📋 About This Mod
Do you look at the majority of player homes and sigh to yourself after only a few images, thinking "why would they do that?" Examples: a solid stone hotub or forge/smelter somehow being supported by a rickety wood shack floor; or the same statues pasted everywhere, with glowing balls and fountains pouring from the nipples.. sigh Well congratulations, you may be as picky as I am! So anyway I made my own home, which has grown to include about everything you might need and yet remains tasteful (IMHO). Still sighing?! Move along then and make YOUR own, home I'm sure it'll be AWESOME! (sigh)
Someone commented that they couldn't tell where vanilla Skyrim ended and where this mod began, that's exactly what I was striving for. The Refuge is concentrated on immersion, aesthetics, authenticity and other big words, while still offering everything an adventurous Dovahkiin might require and more:
[]Portal tower: A door that links numerous locations throughout Skyrim at the touch of a button (like in Howl's Moving Castle). Connects the five player homes, the Archmage's chambers, both Dark Brotherhood Sanctuaries, Sky Haven Temple, High Hrothgar, and the Ragged Flagon (via a new Ratway secret passage under Honneyside). The Dwarven doors are cleverly hidden behind vanilla walls and there is no sign of them besides a small rune on the wall.
[]Optional DLC support provides additional doorways to Fort Dawnguard, Volkihar Keep and Severin Manor. Also adds a summonable archway that you can place wherever you like, a passage down to the Aetherium Forge, more Vault display Artefacts, a Spider Scroll machine, a Staff enchanter, and the Dwarven Forge can do Crossbows and Stalhrim.
[]The Refuge Spirit: Far from home and feeling over-burdened, or did you forget something? Summon this helpful spirit to lighten your load, access your storage or teleport you home. She roams the Refuge when not summoned. Don't want her? Be rude to her and she'll leave (warning: irreversible).
[]Auto-Sorting: Automatically sort all of the gems, ingredients, ores, ingots, hides, soul gems, and monster parts directly from your inventory into their respective containers at the press of a button (works by lists, so items not included (mod-added) won't be sorted).
[*]Sorting chests: drop anything in and it will be automatically sorted and sent to the appropriate container (works by keywords;
