Completely friendly overhaul of Hjerim in Windhelm
2337/5000 IMPORTANT NOTE (At least read this article!)
Since Hjerim was used for the 'Blood on Ice' quest I didn't want to change the original house at all, so I added a way to activate my version of the house after purchase:
- Buy the house from the housekeeper as usual, with the decoration option "Clean up that killer's mess". Don't buy any other
Decoration.
- Enter the house - there will be a button on the wall by the front door.
- Press the button - it will disappear after activation.
- Leave and re-enter the house.
This is best used in games where you haven't decorated a house yet - if you have, the button should still show up and everything should work, but I haven't tested that yet.
feature
- Crafting: Baking Pot, Oven, Alchemy Laboratory and Magician. There is no blacksmith crafting station, but I added a chest at the Windhelm blacksmith that is connected to the "Smithing Supplies" storage in the house so you don't have to carry all the materials back and forth.
- bathroom with bathtub for guests to take a bath
- Rooms at Housecarl are furnished with a bed
- Spare bedroom for 3 fans or 6 children. Use the button next to the bedroom door to switch between the two options. You will need Hearthfire Multiple Adoptions to move your children/spouse.
compatibility
I didn't touch anything outside the house other than adding a chest to the blacksmith, so it should be compatible with any Windhelm overhaul. At worst, there might be chest-forging cuts, but nothing that will break your game. Definitely compatible with Dawn of Skyrim since I use that mod. It should be compatible with Open Cities, but you won't have smith chests.
Load this model before opening the city and after any lighting overhaul you are using.

Important Note (at least read this!)
Because Hjerim is used for the 'Blood on the Ice' quest I didn't want to alter the original house at all, so I added a way to activate my version of the house after purchase:
- Purchase the house as usual from the steward, and the decoration option "Clean up that killer's mess". Do not purchase any other
decorations.
- Enter the house - there will be a button on the wall by the front door.
- Push the button - it will disappear after you activate it.
- Leave and re-enter the house.
This is best used on a playthrough where you have not already decorated the house - if you have, the button should still show up and everything should work, but I haven't tested it.
Features
- Crafting: cookpot, oven, alchemy lab and enchanter. There are no blacksmith crafting stations but I added a chest at the Windhelm blacksmith that is linked to the "Smithing Supplies" storage in the house so you won't have to cart all of your materials back and forth.
- A bathroom with a tub for bathing mods
- Housecarl's room with one bed
- Spare bedroom that can hold either 3 followers or 6 kids. Use the button next to the bedroom door to toggle between the two options. You will need Hearthfire Multiple Adoptions to move your kids/spouse in.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
