📋 About This Mod

UPDATE:

To safely update, please remove all your items from containers labelled "Search" as otherwise you might lose them. Then, download the update and install it, choose "overwrite". 

Family members and Followers homed by Multiple Adoptions/MHIYH should not be affected by the update, but please, if you're unsure, refer to those mods' instructions on how to transition safely to a new updated home.

-fixed missing meshes

-fixed missing textures

-made the light inside yet a little brighter (although I have to stress that if you use a bright ENB, the changes can be really subtle but I promise, the lights in the home work.

-Finally added the Cottage Cheese Creation Station which, you might be surprised to find, lets you create Cottage Cheese. ;) You need jugs of milk for that, and there's this Hearthfire mod out there (don't recall the name right now) that lets you milk your cows. And with all the newly added cows, you'll now never run out of cottage cheese!

Guys and Girls.

I care about your families. For the love of Talos: Please make a backup save before updating, just in case something unexpected happens. I do not want anyone losing their loved ones or belongings.

Well, with some months delay, I've finally put a video together as an overview and addressing issues. (all fixable issues have been fixed with the newest update)

Peaceful Garden is a spacious, family-friendly home for up to six children, a spouse, and four followers. Version 2 replaces the old 4-follower house with a stable, reducing follower slots from eight to four but adding more authenticity.

Features full General Stores integration, two children’s bedrooms, a master bedroom (former library), and an upstairs living room/kitchen. Includes all crafting stations except the Staff Enchanter and Spider Imbuing Chamber, plus an enchanting room, alchemy room, and outdoor leather/smithing area. The bathroom has a Change Appearance Mirror, and there’s even a butter churn. Or two. Might be two.

The grounds offer three gardens (plantable alchemy, vegetable, and wheat), outdoor seating, a lookout, shrine to Mara, expanded livestock, a working windmill with grain mill, and food stores. The stable comes with a resident horse, Diron.

The downstairs area is now part of the main cell for seamless navigation. An optional quest invites you to find and bury the home’s former owner. Other upgrades include bookshelves, technical polish, and cottage cheese containers that actually give you cottage cheese.

I am including the original version on the Download page, for players who preferred the old mod. You might want this if:
