✦ ESTATES OF SKYRIM COLLECTION ✦
Tundra Homestead - Extra Jobs and Features Add-on
A small house with a field and hives. Now it runs itself.
A nice little home that does nothing.
Tundra Homestead comes with soil, beehives and a kitchen, and all of it waits on you. This add-on makes it matter. It becomes a working estate on Estates of Skyrim, with its own household, its own treasury and people who tend it while you're out in the world.
You need your own copy of the Creation Club's Tundra Homestead. Nothing from it is in this download.
Why you'll want it
Tundra Homestead - Extra Jobs and Features Add-on

Tundra Homestead comes with soil, beehives and a kitchen, and all of it waits on you. This add-on makes it matter. It becomes a working estate on Estates of Skyrim, with its own household, its own treasury and people who tend it while you're out in the world.

Why you'll want it
- A small household that works. Seven posts to fill: Cook, Farm hand, Beekeeper, Woodcutter, Hunter, Guard and Builder.
- They work where you'd expect. The Farm hand in the home's own soil, the Beekeeper at its own hives, the Cook at its kitchen.
- Grow it from nothing. This house has no spare beds, so you start by placing a Staff Shack, then a Bunkhouse as the household grows.
- One screen with the rest. Its books, workers, stores and upgrades sit next to your other estates. Move gold or a worker between them.
- Nothing lost. The home's own quest, soil and hives all still work. Add it to a game you're already playing.

How it works
- It starts by itself when you load a game. Own the home the normal way, through its own quest.
- Open the Estates screen from the Tab menu and place a Staff Shack from Upgrades. That opens the first posts.
- Hire people by talking to them: "I have a position for you at one of my estates." Or use the Hire Position power, or Send word for a worker on the Estates screen.
- Everyone eats, sleeps and works on a real day.
- With the Staff Shack: Cook, Farm hand and Beekeeper.
- With the Staff Shack and a Chopping Block: Woodcutter.
- With the Bunkhouse: Guard. Add a Hunter's Camp for the Hunter, or a Builder's Hut for the Builder.
Build up the homestead
- As an estate it gets Estates of Skyrim's upgrades on its Upgrades tab: stores, a Cook Fire, tools, supply carts and more.
- Place them where you stand, move them later or take them down.
- People you hire aren't essential.
- Food and firewood stores are placed by you on the Stores tab. Until then, every meal is bought.
NEW: SKYRIM KINGS
I'm building a new mod that turns Skyrim into a war and diplomacy game. Every Jarl and lord lives on one realm map, marrying, making allies and going to war, and every day in Skyrim is a day on the map. It's still an early alpha and not out yet, so here's a first look.Want to help test it? Join us on Discord

- Needs Tundra Homestead from the Creation Club.
- Skyrim SE 1.5.97 and AE. Not for VR.
- Built and played in a Nolvus Awakening load order.
Requirements
- Estates of Skyrim, and what it needs.
- Tundra Homestead from the Creation Club.
- MCM Helper and SkyUI, for the menu.
Built and played in a Nolvus Awakening load order. Nolvus users: install it like any other mod.
Install with your mod manager after Estates of Skyrim. The plugin is ESL-flagged, so it doesn't use a load order slot. Safe to install mid-game.
Uninstalling
This is a scripted mod. Don't remove it mid-playthrough. If you must: take down anything you built here on the Estates screen, then use Prepare to uninstall in its MCM, save in an interior, quit and disable the mod.
Also by me

This add-on was built with the help of an AI coding assistant (scripts, records and this page), and the banner art is AI-made. I play it in my own game and fix reports fast, so tell me in the posts if anything's off.
