📋 About This Mod

Location: On the Black Road west of Chorrol, close to the border, located at a small pond with rowing boat and pier.

The house, in Chorrol-style, is furnished with middle- and upper class furniture. It includes a combined livingroom-and-bedroom, kitchen and diningroom and additionally a basement with twinbedded guestroom/study and storage space. The house is lore-friendly and companion-friendly, is fully path-gridded and has persistant beds and chairs that companions can use. The mod also includes 40 no-respawn-containers (many of them 'mini-barrels') in the main cottage and 53 non-respawn-containers in the basement.

You can purchase Lakeside Home at Northern Goods and Trade in Chorrol.

New in ver 2. 1:

Optional sheep! You can buy up to 6 sheep and lambs for Lakeside home at Roxey Inn. Shear your sheep and use the wool for yarn production with the crafting facilities in Lakeside home! If you are interested in crafting and farm animals, I recommend that you also use the "Useful farm animals" mod by me and Lycanthrops. These farm animals also for sale at Roxey Inn, which is why also the sheep are for sale there.

Special Features - ver 2

With version 2, a range of crafting facilities has been incorporated in Lakeside Home. You will find a crafting manual on each floor of the house. From the manual:

Smelter - In the smelter, located behind the cottage, you convert silver and gold nuggets to ingots. You can also melt silver items like urns, vases, spoons in order to get ingots and metal items like callipers, mugs, shears, tankards to get scrap metal. Simply put the nuggets or items in the smelter. Five pieces of scrap metal can be converted to an iron ingot. You can also make iron ingots from iron ore, which you can buy at Northern Goods And Trade in Chorrol. Use the bellows to light/extinguish the fire and to determine what you intend to produce.

Crafting Jewelry - Use the small hammer (activator) on the red cloth on the basement workbench to craft your own jewelry. You will need gold or silver ingots in order to do so.

Enhancing Jewelry - Use the small tongs (container) on the red cloth on the basement workbench to enhance your jewelry with gems. You will need gold or silver jewelry and appropriate gems (rubies, sapphires, emeralds or diamonds) in order to do so. Put one gem and one piece of jewelry in the container. Close the container and re-open it - your enhanced jewelry is ready! Note that you can not make silver diamond jewelry and that you cannot make any jewelry using flawed gems.

Tanning - At the Tanning Rack in the backyard you can craft leather of your bear- lion- or wolf pelts.

Leather Armor - After you have converted pelts into leather, you can create your own leather armor. Activate the leather gauntlets on the basement
