Can't find a house (west of Whiterun)

[_Ayelet_]

Hi everyone,
I've been playing at skyrim for quite a while on another computer, and I had a great house on the west of Whiterun, near the road.
It was huge, in two parts, was very organized ... And I can't find it anymore. I've searched for hours on various websites :/
Would anyone have any idea ?

Was it Elysium estate? https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/4119

No it wasn't, but I gotta admit This one looks nice as weel. I'm just so frustrated my mind cannot accept any other home xD

[_Ayelet_]

FINALLY I found it, it was Windwalker's Whiterun Homestead... Though I don't know yet how to add it to this version of skyrim. Thanks anyway :)

It's a creation club house. Paid officail mod from bethesda. Do you have Anniversary Edition DLC? It's part of it. Or you can buy it separately.

You can't use mods for Skyrim with Skyrim SE.

May be someone can tell something else. I am no expert about modding.

I can recommend Elysium Estate. I’ve been using it for awhile now and I’ve come to compare any house mod to it in terms of quality.

Perfect size, great decor, various customization options for the exterior and interior (nothing major but you can swap around some things), lots of storage, easy exterior drop offs linked to interior chests, all crafting stations except the spider one, room for numerous followers and children too (I believe), and one of the best display/trophy areas I’ve seen in a house mod (it’s just a shame it doesn’t have spots for EVERY unique weapon).

The only issue I’ve had with it is that once you’ve filled it up with lots of stuff, it can start to act funky - for example I had a randomly spawning book drop on the entryway floor every time I entered the house, and a it would also sometimes copy one or two weapons I had on display and drop the copies on the floor when entering the basement.

It can also start really lagging when it’s filled with stuff, you have high settings, and you’ve got lighting and other such mods going (though this only happened in one of my games using it out of a couple different saves).

Other ones you could look at are Skyfall Estate and TNF Breezehome.

I have not personally used Skyfall Estate but it looks pretty robust. I did recentky try TNF Breezehome and was actually pleasantly surprised at how much more functional and better it made Breezehome. It’s not as detailed or as extensive as Elysium Estate or Skyfall Estate, but it’s a worthwhile upgrade to everyone’s first, and usually ignored/abandoned, available player home.

@^ Seconded, I love Elysium Estate. The trophy room is a sight when filled up.

That all depends on the mod. There are some that came out during the earliest versions of oldrim that still work perfectly fine in SE and AE.

It really is, I have yet to see a home mod that surpasses it in both visual design/layout AND the amount of unique items/weapons that can be displayed. I think the only things it’s missing are maybe 1/4th or less of the obtainable unique weapons (example: Bolar’s Oathblade).

It’s a shame that the mod maker didn’t branch out into other projects or make other homes.

Another question : will using this mod (elysium) disable all achievments ? That'd be a shame, I don't think it did in the other version of Skyrim.
