can even be upgraded further with the construction of a small meadery and guardhouse, allowing you to earn gold from a meadery operation, with guards protecting your goods against thieves.	Hermit Mountain Cottage This is a small, cozy cottage built on the snowy mountains of Skyrim.	The Northern Star Retreat - Revisited A Home placed in the Northland, a rich house suitable for any Dragonborn who prefer to get away from the hassles and the bustle of the city and spend a moment of peacefulness, immersed in the silence of the typical charming landscape of the Pale's coasts.
Pale Marsh Manor Pale Marsh Manor is a player home located in the Pale. The entrance is just East of Dawnstar, along the coast. Hidden away for time unknown, an entrance has recently opened to allow access to a curious marshy valley among the mountains. Red water bubbles out from springs in the marsh, causing unusual changes to the local flora. What better place to make a quiet living?

The Reach Hold

Bluthanch - Tiny Dwemer home A tiny abandoned Dwemer themed home perfectly fit for a scientist or magician.	Shurrashi's Den - Voodoo styled Player Home Voodoo themed player home located in the Reach.

The Rift Hold

Aemers Refuge A Dwemer fortress with portals, shrines, and all the room in the world for crafting and for your loot! The exterior of the home is very open and solemn while the interior is packed but roomy! The place might feel small, but each room takes you to an even larger section of the home with plenty of space! Some parts of this home remind me of Dwarven ruins from World of Warcraft.	Azura's Dawn Azura's Dawn is a luxurious mansion situated beautifully on the Treva River, halfway between Riften and Ivarstead. The Mansion is done to be just a lovely environment to relax in, but has all the needed infrastructure; like lots of beds for followers, crafting chambers for crafting, enchanting and so on, a treasury and even two specific children's rooms.	Blackfall Estate - A Home for Thieves Darkfall Estate is a seemingly ordinary medium sized house outside Riften. However down it’s hidden basement lies everything a thief or person of ill repute needs.
The Corwells Retreat A rather large and robust log cabin near Riften.	Dragon Falls Manor Dragon Falls Manor is a player house with an amazing view, surrounded by many waterfalls. It's practically one of the oldest house mods out there, but it still looks fantastic.	Forgotten Windmill This house consists of a windmill located in an isolated area that provides an amazing view of much of Skyrim. It has been forgotten by time and civilization for decades, waiting patiently for a new owner to claim it as his/her own.
Holmwood This home is made for the secluded vampire hunter. It's a cozy log cabin that has a custom armory in it. The author says that this house is meant to be a lone warrior's place. Just a man and his faithful dog. No frills, no friends, CERTAINLY NO children.	Huntsman's Hut This mod adds a tiny wooden cabin near Heartwood Mill in the Rift, suitable for a ranger character who lives alone in the woods. It's furnished in a simple style but is cluttered enough to feel cozy and homey.	The Lone Gypsy An outdoor boat which serves as a small home. Very rustic and comfy!

Suitable for druids, nature lovers, wannabe spriggans and other dwellers in touch with the Aetherius.	Raven's Rest Raven's Rest is a very beautiful and unique player home. There's plenty to look at and explore, you won't get bored with this house mod.
Rift Raft It's play on words name should say it all! It's a little boat on the Riften docks with the simplistic of designs. It's got a few barrels and chest for storage, a chair, and a bed. Not recommend for people who have lots followers. This is more of the lonely fisherman type of player home.	Tanners Ridge Treehouse The treehouse is located in Riften. It is a modest dwelling, but contains everything a player house should. It is truly in one of the most gorgeous parts of Skyrim, and the house looks amazing just before dusk.	Thief's Hideout Ultimate Adds a small little den in the Riften Ratway for the rich and successful thief. This is the THIRD remake for this mod.
Thief player home in Riften Canal Mod adds a small apartment (copy of Elgrim's Elixirs) into to Riften Canals. It has a pretty nice wardrobe selection as well.

Whiterun Hold

Beginners Shack Probably the smallest house mod ever. It's really just a dog house you can sleep in that has a door.	Breezerock Lodge A simple nordic house in the west of Whiterun.	Cliffside Cottage Cliffside Cottage is a medium sized, multiple-adoption friendly exterior home located east of Whiterun.
Dragonia Dragonia is a large estate offered to those destined to be Dragonborn. Located within the foothills of the Throat of the World, it has served those few so gifted through the centuries.

Eli's Shack Small house mod located right across from Honningbrew Meadery.	Elysium Estate Elysium Estate was originally created as an alternative to using Breezehome. It is located near Whiterun and is based on the Breezehome design. It is a medium-sized home that was decorated to please the eye.

