Prolific Nexus Mods user Elianora developed the new “Home in a Hat” mod forSkyrim, which is a magic hat that acts asanother home for the Dragonborn. Similar toGenshin Impact’sSerenitea Pot,Skyrimplayers have access to a home located in a pocket dimension outside the game’s native world. When the Home in a Hat mod is installed, players gain the “Ancient Wizard Hat” in their inventory. After equipping the Ancient Wizard Hat from the Armor menu,Skyrimplayers will be teleported into their new Haven Bag-inspired home. Within the home, players have access to crafting stations, a mirror to alter the Dragonborn’s appearance, storage chests, and much more.
To exit the Home in a Hat, players may simply unequip the Ancient Wizard Hat by visiting the Armor menu once more. Unequipping the magic hat will teleport the player back to where they were last located inSkyrim. The new magic hat mod uses Ayleid ruin assets fromSkyrim Anniversary Editionaccording to Elianora, so players should own the latest edition of the game or have the latest update installed prior to installing the mod. The latest update should ensure full compatibility with the Home in a Hat mod.
Elianora’s magic hat mod is a really convenient addition to the enormous mod selection available forSkyrimat Nexus Mods. The mod allows for additional storage space through the use of another home without having to teleport to majorSkyrimtowns like Whiterun or Riften. At the same time, the Home in a Hat gives the Dragonborn a nice place to rest before continuing to journey across the region. Mods like Home in a Hat gives players another reason to revisitSkyrimwhile waiting for thelong-awaitedElder Scrolls 6.
A nearly limitless collection of mods are available now at Nexus Mods, includingvaluable mods for stealthySkyrimarchers. New mods continue to be released and updated in 2023 asSkyrimapproaches its 12th anniversary later in November.
