Looking for a good castle home.

Post » Tue Jul 10, 2012 5:16 pm

Hey guys, for awhile now I've been looking through some castle home mods on the Nexus, and while there are quite a few that look nice, they are either very buggy or have some other assorted problems with quality. I'm wondering if anyone here has seen any good ones that they may recommend for me. I don't have very stringent requirements as far as location or features, just something that looks nice and works very well.

Thanks guys :)

It might not be a castle but http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/14152 by WillieSea is worth taking a look at. And I second Deus Mons. A wonderful mod.

I'll check out Deus Mons but I didn't particularly like Castle Grey, there were a lot of problems with seams and z-fighting all over the walls. It was beautiful though.

EDIT: Which of those two "fix" esps do you recommend?

Deus Mons is very much to my taste, but I've found it to be causing some CTDs. It seems to be a little outdated, not to mention unfathomably dark. I could add in lights with the CK, but I dunno. I'll look at what else is available.

@shalani, I really like the look of your mod, and I will certainly check it out when you get a little closer to finishing it. :)

Dude you have no idea HOW LONG i have been trying to find a decent castle-home where I can display my items that doesn't have a million mod-conflict issues and ctd issues.
Castle Grey has a HUGE number of ctd issues (the mod author also seems to be super MIA. Hasn't updated in a long time).
King of Riverhelm creates a coloned instance of whiterun and modifies it as a means to create the home. This leads to horrible ctd issues and mod conflicts with any mod that involves Whiterun.
I will look into Deus Mons and see if it works.
Best of luck people in finding dat castle.
