- OVERVIEW
- ------------
- Lakeview is a small home located on the shore of Lake Rumare, southwest of the Imperial City. It\'s furnished with a warm bed, places to sit by a cozy fire, and plenty of safe places to store your stuff in an organized manner. Although it\'s free, the front door is locked. You\'ll need to go to the basement (entrance around back) and get the key from the witch who lives down there. She\'s quite tough and has a very bad attitude.

- REVISION HISTORY
- ---------------------
- Rev 2. 2 removes a significant bug that could affect in-game loading of a saved game! Although you could always load a game from the main menu or load a quicksave game, under some circumstances Lakeview could cause a CTD if you tried to return to the main menu or load a named save game. It took a long time to discover this problem and longer still to solve it. I apologize to any users who were inconvenienced by this. The culprit was a \"deleted\" reference. Other changes are minor: a cushion for the reading chair, an improved chandelier and gas light control, and a few tweaks here and there.
- Rev 2. 1 enhances Lakeview\'s interior. A three-position adjustable center lamp has been added to the chandelier. Just reach up to adjust it. Combined with the two-position adjustable outer lamps (panel by the door), the interior lighting can be adjusted to suit just about everyone\'s taste. The east fireplace can now be lit for those really cold days. Just click on it. Also, that fireplace has been decorated with a static version of the beautiful elven shield--in theme with the swords above the west fireplace.
- Rev 2. 0 contained no bug fixes although all remaining links to other parts of Oblivion were removed, making Lakeview a \"clean\" mod, more robust, and less likely to conflict with other mods. Rev. 2. 0 did include many small changes to enhance the sense of place and believability of Lakeview.
- Rev 1. 1 added the mailbox and fixed a problem with the desk. This made all containers on the main floor of Lakeview and the barrel by the campsite safe for long term storage (each has a unique name and is set to not respawn).
- CREDITS: Thanks to Rtwesan for his play testing and valuable suggestions.
