SSE Hearthfire Home Retexture or Overhaul

[Ravener01]

Greetings,

so I've been playing lately and managed to build all 3 homes from Hearthfire and I couldn't help but notice that they look so boring. The colors are really cold, the walls are white/yellowish and hnnnng. It doesn't feel like a "cozy home". Plus, the 3 houses are exactly the same. Same textures and everything. Logic would be that each house should get it's own feeling, have their difference. Why choose then?

 

I'm really not a modder, otherwise I would have tried to create a mod myself, but I just can't understand how the Creation Kit works.

 

Here's what I'm looking for

>> If each home would have it's own easthetic characteristic. (For example : Lakeview is on the border of a lake, surrounded by trees. It would feel normal to have a house made out of trees. Heljarchen is on a cold/windy plain, surrounded by mines and is near some giant's place, so a more rocky look would be more evident. Tho, I don't know if they share the same files or not.)

 

I just want these houses to look more comfortable and less cold. You can have a stone house look comfortable, but not that yellowish one. I've been through all the houses and retextures pages on the SSE Nexus (and even the Oldrim Nexus) and couldn't find anything like it. All I found was house expansions I really don't need. It's a shame to spend so much time building these and for them to end up looking so plain and cold.

 

For whoever would make this, or find me this (I might have passed over something like that, I've searched for a while), I really thank you for your time.

 

EDIT : I've just noticed a mod I'm using (Skyrim - Whiterun Textures by Katoxivar -- http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/9744/? ) edit's these textures too and give a very very nice effects. So it works marvellously for me. I'm editing so people can know. However, I would still be interested to see other people's work and if they could make them work independently.

I know *exactly* what you mean.... Bethesda did a terrible job with the Hearthfire visuals.

In addition to retextures, you may also find these make a difference:
Improved Hearthfire Lighting

Shezrie's Hearthfire Kitchens and Greenhouses

 

In Classic Skyrim, if I'm going to be building a Hearthfire Home, I won't do so unless the above two mods are installed.
