[size=16]Mod Overview:[/size]
The Thane's Barracks is my first modding project for Skyrim. I originally created it with the mindset of creating a large hall that was meant to act as a massive show room originally titled "Dovahkiin Hall". I scrapped the original idea and recreated the floor plan from the ground up.

What I try to do with this player house is provide all of the necessities under one roof, without all the extra crap. For example this house only features 5 rooms, a main hall (relatively small to get between the rooms) and the entry foyer. I try to keep everything some what symmetrical as well as putting the house in what I feel is a believable area.

[size=16]Feature List:[/size]
The Thane's Barracks features 5 rooms. A bedroom, Shrine Room, Common Area, Smithy and Library. The rooms and their general contents are as follows:

[size=16]Frequently Asked Questions:[/size]
  • Question: Where is the house?
  • Answer: The Thane's Barracks is located just outside the main (loading) gate into the city of Whiterun. If you stand in front of the main gate and then look down the walkway towards the arch and draw bridge you should see an opening to the right of the draw bridge (see first screenshot). This opening is to a little room and contains the door to the Thane's Barracks.
  • Question: Can I re-use your design/mod for my own purposes?
  • Answer: Yes! You are allowed to re-use my mod however you see fit, post it on different sites or what have you. All I ask is that you credit me for what bit of it is mine. No permission required. Though I wouldn't mind a heads-up so I can check out what you did to it! :)
  • Question: There isn't any clutter in the house! What gives?
  • Answer: I like my houses empty. I am a collector of items and like to put the items in my house myself, including their positioning. As such I do not clutter my houses. This mod will never have pre-placed clutter. (Plates/Bowls/Miscellanious items etc).[/list]

    • Completely Redisgned Layout
    • Completely new .ESP as everything has been recreated from scratch.
