📋 About This Mod

FEATURES =-=-=-=-=-= - Build your home anywhere, not just in pre-determined locations. - 14 Different house styles/layouts. - Easy to use mouse based object placement coupled with dialog based fine adjustments. - Clutter assistant to help with decorating with annoying havok physics enabled objects. - Over 150 furniture items in a variety of styles. - Basic farming/animal tending. - Furniture crafting on the carpentry table. - Lore friendly paintings for your walls. - More! DESCRIPTION =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Have you ever found a spot while wandering through Skyrim and thought to yourself \"Man, I really wish I could build a home there.\"? Well, now you can. This mod adds the ability to construct a home where ever you see fit to do so. Giving you the power to adjust it\'s placement and rotation to get it just where you want it. Then, you can bring materials to a carpenter\'s table to construct furniture for your new home. Then you can use the Scrolls of Decoration to place and move your new furniture anywhere in the house. All the basics are currently available, with more stuff on the way. It\'s a time consuming, but very rewarding process to decorate your house the way you want it. No more prefabs. HOW TO USE =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= First things first, you need to visit Carl Zilla in his shack outside of Riverwood. His shack is on the hill near the bridge. He\'ll sell you the Land Deed and Construction Rights for 2500 Septims (Use the \"How\'d you build your house up here...\" topic, not his merchant topic). He\'s also got a good selection of furniture. Once you\'ve got your land deed and construction rights out of the way, you need to find a nice place to build. Really, you can build anywhere. You could even be silly and build your home right in some sap\'s living room if you want to (NOT RECOMMENDED, obviously). Once you\'ve got a nice spot picked out, use your deed and construction rights to learn the \"Start Construction\" power. Use this power to place your house on the map. You\'ll need to buy construction materials, so there will be another expense based on the size of the home. The house will show up all awkward and crooked, probably partially below ground, and you\'ll almost definitely need to manipulate it to get it to be useable. I guess you should have honed your carpentry skills before hand, huh? No matter though, it\'s never too late to learn new skills... After the home is on the map, 3 new powers show up in your magic menu. Construction: Move, Place Door, and Construction: Place. I recommend double fisting both Construction: Move and Construction: Place that way you can cast both quickly to get the house situated properly. Cast Construction: Move on the house and you\'ll get a menu asking if you\'d like to Move or Fine Tune the house. Pick move to be able to move it around with your mouse. When you house is where you want it, cast Construction: Place to let go of the house. You can then cast move house again
