Enhanced Interiors
My personal collection of mods, patches and tweaks which overhaul and enhance many of Skyrims interiors.
This is my personal collection of files, mods, merges and tweaks which cumulatively overhaul and enhance the majority of Skyrims most frequented shops, taverns, houses and more. I have cherry picked the best interiors, from the best mods and together they presently enhance 76 cells.
QUICKSTART
loadorder critical, conflicting cells critical, remove conflicting cells in TES5. Works with settes mods, remove WhiterunDragonsreach and/or Whiterundragonsreachjarlsquarters accordingly, plus patch cells. Works with IWillBlechas useless shop mod, new ELFX patch available. PCB console 31 day wait or newgame essential for discovered clutter misplacement. TES5 Cleaned.
REQUIREMENTS
ELFX is an optional requirement for the Enhanced Interiors Taverns plugin. There is a non ELFX version in the comment sticky.
ELFX is a hard requirement for the Aurora Village plugin.
ELFX is a hard requirement for the ELFX/Useless Shop Overhaul patch.
ELFX is NOT a hard requirement for the Enhanced Interiors Radioactive plugin but I urge you to make use of it. I have done a lot of work in this patch and I recommend you use them both as this is how I intended the interiors to look.
ELFX is NOT a hard requirement for the Longhouses plugin but I have done a lot of work in the ELFX plugin and urge you to use it.
SUGGESTED LOAD ORDER
COMPATIBILITY & CUSTOMISATION
Compatible Mods:
This mod is compatible with The Useless Shop and Interior Overhaul. There is also an optional ELFX patch for this mod available in the downloads. This patch is rebuilt completely by myself and is different from the existing file on the nexus in bulb placement, smoke flow and disabling various references.
This mod is compatible with Castles and Palaces Enhanced but you will have to disable the Dragonsreach parts from it, or my mod (Enhanced Radioactive Interiors), to make them compatible. Disable the cells accordingly in TES5EDIT. The affected cells are WhiterunDragonsreach and WhiterunDragonsreachJarlsQuarters. You will have to do the same thing for their respective cells in my ELFX patches.
Incompatible mods:
This mod is incompatible with Uniques shops and stores. However, you can remove conflicting cells in tes5edit from your interior plugins and leave the ones you want, whilst removing the rest. e.g. you really like an interior from unique shops and want to use it in place of one of mine. Remove the cell from my mod, and leave the cell from unique shops.
My taverns plugin is incompatible with Realistic Room Rental, friendlier taverns, bathing in taverns etc. Ask their respective authors to make a patch for you. My mod is also incompatible with Inncredible and Taverns by Jetmouse, as both mods are already fully incorporated.
It has also been reported that Unofficial ELFX SMIM ENB FPS performance patch is incompatible as it blocks the upstairs in the Bee and barb.

Radioactive cells un-modified
I have purposefully excluded cells from the original Radioactive series like Whiteruns Shops as there are other mods that do a better job in my opinion. Same thing for the Blue Palace. I also excluded the main hall from Dragonsreach due to FPS issues, plus imo the vanilla hall looks absolutely fine. I have however included Farengars lab and the Jarls Quarters as they look fab. There are links for these other files below so you can improve these interiors accordingly. To confirm, the Radioactive portion of my mod does not modify Arcadias, Warmaidens, Bannered Mare, Belethors, the Blue Palace or the Drunken Huntsman.
Enhanced Interiors Taverns
As well as modifying cells I also added my own twist to several taverns and added to the lore. You can gain more insight by looking inside the basket in Moorside Inn. As for what you discover…
I also added some things to Frostfruit Inn, as Rorikstead really is a curious little town. As for The Frozen Hearth, I made it that way because I am a gardener, i hate the snow and needed something really enticing to make the trip worth my while. And yes, those empty-ish Skooma bottles have fertilised that vine.
In many of the other Inns I have placed objects that hint at the games major story lines etc, let me know your thoughts in the comments.
