🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure AdvancedBuilder is installed and working before adding this mod, or the .vbuild file won't load.
Place the .vbuild file in the exact path: SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Valheim\AdvancedBuilder\Builds – double-check your Steam library location if you have multiple drives.
After copying, use AdvancedBuilder's in-game menu to spawn the house; if it doesn't appear, verify the file name and folder structure.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Solid comfort boost (16) for rested bonus, which is a big deal early game
- All crafting stations covered, so you don't have to scramble for placement
- Clean aesthetic that fits the Viking theme without being over the top
👎 Cons
- Requires AdvancedBuilder mod, so it's not standalone – you need that dependency
- Last updated in 2021, so might not be compatible with the latest Valheim patches
- No screenshots or detailed build guide in the description, so you're flying blind until you load it in
