📋 About This Mod
When it comes to making mods, I apparently have the attention span of a skeever, and end up making a load of relatively small mods that I play around with but never get around to polishing or uploading, and many just sit on my hard drive for months while I go off to work on new things. Here's a collection of those mods.
Decorate (Updated 3 of October, 2018)
This mod allows you to position items with precision using the Decorate lesser power.
The power can be obtained by either reading a Decorating Guide for one of the vanilla houses, or by crafting "Decorating Tips" at a forge. Once you have the lesser power, use it, then activate any object.
You will be given the option to "Move", "Rotate", and "Nudge". Selecting "Move" will keep the item upright and directly in front of you. Simply move your camera to move the object to where you want it, crouch to place it. Selecting "Rotate" will allow you to rotate the object on the X,Y, or Z axis by simply looking left or right of the object, crouch to stop rotating. These two options will disable havoc physics on the object, select "Nudge" to re-enable havoc physics.
You can also create a number of containers and furniture at a forge, or at the woodworking bench. Drop the items, then activate while you are Decorating. You will be able to move them like before, as well as being able to "Place" them, turning them into useable furniture objects. When they're useable objects, you can move and rotate them as normal, and "Take" them at any time while Decorating.
The number of furniture items to craft and place is still small at the moment, this mod may be expanded in the future.
Frostflow Lighthouse Repaired (Updated 3 of October, 2018)
Frostflow Lighthouse is my favorite vanilla dungeon, due to its location and story. It also makes a fantastic player home.
With this mod, after you avenge the family of Frostflow Lighthouse, you can repair and clean the lighthouse, and bar up the entrance to the abyss below it. Turning it into a usable player home.
All items and containers in the lighthouse will no longer respawn, while the items and enemies in the abyss below will respawn as normal.
An anvil, grindstone, armor table, and wood-chopping block have been placed in and around the lighthouse.
Simple Thralls (Updated 3 of October, 2018)
Any NPC can now be turned into willing thr
