Elysium Estate 5.0 is a mid-sized, lore friendly home located near Whiterun for you, or with family and followers. Full of foliage, fountains, features to customize, optional displays, crafting and plenty more. Now includes voiced introductory quest!

You can find an informative PDF guide for version 5.0 in the Files section. Below is supplementary information.



COMPLIMENTARY MODS

Spouse, Followers and Kids:
  • Hearthfire multiple adoptions - This mod allows you to move in your spouse and kids. Download this mod and install along with Elysium Estate. Enter the interior of Elysium Estate, and use the Book of Elysium - Interior to enable the kids room (replaces large followers room). Cast the spell "Bless Home". Now adopt a kid and tell them to move into your new home.
  • My Home Is Your Home - MHIYH lets you move your followers into Elysium Estate. You can assign them work and sleep areas. Can work alongside spouse/kids mods.
  • Multiple Floors Sandboxing - This mod allows your followers to move more freely around home interiors. Highly recommended.

Automatic Storage
I don’t offer automatic storage in Elysium. I have never found a scripted version I cared for, don’t like the complication of bugs and losing items, and know that automatic storage isn’t for everyone. However, there are some mods below that work with Elysium Estate and will give you automatic storage…it just takes a bit of setup. I personally use Automatic Item Storage.




COMPATIBILITY

Please note if I don't mention a mod here, it still may or may not be compatible...but I have personally tested the below mods. If I don't list the mod you are concerned about, try loading Elysium Estate before or after the mod.
  • Noble Skyrim Mod texture overhaul darkens most of Skyrim, including Elysium Estate. Elysium Estate interiors are too dark when using Noble Skyrim mod.
  • The People of Skyrim Complete Classic Version - Load Elysium Estate AFTER this mod. Has a few landscape lines but nothing worth me patching. (Note that loading ElysiumEstate.esp before TPOS can cause crashes and major landscape issues).
  • The Great Forest of Whiterun Hold - Visit The Great Forest of Whiterun Hold Nexus page for information on load order when using with Elysium Estate.

















SUPPORT FOR OLD VERSIONS BELOW




Open spoiler to view. This section is specifically for version 4.3.5. I do not support this version anymore and there may be bugs or issues. But some people still prefer it, so here is some information

Spoiler:  
Show

4.3.5 ACCESS
Located southwest of Whiterun, Elysium Estate is locked upon arrival. You must go to the garden (to the right of the front door) and harvest the key from the shrine. There are three entrances to the main house, one basement access behind the house and a separate guest house entrance near the hot springs.

4.1.1 to 4.3.5 UPDATES
View all changes for each version in the 'Changes' log
If updating from 4.3.4 to 4.3.5, you do not have to remove all items and perform a clean save.
If updating from versions before 4.3.4 to 4.3.5, you DO need to remove all items and perform a clean save (more info below in support).

4.3.5 FEATURES
  • Labeled Storage for organization (all containers safe, no respawn). Interior zones are "NoResetZones". Navmeshed interior and exterior.
  • Because Elysium Estate does not offer automatic storage, I have created linked storage instead. If a container has "- Linked" on its label, it links to another container in the home or exterior of the same name. (Example: “Ingredients – Linked” can be accessed from any other labels that also say ‘Ingredients – Linked” elsewhere.) I have placed these strategically around the home for convenience.
  • Using the Books of Elysium in the home allows you to toggle on/off certain features (1 book inside main entrance, 3 in the basement, 1 in the loft)
    Exterior Highlights
  • Outside lanterns respond to day/night cycles
  • Drop-Off chest outside that links to two interior chests (one inside main entrance and 1 in the basement)

  • Cow and goat pen and hen house - custom markers keep the animals active throughout the day and sleeping at night
  • Medium-sized horse stables w/ horse marker
  • Private porch with hot springs
  • Turn on/off fire pit
  • Chimney smoke toggles on/off depending on state of fireplaces inside
  • Milk your cow daily for milk (uses Berts Hearthfire Dairy Goods Upgrade)
  • Use your milk to make butter with the butter churn
  • Enable/disable 18 empty planter plots 
  • Guest house for your followers
    Interior Highlights
  • Sell and drop-off chest near main entry
  • Window lights respond to day/night cycles
  • Companions remove clothes when entering spas and re-equip clothes when exiting
  • Kitchen with cooking spit, oven and storage
  • Dining area fountain, seating and a dining table 
  • Using activators in the kitchen, serve 1-8 meals, serve drinks and change centerpiece
  • Followers or Kids room for 4 and a beautiful spa
  • Housecarl room
  • Dovahkin's study/library with desk, 8 bookshelves, and optional display for Elder Scrolls and Black Books
  • Dovahkin's bedroom with fireplace, a custom Amulets of the Nine Divines display
  • Choose from different armors and weapons to display in the bedroom
  • Dovahkin's private spa with perfume/cologne bottles (adds a temporary bonus of +20 to Speechcraft)
  • Visit the loft for treasures display, and an optional vampire or werewolf area
    Basement Highlights
  • Beautiful alchemy station and enchanting station with all shrines, and display for azura's star/black star/paragons
  • Treasury room with Dragon Priest Mask display, Dragon Claw display and various weapon and shield racks
  • Enable/disable 0, 8 or 16 mannequins in the treasury room
  • Enable/disable Daedric artifacts display in the treasury room
  • Enable/disable Dawnguard and Dragonborn display in the treasury room
  • Crafting room with forge, smelter, workbench, grindstone, tanning rack, staff enchanter and plenty of storage


4.3.5 INSTALLATION AND SUPPORT
INSTALL
(Requires Dawnguard+Hearthfires+Dragonborn DLCs)
1. Download Elysium Estate 4.3.5
2. Extract all Elysium Estate files found in Data to your game's Data folder (or use a download manager such as MO or NMM).

FAMILY AND KIDS
IF you want kids to live in this custom home, You MUST also download Hearthfire multiple adoptions.
1. Install Elysium Estate and HMA
2. Go to the dining room of Elysium Estate and open the Elysium Estate Options book. Click "Followers/Kids" and enable the kids room. Then cast the spell "Bless This Home" from HMA. Only then will HMA allow you to move your kids in. Now go find your kids and ask them to move to your new home. You can also move your spouse in.
3. Disabling the kids room in Elysium Estate after you moved your kids in *could* cause bugs.
4. Custom Family Home has also been reported to work.

UPDATING FROM OLDER VERSIONS
If updating from an older version of Elysium Estate in an existing game, you need to make a clean save. I do no guarantee the result of the below instructions.
1. Remove ALL items from displays and storage in Elysium Estate. Remove followers and kids to another home temporarily.
2. Follow this easy guide...which should work: Guide 1.
3. Or follow this extensive guide if you want to go overkill: Guide 2.
