📋 About This Mod
✅ I could really use some assistance.
✅ The following are current major issues:
✅ Broken doors, particularly the secret exit ladders.
✅ Dirty cell edits: (Tampering in TES5Edit did not help fix them, I don\'t know how to clean it properly)
✅ Deleted Navmesh (I don\'t know how to track down the deleted mesh or how to fix it)
✅ What this is:
- **Update**
- I could really use some assistance.
- The following are current major issues:
- Broken doors, particularly the secret exit ladders.
- Fox attacks Maven (simple edit is to remove it completely, but I would like to add some creatures there to improve the atmosphere)
- Dirty cell edits: (Tampering in TES5Edit did not help fix them, I don\'t know how to clean it properly)
- Deleted Navmesh (I don\'t know how to track down the deleted mesh or how to fix it)
- If you know how to solve any of these please get in touch with me. Over the next several weeks I will be returning to this mod (new computer runs Skyrim like a dream).
- What this is:
- This mod changes the Ragged Flagon Cistern into a better player base and a home for the Thieves Guild. I added several new areas, and changed all the existing. Essentially the Cistern has been tripled in size.
- Why I made this/How this came to be:
- I began playing Skyrim on the Xbox360, and still do because my computer has a hard time with the game. I have come to love the Thieves Guild, and enjoy Riften as my main home as a master of thieves. But I always felt the Cistern truly lacked as a player base, and sought out to change that. Initially I was only going to add storage to the vault, and leave it at that. But the mod took on a life of its own, and became what you see here now.
- Features:
- *****************************************************
- New rooms
- Vault has been changed drastically. 6 mannequins, 14 weapon plaques, 7 shield plaques and 9 chests, all safe player owned storage.
- Training area has a second floor with an archery range and melee training area.
- First floor of the training room has been turned into an armory
- Forge room, complete with storage for smithing materials
- New alchemy garden, complete with storage for ingredients, and a new secret exit into the lake.
- New museum, with a number of models, statues and paintings
- Pantry/cellar, respawning barrels of food and mead, perfect for a hunger mod.
- Expanded kitchen, moved into its own room.
- New storage room for loot the members bring back. Mostly random miscellaneous items. More to come in the future
- Master suite with a library, 4 wardrobes and shelving space. Book space for over 300 books.
- Private study for the player with enchanting and alchemy space/storage, upgraded armor, mannequins, more bookspace, a workstation and a fish pond.
- Upgraded version of the Nightingale Armor, using a retexture courtesy of Adaadami. Upgraded version of the Guild master armor using daejones retexture will come in 1. 6.
- Requirements and included Mods:
- Obviously Skyrim. I am keeping this mod DLC free until a later date.
- I have used multiple new models and textures credited below. I also included two new armors with permission from their authors.
- Daejones Guild Master armor:
