Skyrim Mod: SeaPoint Settlement

Hello and welcome to BroDuel.

This time we have the Seapoint Settlement.
This is a mod that adds a new location to the game.

We used to see quite a few mods like this
in the first year or two of Skyrim modding.

There were mods like Corners of Skyrim,
the mini-zoo mod, and a few others that

added new locations that were
mainly just for exploration.

The Seapoint Settlement is similar to
those in that it doesn't come with a

major storyline or dozens of voice acted NPCs.

But instead it adds a bit of originality
and exploration to an otherwise empty area.

You can find the settlement in the North-East
of the map and where you'd usually find

just a bunch of trees you'll now find the circular village.

The people living there seem to be mostly self-serving

and each NPC has their own role,

whether they're a cook, a blacksmith, or working in the stable.

They also cater to any adventurers that
pass by with several stalls including

a bakery, smithy, general store, and more.

These buildings were all separately
designed to match their role but

they all follow a similar theme.

The mod also makes great use of customatics

and unique bits and pieces to make the
interiors really stand out.

It's almost like the stores have been
overhauled by the

Skyrim Radioactive mod
we covered the other day.

As you'd expect, all of the NPCs come
with realistic schedules.

So they'll work during the day, rest at
the inn in the afternoon and

go home to sleep at night.

Every two weeks, certain travelling merchants
will also switch out so there should be

something different if you revisit
later down the line.

Other buildings include an inn and a
lighthouse, both of which are owned by

an NPC called Bernee Falken.

She used to live in the Seaview Lodge but
now lives in the lighthouse so her old home

is for sale if you want to buy
a home in the settlement.

Bernee also comes with some basic
voice acting and if you buy the home

she'll let you upgrade it in a similar way
to the vanilla homes.

The inside of the lodge is designed in a
similar way to the other buildings at

the settlement and it comes with a variety
of helpful rooms, including a kid's room

for any of your adopted children.

There's also a few extra little touches
that are just nice to look at or

interact with like customatics in the form
of paintings or a functional shower.

You can also purchase blankets from a
local merchant to customize your own bed.

The mod also makes use of Hearthfire
features, allowing you to maintain your

own farm, so you can milk your goat, collect
chicken eggs, and plant an entire garden.

And finally to complete the home you can
buy an out-house for up to four of your

followers to live, which can also be
customized using one of three themes.

We really don't want to spoil everything
so we've left a few smaller details out.

There's definitely a lot of attention to
detail and there's some extra smaller

things that'll make you glad
you explored the area.

When you install the mod you'll get to
choose between two different versions:

One that comes with custom music
and one that doesn't.

This will mostly come down to personal
preference but it's definitely of high quality

and we think it fits in well.

The mod was released a few months ago
and since then the author has cleaned it up

a lot and improved its performance dramatically.

So if you tried it out in the past but had
issues with lag then we can confirm

it's definitely fixed.

In terms of compatibility you shouldn't
have any issues whatsoever.

In fact, another major drawing point for
the mod is that the recent boat player home

"Serenity" actually comes with a patch that
lets you dock the boat just outside the settlement.

If you haven't heard of Serenity you'll
be able to see it in a video on our

BDmods channel tomorrow but it's basically
another great home by Elianora who

brought us the Khune home and many others.

Overall the Seapoint Settlement isn't
something you'd necessarily want to

rush to straight away but installing it
at the start of a play-through and then

randomly stumbling upon it will
make for a nice surprise.

So if you're interested in any of the two
mods mentioned in today's video then you

And as always, be sure to leave an
endorsement on any mod you enjoy,

and thanks for watching.
