ORIGINAL MOD

Leaf Rest: One Piece is a custom & interactive player home designed inside of one cell. It's a convenient estate for players to craft, sell, and store their items; raise a family and house followers. The player can now interact with many of the objects located in and around the property. This includes options for customizing many of the home's interior decorations, statues, rugs, doorways, beds, containers, crafting stations, room layouts, & more. The house is located in the town of Riverwood, directly across from the Sleeping Giant Inn. The front entrance faces the west, overlooking the river. The key to the home can be found in the mail post.

Leaf Rest Gardening System (Farming Animations)

The Leaf Rest gardening system now requires the player to use realistic farming techniques in order to grow crops. First Water the plants by turning on the spigot and activating the bucket.

Provides a temporary bonus to one's frost resistance and speech. Use the “auto un-equip baskets” before entering the bath to quickly remove armor and other gear. Works great on followers as well! The spa and pool will also heal your aching muscles (lambago) after a hard day of farming in the garden.

Wood Burning Fireplace (lifting/dropping animation)

Firewood is now required in order to light the fireplace. The outdoor work table has an option for Leaf Rest to have its own wood-chopping block on the front porch, or you can simply use one at the nearby mill. Chop some wood (at least 4 pieces) then take and place it into the stockpile located in the basement (or use auto-sort). Next  pick up the wood from the stockpile & carry it over to the fireplace. Lighting the fire will allow you to use the cooking pot, the ove
