Windows of Skyrim - A Thief's Entrance

This mod aims to add functionality to the windows in Skyrim, allowing you to access buildings in ways far stealthier than before. Currently, it covers all the buildings in and surrounding the city of Solitude. I'm looking for suggestions which cities to focus on next. It is my intention to release this mod for PC Classic, PC Special Edition, PS4, and Xbox. I will be updating this topic as my mod gets bigger. Please give feedback, suggestions, ideas.

realistically, some of those windows are too small to fit through.

 

I'm aware. Unfortunately, most interiors do not match with their exteriors. A building can have ten windows on the inside and none on the outside, or the other way around. In every case the most logical windows were chosen while still giving every building one or two window entrances. The floor level windows that can be opened are usually locked pretty good, whereas the ones requiring acrobatics are relatively simple to open.

I agree with them that the idea is wonderful. With some good sneak mods, this could be very cool. Maybe some quests that revolve on sneaking in and stealing stuff, obtaining information, overhearing conversations, or assassinations would be a nice compliment!

I'm planning to create a basis that is simply access to the windows, and a modular plugin that adds quests. I've something in mind that will be compatible on all platforms including the PS4. I'm hoping to create a thief persona whose background and motives will be contained within notes, leading you (the player) deeper within his labyrinth of windows. Not sure whether he is alive or will have already died. The rewards will be rather vanilla, as they'll simply be the keys to the windows... but depending on your mod setup it could be extremely rewarding to gain access to someone else's house.

 

The other day while play testing I had snuck into one of the windows in Solitude. Unnoticed, I sat upstairs when two NPCs started a conversation about trading with the stormcloak rebels. That is treason obviously, considering Solitude is alligned with the Imperials. I had never heard the conversation during normal play before so it was rather curious it happened while I was trespassing upstairs.

 

 

Status update: Solitude done, Riverwood done, Whiterun half-done. Riften coming up next.
