📋 About This Mod
Pocket Empire Builder v1. 48 by splynter ReadMe: MOD REQUIREMENTS: SKSE is now Required. All Pocket Empire Builder updates after v1. 17 REQUIRE SKSE in order to function properly. The Pocket Empire Builder will work with Dawnguard & with Hearthfire, although they are not required. SKSE can be downloaded from: http://skse.silverlock.org/ WHAT IS IT? The Pocket Empire Builder is a personal in-game construction kit that you can use to build your own camp, village, town, city or Empire. It is a rebuild of the Pocket Campsite mod and has been restructured to run faster and to be easier to manage so that new content can be published quickly. WHAT\'S NEW v1. 48 Added more food and ingredient plants to the Garden Section. Made \"Townsfolk\" and \"Farmers\" seperate. See below for new garden features. v1. 47 Added Garden section in Landscapes. There are 5 plantable food crops: cabbage, leeks, wheat, carrots, and potatos. Added flat garden dirt beds to plant in. Added code to PEB menus to hopefully fix the \".\" ring problem. See description below for tips on planting a garden. v1. 46 Added lots of waterfall and water related objects to the landscaping section. Fixed the selectability on the previous water objects. v1. 45 Fixed Imperial Gate object type. Added Skyforge to \'crafting\' section. Added Winterhold Bookcase to \'furniture\' section. Added \'Duplicate NPC\' spell. Cast it on any npc (humanoid or animal) to create another. Added \'Duplicate\' option to most items to create a copy of that item next to the original. Available when pack/adjust spell is cast on an item. Not available for unique objects, like player houses. For food plants, hold the left-ctrl key while activating the plant. Not yet available on ingredient plants. Fixed Sovngarde Watcher Statues. v1. 44 Added spawnable bandits and dragons. Spawn single enemies or groups to test your guards and defenses. There are 15 enemies of various factions and races and 4 dragons: Snow, Fire, Blood, and Elder Dragons. The type of enemy spawned is random, so if you choose 3 bandits, 3 random bandits will appear. Same with the dragons. v1. 43 Stockade, Imperial, and Nordic wall fixes. v1. 41 Added a new Imperial Tower in the \'buildings/towers\' section. The new tower is called \"imperial tower\" and the old one was renamed \"imperial tower ruin\". Added a lot of new rugs in the \'furnishings\' section. Now, when \"remember last menu page\" is enabled in \'settings\', you can go to the main menu home page by holding the left-shift while clicking \'exit\' on any page. After clicking \'exit\', keep holding the left-shift until the main menu page appears. v1. 40 Menus reorganized; menu link fixes. Teleport doors moved to \'construction/doors\' section. Mannequins & Weapon Racks moved to 2nd Main Menu screen. Fixed adding multiple shield plaques. Numerous other bug fixes. Tweaked guard and follower
