Some of the most popular mods for Skyrim are player-built houses for characters to call home. These can range from simple shacks to sprawling palaces that fit a variety of roleplaying, aesthetic, and practical needs.
While there are dozens of well-crafted home mods for players to choose from, there are some that stand out for their beauty, creativity, and usefulness. These homes are some of the best examples of places that Skyrim players could have for their characters to live in.
10 Pineford Creek
Pineford Creek is entirely nature-oriented, making it perfect for a Bosmer-type character or anyone who enjoys lush environments. It seamlessly blends from indoors to outdoors with vegetation like trees, flowers, and shrubbery making the transitions almost imperceptible.
The various keys needed to unlock the different parts of the home are hidden in the environment. The house boasts tons of storage, displays, shrines, food supplies, and a teleportation spell.
9 Dwemer Manor
The Dwemer Manor is designed to feature the technological advances and aesthetics of the Dwemer. It’s near the Darkwater Pass in the Rift and comes in two flavors. The Regular Version features a more traditional Dwemer feel while the Exotic package is much more modern.
There are a number of storage and displays for various loot, six merchant staff, and three Droid followers, along with a Teleport Spell for travel. There is also a hidden room tucked somewhere within the Manor walls. The home is expensive at 30 thousand gold but well worth the price.
8 Fyr Manor
According to the mod’s lore, the Fyr Manor was built for the Telvanni lord Divayth Fyr to serve as his home away from home. The house is located in its own pocket dimension of Sotha Sil. The home is technologically advanced and clearly designed for spellcasters.
It also features an auto-sorting storage system, artifacts from previous games, a butler with his own voice-acted dialogue, hidden rooms and secrets, and so much more. The best parts are the room modules that can be found in the real world to further expand the home in creative and customized ways.
7 Ravenholm
Ravenholm is a home designed for vampires. It uses Volkihar architecture and, as a result, is very dark and brooding. It’s located near the Last Vigil and is geared for more villainous vampiric characters thanks to the aesthetics and the functioning jail in the dungeon with a thrall.
There is plenty of labeled storage, alchemy and enchanting workstations, displays, and custom wardrobe. In addition to the imprisoned thrall, there is a coffin, displays designed for “Dawnguard” DLC items, and other features useful for vampires.
6 Nakahara – Akiviri House
The Nakahara – Akiviri House is designed after the Asian/Akiviri aesthetic. Located in Whiterun Hold, it’s a minimalistic property that serves the budding Blades member or wannabe samurai well. While there are some displays for swords and armor, it’s very minimal which might be a problem for hoarders.
The home is built next to a body of water in the middle of nowhere, which is perfect for characters looking to get away from it all. The large windows give a perfect view of the water and the interior is designed with a zen-like quality.
5 Deus Mons
The Deus Mons is a large and intricate stronghold for the player to own in the Throat of the World. The key is held by a powerful dragon, making it reserved for stronger players to obtain.
The large stronghold has tons of storage, displays, and multiple rooms serving a variety of functions from smithing to enchanting. For all intents and purposes, anything any player could ever need would be located here, making it a mighty home with plenty of potential.
4 Pale Marsh Manor
Located in the Pale, Pale Marsh Manor is unique on this list for its white and red design both in and outside of the home. This aesthetic makes the home seem both haunted and beautiful at the same time.
There are plenty of windows to view the snowy environment with the vibrant red-leafed trees in the yard. It’s not as large as some other homes, but the Pale Marsh Manor has crafting stations, alchemy labs, enchanting, smithing, and several displays. There are also large bookshelves and potion rack displays. It’s the perfect home for budding alchemists.
3 The Asteria
The Asteria is a Dwemer Airship hovering near the Riverwood. Interestingly, the home is 100% lore-friendly and should be recognizable to anyone who played the “Bloodmoon” DLC of Morrowind.
The Airship is fairly large, boasting tons of storage, displays, multiple mannequins, and other ways to show off loot. There is also a forge, workbench, alchemy table, enchanting table, and other useful items to make it useful for any playing style. Without additional mods, the Airship doesn’t move, but it still serves as a beautiful and unique home.
2 Shrouded Lair
The Shrouded Lair resides in its own pocket realm of eternal night. This makes it the ideal home for a vampire or evil-minded character. The castle is fairly large and utilizes books to transport to the different rooms of the home.
The castle boasts multiple display rooms such as an armory, library, and throne room. There’s a garden outside featuring plants with ingredients for poisons, a torture chamber with caged prisoners useful for vampires, and three merchants with new weapons.
1 AHO-Dwemer Ship
The Aetherium Hyperspace Observatory, or AHO, is a large mobile home designed entirely after Dwemer architecture. The large sphere floats in the sky like an Airship and features unique and intricate designs. It also features customizable lighting.
Inside are crafting stations, a variety of containers, and bookshelves. It has a unique Drink Factory and a Many-Faced’s Tool that lets the player change their character appearance. Most impressive is the fact that the base moves, being able to hover above Deep Folk Crossing, Alftand, Nchardak, Avanchnzel, Tower of Mzark, or Reachwind Eyrie. It may not be the largest or most beautiful home on the list, but the AHO’s mobility makes it incredibly useful and unique.