Gwynbleidd - Herbalists Hut This adds a Herbalist's Hut to Skyrim for all your herbal-like needs.	Leaf Rest Leaf Rest is a small home located in Riverwood. Even though it's small, it's packed with tons of items and enough room for you and your companions. The house fits perfectly in Riverwood while being unique from the rest of the town's hut-I mean "houses".
Legend of the Eagles Nest Eagles Nest is a lore friendly fortress, with passion for detail. It is located on the summit of a mountain between Riverwood and Whiterun. The fortress is rather small, but the design offers everything you need. During a short quest you have to rebuild/upgrade the fortress (also includes a special forge and alchemy burner) and also hire a steward and a guard (you can also equip them after the quest).	Little Bridge Den Classic little bridge den is a cozy little nook under the front gate bridge in Whiterun. There's an enchanter, a few chairs, and a bed in it.	Onboro House An older version of Round Window Cabin, but different enough to be just as comfy.
Praan Hofkiin- Ancient Nord Home Praan Hofkiin is a modest home aimed at those who like to roleplay. While it does not offer all the fancy furniture and crafting stations most houses offer, this mod does give you a cozy place for you to lay your head down and stash your mountains of loot.	The Rabbit Hole Cave Hideout The Rabbit Hole Cave Hideout is a VERY small little cave with almost nothing in it. Nothing fancy and nothing complex.	Riverside Lodge Riverside Lodge is a very large and customizable player home. It has all the crafting tables, plenty of storage space, and even extra rooms and beds for your followers. It also comes with a working sauna which makes this lodge more of a vacation spot where you can kick back and relax.
Round Window Cabin Very simple, cozy home, with a nice view of Whiterun.	Skooma Den Ever wanted to pretend you were a skooma dealer? Now you can with this house mod! This skooma den is built in the sewers of Whiterun and is very fitting for vile skooma dealers and bad guy people.	Sleeping Tree Sanctuary This home includes a neat quest to discover it, Automatic Item Storage for your convenient storing needs, and an airship transport that takes you to all the major cities and more. The house is more like a string of portals that lead you to different dwemer themed hideouts.
Tiny Calm Garden Small and comfy home near the farms on Whiterun.	Tiny Shack Tiny tiny shack near Whiterun. Not for the more claustrophobic adventurers.	Voice Master House This mod adds a player-owned house, the "Voice Master House", near High Hrothgar.To get the key to the house, you must brave a small dungeon with a scaled encounter. It's a very Nordic themed house with all sorts of Windhelm pieces used in it.
Whiterun Mansion A beautiful looking mansion outside the walls of Whiterun. This home is very big and includes everything you need to live. The two differences about this mod compared to other homes is that there is a vendor you can use to buy alchemy supplies and a portal that leads you right into Whiterun itself!	Whiterun Underground Lair Adds a little underground lair to Whiterun. Think of it as the ratway except nicer looking.

Tamriel

Abandoned Temple A recently abandoned temple with a complex dwemer machine lies in the Nibenay Basin (Cyrodiil) and it's ready to be claimed. The house has everything you need: bookshelves, bathhouse, cooking stand, oven, storage, dragon claws, elder scrolls and masks display, alchemy table, black books placers.	Airship - Dev Aveza Unlike The Asteria, this airship can actually be piloted by someone and go fly all across Skyrim. Not only can you take it anywhere, the ships interior is really well made and can house several people. This is probably one of the most unique player homes so far.	The Asteria The Asteria is a floating airship that has everything you need! It's got crafting tables, a kitchen, bedrooms, and even a shower! Even though the home is stationary, it's still very impressive to look at it from the ground. Think of this ships as the Thousand Sunny from One Piece, only this one is flying and has a bunch of dwemer parts all over it.
Belko's House A small comfy house that has everything you need.	Field Lab 2 A hovering field lab, built in the typical architectural style of the Telvanni. It features a platform for an unimpaired panoramic view and can be summoned at any place in the world, provided there is enough space for it. It can be accessed by ascending to it (included floating feature) or via the map marker. You're not a true Dunmer if you haven't used this mod yet.	Fyr Manor Your house from Sotha Sil Expanded, now in Skyrim! Built as a home-away-from-home for the great Telvanni lord Divayth Fyr, Fyr Manor has sat for centuries in the Clockwork City, changing hands almost as often as it loses its modules! But now, with the Nerevarine off in Akavir and Lord Fyr having fun in some pocket realm, the Manor desires a new caretaker, and what better caretaker than the Dragonborn?

Unlocked allows you go inside the caravan and place objects and crafting tables outside of the caravan since the caravan coach is very small.

If the room is too dark please look for the light switch.
Khune - Redguard House Khune is a unique player home with a Redguard/Alik'r theme to it. Almost makes you want to wish that the next TES game is gonna take place in Hammerfell right?	Raven Nest Raven Nest is a simple home in Solstheim. This is one of the first house mods in Solstheim and deserves its recognition for it. It still has that Dunmer feel that all the Solstheim houses have, but it has its own decoratiosn and aesthetics that make it look better than what Dunmer usually live in.

As the name states, there's a lot of alchemy tools and supplies within the home.	Anoriths Shack This a pretty small and boring cabin, but it's one of the BEST places to take screenshots in.
