Juniper's House for Illia

"I want to leave everything from this cursed place behind. Goodbye. And thank you." -Illia

A house for Illia after her quest is finished. She says she can't stay in the tower anymore and wants to leave it all behind, but then she stands outside of the tower at the ritual site forever after her quest. Until now.

This mod adds small cottage farm for Illia between Darklight Tower and Snow-Shod Farm. Illia will live and work around her new cottage and travel to Riften on the weekend to shop after her quest is completed.

Sure she's a dark mage, but leaving it all behind can mean many things. I chose to give her a cottage to heal after her quest.

Illia is one of my favorite NPC followers in Skyrim. She's powerful, her story is heartbreaking, and I usually recruit her to be a steward at one of my Hearthfire homes so she has a place to live. Plus, she can take out a giant on her own. After years of her faithfully being my steward, I have repaid her with a cottage of her own.

Illia can be a follower and will return to her cottage when dismissed, or she will be your steward and move to your hearthfire house instead if you wish.

Illia should still move to her cottage even if you have already completed her questline previously, unless she is a steward at one of your hearthfire homes.

Changes to Illia:

• []Illia's post quest AI package has been adjusted so she will move into the cottage after her questline is finished. This adjustment also fixes her AI packages not properly activating due to an incorrect check on the quest.

  []Illia now also has her own unique spell list and no longer uses a template for her behavior, which seemed to be causing her to not use her packages after her quest completion.

  []This mod also adds several New AI packages to Illia so that she will have a life after she leaves the tower.

  Possible Conflicts:

  I checked this mod against my very (very) extensive mod list and there were no serious conflicts. The mods that will cause issues with this one are grass or landscape overhauls. Any grass or landscape mod that adds grass to Rift Leaf and Dirt landscape textures will ruin all the landscaping I did around Illia's house. Her house will be overrun by grass. Version 1. 2 adds custom vanilla landscape textures to the cell Illia's house is in so her house isn't buried in grass.

  NPC Overhauls:

  []While I haven't altered Illia's appearance, I have edited her and she will need a Wrye Bash patch for NPC overhauls. Move this mod higher in your load order (before any mods that change Illia's appearance) and rebuild your bashed patch s
