📋 About This Mod
Thanks and credit go up top to Xilante for his weatherproofing script resource and to DARKFOX127 for explaining it and expanding on it in another one of his terrific tutorials, to Tueffel for the much appreciated modular crafting tables, and to the ever-giving Blary for the beautiful booksets and his openbook resources. You're terrific, guys. Thank you for sharing your wonderful work and allowing this mod to be developed.
Skyview is a home which features the outside every bit as much as the house itself. With vast panoramic views of the mountains and river and with vantage points inside and out for the beautiful sunrises and sunsets - the house is aptly named.

- Features:
- ---------
- []Candles, lanterns, torches, and fires are controlled by you as well as lighting the alchemy burner before using that utility, cords to open and close the curtains in the bedroom area, and two activators at the edge of the table for meal settings.
- []All vanilla crafting stations are on the property along with a privy and stables; you can bathe or swim in the river next to the dock.
- []Living accommodations are designed for two (though two extra sleep mats are available to activate) in a unique two-story home.
- []It's secure. All doors are lockable from the inside and two of the main entry doors have an added security door which you can relock from the outside as you leave.
- []Windows are plentiful and are either of reinforced glass construction or have wooden shutters attached which you can open or close. (Though admittedly that one at the kitchen table does take a bit of maneuvering to get to.)
- []The full length covered porch is the place to be.
- Nine weapon racks and even a couple of mannequins are available to those who find those things appealing. (I personally don't but just happened to have a spot for them. :) )
- No quests, no keys; no hassles - just go get it. If you have a problem with any of that too bad - go jump through hoops for some other house.
