Hey guys!
I'm currently looking for a player home that is a fortress. I'm already searching all over the nexus but can't hurt to ask around here, maybe someone knows a mod I haven't discovered yet.
It should be:
- a fort / fortress or at least a bit fortified
- with room for followers
- NOT luxurious (most mods I have found so far look way too expensive, clean and luxuriously furnished for the playthrough I have in mind, I want it to look abandoned and shabby)
- somewhere in the north-eastern region of Skyrim (optional)

So basically, a fort like the vanilla ones but as player home.

Yay! Thanks.

So my curiosity was piqued and I went in to play with creation kit. Only have outside ideas so far, but would something like this be too extravagant? I was thinking about replacing some parts of the wall with rubble, but how knows what it will morph into in the end?

Wow, this looks really really cool! A bit more rubble would fit very nicely, it would make the place look older and like it has history.

So I've discovered that, even with snap guides on, some parts of different static kits simply will not play nicely with each other. This may take a little while.

I've got the basic interior design now, walls, floor, steps, etc. Unfortunately, the tower kit doesn't want to merge with the hall or room kits, and the stairs won't mesh with the room kit either, so the entire interior is built using hall pieces. This has ruled out a rounded interior for the inside of the tower base. That being said, here are a couple of exteriors. The gate door is going to have to be different, too, as it's only a load door and won't fully open.

I'll keep playing with this as I can, and see what happens.

When in doubt, follow the fox.
I bought a fort in wyrmstooth. I also fortressed my hearthfire homes.
