📋 About This Mod
This mod adds a small fantasy style cottage with an Apothecary Vendor out side of Riverwood.
Update : 7/24/20 New Main Files with Alternate Location added.
I've added optional location main files for both the Original Cottage and the V2 with no vendor. These alternatives put the cottage North East of RiverWood, Closer to WhiteRun, Below Bleak Falls Barrow. This was the best option I could find. It is nearly impossible to find a location near Riverwood that hasn't been claimed by another house mod. As much as I would like to make everyone happy , I can't. So, this will be the only alternate location done. I will not make another. It does of course look a bit different as far as decor on the outside of the cottage. Though I did try to keep it as close to the original as possible. I hope this at least makes some of you guys happy! Enjoy!
These alternate files need to be above your house mod that is located where the original cottage was. there may be navmesh changes that keep your followers from entering or behaving properly. Your house mod should overwrite anything I did to that area.
If you are replacing an older version of the cottage with the alternate location, need to disable the old version and download the new main alternate location file as if it was a new mod. Merging doesn't work with this.
Update
- New version of this mod without the vendor is available. The house and everything in it is now player owned and you should receive the well rested bonus when using the main bed. Download this version or the main file. Not both.UPDATE 1. 1
