📋 About This Mod

qlg7YzKO7Fs

Current version for Skyrim Special Edition is v1. 0

Elvenwood is a large treehouse settlement located between Falkreath & Helgen. It was constructed some time ago by Bosmeri travellers coming to Skyrim, who had been attracted by the rich forest areas within Falkreath Hold.

A book can be found within the settlement that will provide a detailed insight.

The Elvenwood soundtrack, 'Sunrise', along with the preview soundtrack 'Home', have been composed by Aarchduke (Tom Colebrooke), the author of Symphonies of Skyrim. A big thank you to Aarchduke for his work on these.

Resident wood elf NPCs, including merchants (blacksmith, inn, fletcher, general goods store)

Both interior & exterior areas all fully navmeshed by hand. External area navmesh around the settlement has been connected to adjacent external cells, so it's possible that enemy NPCs in the vicinity could attack the settlement.

Smithing facilities, alchemy table, enchanting table.

Purchasable player house with plenty of storage, bed, mannequin, weapon rack, weapon plaques, cooking pot, bookshelves, alchemy table & enchanter.

Q. But...your mod isn't accordance with Tamrielic Lore as Bosmers aren't permitted to build things with wood?

A. It states in the UESP wiki article on Bosmers that 'imported wood is used when necessary', implying that foreign wood can be used. Wood originating from the Falkreath forests in Skyrim falls into this category. The Green Pact prohibits the use of any wood or vegetable matter of Valenwood as building materials, which does not mean wood of Skyrim, which is where the wood for the construction of this village originated, and the wood was necessary at the time to build a home for them. Therefore there is no reason why the Bosmer could not have actually constructed this themselves.

Q. After uninstalling your mod part way through a save game my game is crashing and doing this, that, and the other.

A. Please note that uninstalling mods part way through a save could possibly corrupt the save and make the game unstable. I do not recommend uninstalling any mods part way through a save game.

Q. The NPCs all attacked me when I arrived??

A. That's probably because during the melee when bandits attacked the settlement, you attacked an Elvenwood member in error after confusing them for one of the bandits. The Elvenwood members are all in the Elvenwood faction, whereby they will help their fellow faction members in a fight. So if you attack one of them, then the other faction members will automatically come to their defence and attack you. So be careful who you pick a fight with. ;-)

Q. When I try to trade with the merchants I don't get
