📋 About This Mod
Name: I Wanna Bayou a House! with optional COBL version Version: 1. 1 Date: 9/15/2008 Category: Player home Requirements: Shivering Isles, Common Oblivion (COBL) Recommended: Oblivion Mod Manager Author: Tchos Description =========== Deep in the bayous of Blackwood, between Fort Doublecross and Fieldhouse Cave, in view of a partially submerged Wayshrine of Mara, a lone house stands on stilts to ward off the perpetual dampness of the saturated soil. Some have heard of a solitary mage who retreated into the solitude of this untamed land, well away from civilisation, to practise his alchemy in private. Not being a cave hermit, however, he outfitted the interior with fine furniture and other creature comforts. Luckily for the lost adventurer in need of a place to stay for the night, the mage has moved on to other things, and his modest abode can be claimed by anyone who takes the time to look for it. Location ======== Between Fort Doublecross and Fieldhouse Cave, near Wayshrine of Mara. Within easy walking distance of the Lost Spires\' \"Primeval Hollow\" (does not conflict). Image included. Details ======= This is a modest player housing mod, which may be used as an alternative to the ugly player-owned shack in Leyawiin, or simply as a change of scenery. Most of the new textures are my own work, with the exception of those that belong to the modder\'s resources listed below. Features:
- [] Small but cosy 2-story house on the water with new hardwood floor and wallpaper [] Ample non-respawning storage, with no crates or barrels! [] Filled bookcases that act as containers [] Bathtub and sink [] Outside raised patio with barbecue grill (assembled by me) [] Nice view of the Wayshrine of Mara (Wayshrines Improved by Gregbert recommended for aesthetics http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15999) [] Eat outdoors at night listening to the crickets and frogs and watching the multi-coloured fireflies. [] Alchemy ingredient sorter [] Alchemy ingredient grinder [] Static alchemy equipment (no need to pick it up to use it)

⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2008 — may have compatibility issues with current Oblivion setups

💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using the COBL version, make sure COBL is installed first and load order is correct.
- Check the mod's readme (if any) for specific house location details—swamp homes can be tricky to find.
- Since it's from 2008, consider using a mod manager to avoid overwriting files.
