Setup:

There are 2 main downloads, one for Nexus Mod Manager and Mod Organizer, and another one for manual installing. When installing choose a version of the mod depending on location compatibility (view the compatibility section for more info) and run the game.

The first time you run the game with the mod installed, you will be asked a few questions, these are related to compatibility with frostfall, immersion, upgrading from previous version, and a cheat spell. This in-game set up wizard allows you to play different variations of this mod in different playthroughs without having to install different versions of the mod. The options you choose are saved in your save file.

Usage:

After finishing the very first quest of the game, you will be outside Helgen. Moving down the road a little bit you will find the carpenter's shack. Under his working table is a chest in which you will find your starter home for free, as well as “Move Spell”. On the table you will find a book called “Shack Purchase Guide” and a “Shack Destruction Axe”. The guide will help you in purchasing goods from the carpenter and building them, and has information about nearly all objects and their usage. If you're mid game you can find a carpenter in Whiterun. Other carpenters sell the Shack Purchase Guide for a low price.

Building:

Once you have your shack in your inventory, find a nice place where you would want to build your shack. Take care not to build the shack in a places where NPCs often frequent, like on roads. Stand where you want the center of the shack to be, and face the direction you want the door to open. Save the game and then drop your shack from the inventory. You will be asked several questions and then your shack will be built at the spot you were standing. Use the Shack Purchase Guide (either in the readme file or the in game ve
