The Blue Palace has finally received the royal treatment it deserves! This mod completely redesigns the palace's interior, aligning it with its grand exterior and transforming it into a truly regal space. Bethesda may have been a bit lackluster in its original design, but this overhaul ensures the Blue Palace feels like the heart of Solitude's power.
What's New on this version?
This is a significant update from the older V.5 mod. While the last version had its charm, it also had its fair share of bugs and messy edits—growing pains of a first-time modding project. This version fixes those issues, streamlines the edits, and enhances compatibility. However, minor conflicts may still occur with other mods that alter the palace. If you encounter any, drop a comment, and I'll work on a patch!
HIDDEN OPTIONAL FEATURES:
You can change the garden and terrace juniper trees for Ancestor's glade ones by using an invisible activator in the terrace, next to the balcony pillar to the right (check screenshots). You can also activate a platform so you can land with your dragon (in case like me, you use dragon riding to move around the map) The activator is in the terrace, next to the balcony pillar to the left (check screenshots)
KNOWN POSSIBLE ISSUES:
Pelagius's Wing Door misplaced: If you are playing on an existing save and have entered Pelagius's wing already, the old door to the wing will appear the the entrance to the room for exiled jarls. To fix that, look to the scounce in the right column (if you are in front of the door) and activate an invisible activator near this. A new door will be placed in the right spot andyou will be able to access Pelagius's wing again.
Elisif's Throne disappeared: Sometimes Elisif's Throne disappear when entering the palace on existing saves. This bug fixes by itself by leaving the palace and waiting a few days, but if not, let me know :)
Special Thanks:
First of all the modding community who supports my mods and inspire me to do them.
serkethetyt, Elfiemyrtle3, CalebeHC, Mathiew and Monarch for helping me, testing my mod and ponting some issues it had. Thanks for all your help! :D
Hearthfire Multiple Adoptions Compatibility If you marry Elisif, a key to the palace will be added to your inventory, granting you access to move in with your family. Just make sure you have the Multiple Adoptions mod installed and use the Bless Home spell inside the palace to activate this feature.
Restored Pelagius Wing: Complete the quest The Mind of Madness, and speak to Falk Firebeard. He will reopen the Pelagius Wing and offer it to the Dragonborn as a personal retreat while in Solitude.
Invite NPCs to Stay: As Elisif's spouse (or if you simply hold the palace key), you can invite up to 5 NPCs as guests and 5 followers to live in the palace, expanding your court with friends and allies. To invite your followers, you need to complete The Mind of Madness quest and tell Falk you solved the problem in Pelagius's wing. After that, if you have Blue Palace's key in your inventory, you can ask Falk to change Pelagius's wing so you can acomodate your followers.
Interior Overhaul: Every room has been reimagined to match the palace’s grandeur and importance in Skyrim, including:
Centralized Throne Elisif's seat now commands the main hall with true authority.
New Exiled Jarls Wing A space for displaced Jarls, enhancing immersion and lore.
Terrace Addition Admire Solitude’s breathtaking views from a newly added terrace.
Trophy Room Display your victories and treasures in a dedicated area.
Christmas decoration - you can set Christmas decoration in the palace by pressing the buttom next to the fireplace in the back living room
Blue Palace Overhaul v5 - incompatible. Before installing this version, take all the items placed on v5 and install this version
• Mods that change the interior of the palace may not be compatible
• Enhanced light FX: download the patch for it.
• NPC Replacer mods: slight incompatibility; I added packages for the thanes and Elisif to use for the new parts of the palace. If you get black faces on them, you need to place any replacer mod you use AFTER this mod in your load order.
• Any mods that edit the Blue Palace's interior will be incompatible
• Everything else should be compatible.
