📋 About This Mod
design courtesy of joykilldesign 64D1Axhyb9MDg6BaEosv2g Build your own home! Yes thats right! YOU build the home! You construct the home however you like! The home is COMPLETELY modular! Add what you like and remove what you hate! Want a small simple shack located by a beautiful river? You\'ve got it! Want a two story home with a bedroom, and a small farm outside? Build it! Want a small fortress, complete with gardens, smithys, tannerys, and more? Go for it! It is your home, build it how you choose! Customize it! Decorate your home to reflect YOU! You are a unique individual with a unique playstyle! Build your home to reflect it! Choose from one of 4 \"Themes\" to decorate your home, these themes can be mixed and matched for \"hybrid\" designs. Are you a wizard studying the arcane? A hunter living outdoors? A theif living in seclusion? Mix them up at will! Your home reflects you! More info on designs below (FANCY IMAGES!) Also available is a hidden lair that can reflect Werewolves or Vampires! Your choice! Getting Started! You build the home! Go gather the materials! Keep an axe handy and a pickaxe at your side, finally you have reason to go out there and collect stuff! The home is situated just outside of the Abandoned Prison, at Lucky\'s Shack. Check the Images if you don\'t know what I\'m talking about. Fast travel to the abandoned prison and you CANNOT miss the home, its right up river. If you\'ve never been to the abandoned prison, its essentially right at the fork in the road between Riften, WIndhelm, and Whiterun. TRavel from Whiterun to Riften and after you pass the bandit tower you come to a winding cliff road, then a bridge. When you reach the bridge you have made it to the home. Once there, be sure to pick up Lucky\'s Journal inside the (convenient!) shed, where you can also store all of your building materials. In Lucky\'s journal it depicts his plans for the home, so you know what materials to gather! To start the construction find the workbench with the deed on it, and use it! (Follow the images!) Common Questions! Q. My workbench won\'t work! A. You need Skyrim version 1. 6. You can\'t be in combat. (<-- This INCLUDES Followers. Sometimes you may not be in combat, but your follower tags you as in combat.) You need a legal copy. If even one of those isn\'t met, it won\'t work. Fix one of them. Q. I CTD on entering the home! A. You have the old Vanilla Mannequin Script Fix, go get the new one! Q. My book doesn\'t have everything!? A. It does, keep turning the pages. There is a blank page every so often to keep the book looking right. Everything is in the book. Q. There are bunnies in my home!?!
