By far my favorite house mod for Morrowind was the beautiful Asgard 3.3 by the late, great Grumpy. After failing to find a house mod that felt as nice as Asgard I set out to recreate the house using Skyrim assets. The result was Asgard Reborn, a labor of love that took over a year for me to create and make it feel like it lived up to the majesty of Grumpy's Asgard. The house is located just north of Riverwood on a new road. Please enjoy and explore to your hearts content!


Features
-A large house that dwarfs anything in the vanilla game, but with enough shortcuts to avoid feeling "too big."

-Fully functional for all the followers you may collect during your adventures.

-No static containers! Every container you see is fully functional, leaving the player with around 500 storage options.

-Over 300 weapon racks, mannequins and display cases (mostly located in the armory)

-Forge, smelter, tanning rack, alchemy labs, enchanting tables and cooking spits are all available.

-Soap!

-A study with plenty of bookshelf space.

-Hearthfire compatible! Children and spouses should be able to live there happily. (Hearthfire Multiple Adoptions by TMPhoenix strongly recommended! May not work right without it!)

-Working baths!

-Ingredient gardens with most reagents in the vanilla game.

-Ingredient jars for easy reagent storage!

-Potion racks for easy display of your potions and booze!

-Dawnguard and Dragonborn versions include additional ingredient jars and scripts for the potion racks.

Recommended mods to use with Asgard

Hearthfire Multiple Adoptions by TMPhoenix: Allows for up to 6 kids to get adopted and live in the house. Asgard was built with this mod in mind, so it's highly recommended, though not required.

Unlimited Bookshelves by da5id2701: Allows bookshelves to be used for many things, in addition to improving the default spacing of the bookshelf placement of books.

Decorator Assistant - SKSE and Vanilla Versions by fg109: Makes placing those hard-to-place items that refuse to work with the havok physics a much less tedious process.

This is my first published work and there may still be bugs that I've missed. Please shoot me a PM if you find any and I'll do my best to fix them.

Future Updates
I plan to include Ingred, Beth, Vira and Atheri, the NPCs that grumpy had originally placed in the house at some point in the future, I won't do this until I can find 1-4 voice actresses that can record at least decent sound. If anyone is interested in this, please shoot me a PM and I'll send over the dialog.

Also any fancy scripting features such as auto-sorting for the alchemy jars and auto-stripping for the baths would be awesome, I just need to learn how to script first. ;P If anybody has any ideas on what to add and how to do it please let me know!

Special thanks:

Grumpy for the inspiration and all the wonderfull contributions he made to the modding community.

Emma for taking on the hosting of all of Grumpy's work.

Insanity for the rugs, soap and dividers.

Pheo3309 for the ingredient jars.

TMPhoenix for his work on Hearthfire multiple adoptions

Ghaunadaur for his help with his potion rack resource

Tamb0 for his help with getting the LOD right

This mod has been a long time coming and some of you might remember all the incessant questions I was asking here during it's development, so a big thank you goes out to all of you on the forums who helped me out!
