About this mod

SSE port of the wonderful player home, Hindalok. Located outside Riverwood

Permissions and credits
Hindalok was my favorite player home in Skyrim LE for many years.  I never found a home in SE that captured the feeling of home that I had here, so ported it for my own use, and it's been my home ever since.  The original author, gary62, graciously granted permission to upload my port, so here it is.  Please visit the original page for many details about the home.

There is a backstory to Hindalok, which you will discover in reading some notes, as well as some bonus items to help you on your way.   It's small and cozy.  Have a look around to see what you discover.  A lot of interactable items, lanterns, fireplace (chimney smokes when it's on), table can be set, and an extra sleeping mat can be moved out from under the bed.  Plenty of safe storage and an alchemy table up in the loft.  There is wonderful lighting in the home that changes depending on the time of day.  Outside in the shed is an enchanting table and workbench, as well as a great nook for reading with a cup of mead, warming nearby.  There's a tanning rack in front of the home and wood chopping block out back.  Your horse will stay at a cozy spot with a water trough and plenty of hay.  And there's a great fishing spot by the bridge with a lantern for some night fishing.  And an outhouse as well!

Hindalok is great for a starter home, or forever home (which for most of my characters has been), depending on your play style.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I have all these years.

7/7/23 Update:  I wanted to be able to keep continuing to use Grandfather's sword on certain characters so have uploaded a second file which improves the appearance based on Billyro's Sarta Weapon and also adds a temper recipe so it can be upgraded at the grindstone.  Apart from the weapon change, this file is identical to the original so choose one or the other.  Thank you to Billyro for open permissions on this wonderful weapon.  See screenshots.

7/8/23 Optional:  If you use any combination of lush grass mods, the yard can look untidy.  This version (along with the upgraded sword) completely removes grass on the property.  Removal of grass may expose some landscape transition seams depending on what textures you use.  So pick and choose your irritation battles.  Requires Landscape Fixes for Grass Mods as a master.  Does not remove trees.  If you have a mod that adds trees to this area, you will have to manually disable those. Check screenshots.
