Thief player home in Riften Canal
Collectors WELCOME! A small weekend project, made it when my character needed a new house. I wanted to live in Riften and fell in love with the apartments in the canal. All workstations (sans staff maker), unique item display galore, custom storage, all that good stuff! Compatible with most Riften mods and Open Cities.
od works as intended, so don’t expect any updates.
I don’t develop old mods any more.
Follow me on social media for WIP pics and stuff-stuff:

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED MOD: Musical Lore (Soundtrack Mod By Nir Shor) <- Changes MUSTestTown which is used in this house. You will get epic new background music For NPCs (like spouses) to sandbox around the house properly, use this mod. Mod adds a small apartment (copy of Elgrim’s Elixirs) into the Riften Canals. Originally created for my thief character, if you don’t mind the thief-ish atmosphere, anyone can use it. But there’s a catch. The key is in a satchel on your night table in the Guild headquarters. As of version 1.5 the house also has a small nook for a vampire coffin. MY character went Vampire Lordy this week so she needed a place to boost her night monster powers >:) If you don’t like the coffin, just keep the panel closed. If you want the coffin, leave the panel open.
:: REQUIREMENTS ::
– Skyrim up to date
– Dawnguard.esm
– Hearthfires.esm
– Dragonborn.esm
:: KNOWN ISSUES ::
– Weird texture glitches for vanilla Delvin armour/Face sculptor’s robes. No idea how to fix.
– Small clipping with cupboards and clutter
– Lighting is designed for ENB so it might be a bit boring on vanilla
Location: Next to Beggar’s Row
Key: In a satchel at the Thieves Guild HQ (next to your assigned bed)
:: FEATURES ::
– Navmeshed so followers/spouse can navigate
– Double bed gives spouse or well rested bonus, vampire coffin that gives vampire bonus
– Crafting facilities: Alchemy, enchanting, baking, cooking, all smithing
– Disenchanting font that resets player created items (enchants and smithing improvements)
– Tons of custom named storage
– Secret room full of unique item display from dragonpriest masks to Elder Scrolls to Daedric artefacts
– Two large bookshelves
– 6 mannequins and some weapon display
– My signature wardrobe with cool armour storage
– Respawnable garden outside (mainly focuses on restore and invisibility ingredients)
– Sewer access to Ragged Flagon
:: GENERAL ::
– Choose between the two versions; Female or male armours
– None of the storage INSIDE will respawn. All storage is safe but OUTSIDE MAY RESPAWN.
– No family or follower beds, and never will be. The house is compatible with TMPhoenix’s multiple adoptions mod, mainly because I wanted to have the option to tell a spouse to move there. The children markers and beds are hidden outside the walls in “the void”
– Decor is locked in place so that I don’t knock stuff over
– Cleaned and hand-polished (wild edits removed etc.) with TES5Edit.
– I put a static set of Nightingale weapons and armour for display because I use these items and can’t have them collecting dust and mold in the sewers, but I still want to display my Nightingale pride in my home 🙂
– I know the weapon racks misbehave, this is a vanilla issue with angles and activators. Some racks accept war axes and great swords better than others. You’ll figure it out.
– Load after any other mods that change Riften city
I made this as a weekend project for myself and my new char, so I will not be taking any requests or adding stuff other people want. This is made the way I want it, my house of perfection, and I will only fix bugs and make personal improvements which I will upload here.
:: COMPATIBILITY ::
Should be pretty compatible with other modded Riften player homes
Designed with Better Riften in mind, but confirmed to work with Dawn of Riften and Riften – Thief Edition.
Compatible with Interesting NPC’s (that mod adds a shop in the Canals)
Now works with Open Cities: Get your patch here (Still in testing)
