📋 About This Mod

v1. 3: Fixed respawning chests, added windows inside house. v1. 2: Tweaked for better perfomance - flora amount around house is significantly reduced. Added \'lite\' version without flora spawning at all. Be careful when switching from normal to lite version - take all your items from house, switch versions, then check if everything is right, and only then save your game. Use only one plugin file, not both. v1. 1: Tweaked lightning inside the house, made it less shiny. Candles will now be lit only during night. ------------- This mod adds the Great Tree to the south of Cheydinhal, near the Nornal ayleid ruins. There is also abandoned house near, which you can use - but the house is hidden, so you have to find it :) See readme for additional information.
