The Alchemist's Abode - An Alchemist's Shack Overhaul

My first mod release!

I've always liked the Alchemist's Shack. I love that it exists in the open worldspace of the Rift, and that there's a suggestion of a story behind it. Although there are good overhauls already, I wanted to make the place my own and decided to share the result. I did my best to keep a (relatively) simple, rustic vibe, while also making it more functional as a player home and taking advantage of some amazing resources out there.
