Have you ever wanted to build your own home? To choose your own rooms? To customize the layout and look of your manor? Inspired by the Skyrim DLC of the same name, today's Mod of the Day gives you exactly that, the ability to build and customize your own player home, for today we're showcasing Hearthfire - Morrowind by Soul-O-Eater.
With this mod, you'll be able to build your own manor, atop a new private island in the Azura's Coast, where you'll get to decide which rooms to add to your abode. With some 24 different room types, and only 8 room slots per manor, no player home will look exactly the same, and each room offers different types of functionality.
You could add a dining room, a master bedroom, quarters for your guards, a dungeon for your enemies, a vault for your most treasured of possessions, a trophy hall for your shiniest loot, a library for your hordes of books, or a training room to hone your skills.
But these rooms aren't just cosmetic, several of them offer scripted features, like a summoning room with four different configurations, each of which will allow you to summon different types of creatures. Or an alchemy lab, an enchanting room, an arcanium, and a teleport chamber for all your sorcery needs.
Or a tomb in a three different styles where you can practice necromancy. Or a Dwemer Research Laboratory where you can build your own Dwemer centurions, craft power armor, and more. Or a smithy, where you can forge weapons and armor, and repair your gear. Or a shrine dedicated to any one of the Nine Divines or the Daedra or the Tribunal or even the Sixth House.
Or a kitchen or a... Well, you get the idea, Hearthfire is full of features, with tons of customizable options, built entirely in vanilla Morrowind script, and it's one of the most exciting player homes to be released in 2023!
