 Installation

Elysium Estate requires Dawnguard, Hearthfires and Dragonborn,

as well as the latest version of Skyrim.

1. You can find downloads for Elysium Estate at the Nexus for both
versions of PC Skyrim.
• Elysium Estate
• Elysium Estate SSE

2. Download from the Main Files section for an all-in-one esp. You
can use a Mod Manager of your choice to download and install
Elysium Estate. Elysium Estate comes packed in a BSA format.

3. After installing, I suggest running LOOT to sort your load order.

Elysium Estate doesn’t have to be at the bottom, but if you run
into any compatibility bugs with other mods, trying loading
Elysium Estate below other mods to resolve any issues. If there are
still issues, leave me a message about creating a possible
compatibility patch.

 Updating Mod

Updating to the newest version of Elysium Estate on an existing

save game can be buggy. Activators, scripts, meshes and other
data can sometime stick around in save games after updating.
Here are a few tips to help mitigate those bugs.

Try a Clean Save:

If updating from an older version of Elysium Estate in an existing
save game, you need to make a clean save. I do not guarantee
the results of the below instructions.

1. Remove ALL items from displays and storage in Elysium Estate.

Remove followers and kids to another home temporarily.

2. Perform a clean save. Here is an extensive guide. Or Google

“Skyrim clean save” for more information.

Try a Fresh Game:

Updating mods can be an issue for mod authors and users.
Sometimes old save data is stuck in your save, and sometimes
changes I make to the mod just won’t show up on your end even
if you are using the latest version. If clean saves do not do the
trick, try a fresh game with Elysium Estate. Make sure you update
bashed patches too.

 Compatibility

Elysium Estate should be compatible with most mods, except for

those that affect the same cell space. If you want to use a mod
that affects the same cell space as Elysium Estate, you may run
into conflicts. One way to solve these conflicts is with load order.
Try loading Elysium Estate above or below the conflicting mod to
see if that fixes the issues.

If it doesn't, you can contact me about making a potential

patch, or check either the Elysium Estate Nexus, or search on the
Nexus for a patch someone else has made and uploaded. I can't
guarantee a patch will be made for all conflicting mods.

Making Patches for Elysium Estate:

Elysium Estate affects the following exterior cells. Exterior navmesh
is VERY particular. If you are creating a patch for Elysium, any
exterior navmesh edits, changes, updates etc will cause errors in
TES5Edit and cause follower issues. Exterior patches should be run
by me to make sure no errors exist. Or clean it with Tes5edit, and if
no errors show up, you are good to go.

 Getting Started

Follow the road west from Whiterun and you will come upon
Elysium Estate. Version 5.0 now includes a voiced quest that will
introduce you to the home. You can start the quest by talking to
the ghost in the front yard. Complete 2 objectives and afterwards
you will be given a key to unlock the house.

Elysium Estate consists of the exterior grounds, house interior and

basement. There are many unique displays, storage containers,
scripts and activators in the house. Read below for an in-depth
guide that explains most of the features.

 Features

Books of Elysium
Elysium Estate features three blue activator books; one located
near the shrine of Kynareth in the garden outside, one inside the
master bedroom and one in the basement. Each book has
different options that edit their respective cells. These books are
meant to help you customize your home by toggling displays,
objects or scripts.

Linked Storage
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.

Automatic Storage (Not Included)

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.

Kids and Followers
Hearthfire multiple adoptions or Hearthfire multiple adoptions SSE
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 or My Home Is Your Home SSE

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 or Multiple Floors Sandboxing SSE

This mod allows your followers to move more freely around home
interiors. Highly recommended.

Drop-Off Chest
There are 4 drop-off chests in the mod; one outside in the garden
near the front door, one in the dining room, one in the master
bedroom and one in the basement. These chests are all linked, so
if you store items in one, you can find them in any of the other
drop-off chests.

Dynamic Lights and Chimney

Chimney smoke toggles on/off depending on the state of
fireplaces inside. Window lights inside and exterior lights respond
to day/night cycles. You can also turn on/off lights in the
bedrooms by clicking on the ceiling lanterns.

By thejadeshadow Updated 2/12/2018

Spa and Hot Springs
Followers and kids remove clothes when entering spas and re-
equip clothes when exiting. This feature can be toggled in the
Book of Elysium (House).

Storage Display Chests

When you store an item on a display activator, that item is stored
in a corresponding chest. For instance, Oddities display items are
stored in the Oddities Display Storage. You can take your items
from the display storage container instead of having to
individually grab each item off an activator. Note that in the
basement, most items have their own individual named storage
containers. In the house interior, there is one chest underneath
the master bedroom desk, called “The House and Exterior Display
Storage” which stores all the items in the house interior and
exterior.

Exterior Highlights

plants. It takes 10 days (240 hours) to respawn plants outside.

Floating Grass Fix:

This is a common Skyrim problem. Go to this page for help:

Lighting Issues:
Is Elysium Estate too dark or too bright? Without mods, Elysium
Estate is adjusted properly for lighting….but there are endless
lighting and enb mods that might make the interior too dark or
too light. The only ‘fix’ for this is for you to find a lighting mod that
works with Elysium Estate.
