📋 About This Mod

No extra assets, just ESL'd esp and some creative ingenuity.

Translations: French, by Ruonikenshin

Highlights:

- Tons of unique storage

- All upgrade packages enabled at start, and all items detached from packages (except where doing so produced a dirty edit)

- Have Alchemy AND Kids' room at same time

- New dining, bedroom, crafting room, and bathroom

- Lighting is only minimally changed; compatibility with lighting mods may vary.

- Built in LAL compatibility

Smithing now added to back porch, all stations, all storage :)

My images are using Sky-Re-Engaged ENB. Yours will look different depending on lighting, ENB, and any texture/model mods you have.

A Note on the Navmesh:

In past modding I meticulously adjust Navmesh around my changes, under and around furniture. HOWEVER the newest versions of xEdit pose a problem with this, marking deleted triangles as ERRORS. Very annoying. And the process to correct these errors is, frankly, a royal and confusing pain-in-the-arse. So. In this mod I did not delete a single existing triangle. Instead I merely shifted vertices slightly, or simply left the triangle where it was, even if it's half under a piece of furniture. Yes this may result in some NPCs trying to walk into said furniture, BUT there won't be any errors. It's a trade-off. Thanks xEdit authors... The new rooms I added are nicely and properly Navmesh'ed.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's ESL-flagged, it won't count against your mod limit, but still place it in your load order after other home mods to avoid conflicts.
  • If you use a lighting overhaul like ELFX or ELE, test in Honeyside first—minimal lighting changes might clash with your setup.
