Description
Overview

A quality dungeon and house mod that greatly expands the College Midden, with minimal changes to existing areas. A new lore-friendly player home serves as a hub for new dungeons. Should be fully compatible with most mods; SSE Version. 100% compatible with Immersive College of Winterhold!

UPDATE:
I've just released a new small update (v1.07) to fix a few user-reported bugs. See the patch notes for detils.

The quest has bugged for me and won't complete despite doing the whole thing; what's the quest ID so i can remove it from my log?

One of my top 5 favorite skyrim mods, works great alongside Improved College of winterhold.

Oh, and another little issue. Can't seem to find a cooking pot anywhere. I have mods that let me address this, but would have preferred not to have to use them, and leaving my home just to cook the food I need to survive seems kinda weird.

I feel like (or rather, are really hoping) that I'm missing something with the hatchery. Is it truly just an area to loot and forget? I was really looking forward to using it to actually hatch things when I saw it listed as a feature of the player home.

Is the Silver Claw supposed to be a red herring? It doesn't work

This is a really, REALLY amazing mod that implies a lot of backstory to the college that really needed to be in game. Winterhold suddenly felt like what it is: a once-bustling college turned into a nearly deserted sanctuary for magic barely holding onto the edges of Skyrim.
It was also the first time in a long time playing that I was really on edge and felt present in the mystery of the game. (I tend to overthink the action-consequence issues in skyrim.) The mechanics for some parts weren't very intuitive like the entrance and exit layout, but I got the sense that that was the best way to get it to work, so. I'm going to say what's been said before: this is something of a masterpiece. Very well done.

SILVER CLAW DOESN'T WORK

Masterfully done! So much detail. Great writing and clever use of books and notes to work around voice acting NPCs. This is exactly what the College should have been in the first place. Mysterious and Arcane! This is the best mod I have ever played for Elder Scrolls. Congratulations!

Looking forward to more of you work!
