The Treasure of Riverwood Manor

The Treasure of Riverwood Manor

This is a mod for the game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition and features some player homes near Riverwood for beginners, a treasure hunt, new quests, unique NPCs and followers, powerful equipment, weapons, spells, several Easter eggs and many more.

Player Homes

A small Player Home near Riverwood with everything you need for a good start. The estate contains things like forge, workbench, smelter, grain mill, garden with fertile soils for planting, an oven, a functional butterchurn for homemade butter as well as training dummies with which you can improve your skills and much more.

The house is fully Hearthfire compatible, which means your whole family can move in, but you need to install the MOD Hearthfire Multiple Adoptions for this to work, which is optional. If you don't want your family to move in, you don't need to install that mod.

A Second Player Home has been added in mod version 1.9 and is located in the Sewers of Riverwood Manor.

Quests

The mod contains several Quests:

NPCs and Creatures

Many NPCs and creatures, such as merchants, trainers, followers and opponents have been added. See NPCs and Creatures.

Equipment and Weapons

The mod contains powerful Equipment, Weapons and Spells which are optimal for end game or higher difficulties. Beginners will profit massively from new gear provided that they manage to find the treasure and other goodies.

Spells

Many new powerful Spells have been added. You can find them on the treasure hunt as well in treasure chests scattered all over the area.

Books

Several Books and Notes have been added in this mod. Some of them will provide some interesting background stories. Many notes are scattered all over the place containing useful hints related to the treasure hunt. Make sure you read them all.

Ingredients and Potions

There are some new Ingredients and powerful Potions that you can find. Some of these can also be purchased from merchants.

The entrance to the Ice Grotto

Gameplay

Includes a fix for the annoying noises that play when entering a room with enchanted weapons displayed on weapon racks. This is global and should work for any home the player owns.
