Vanilla Plus Breezehome

• []INTRODUCTION

I've always had a soft spot for the vanilla player homes, especially the ones in the major cities. There's something about them: the unique designs, the quests you need to do to get them (even tho not all of them are interesting, I must admit), the lives that your spouses and children can live in a walled city, your faithful and unwanted family addition - I mean, your housecarl... As I always do in my never ending modding journey, I strive to stay as close to the vanilla feeling as possible with the mods that I use, but unfortunately I never found a proper overhaul that really keeps things simple and lore-friendly. Don't get me wrong, there are some awesome options out there, and I got inspired by them, but unfotunately they didn't seem right for what I had in mind: one added a bath or extra beds, another used new assets or altered the original layout... Not bad options, just not was I was looking for, you know what I mean? So... I willingly decided to fall into the rabbit hole that is the Creation Kit, and I started to learn how to do things my way. This series aims to transform all vanilla player homes into something more, but still vanilla. Hopefully it will turn out great: I'm open to suggestions and technical advices, since that I'm still an amateur modder.

• []WHAT THIS MOD CHANGED AND ADDED

Breezehome is likely the first house a player can afford. While it is small and very simple in its features, it is nonetheless iconic and cozy enough to potentially keep it as your main home, thanks to its strategic location. I tried to reflect that while staying as light as possible with the changes:

- Minor additions to the main hall and the alchemy lab/child bedroom (I recommend this second option).

- Dining areas with more decorations and food, with Hearthfire oven and butter churn added.

- One weapon rack added on the first floor.

- Improved beds for everyone.

- More refined and dignified housecarl room.

- Enchanting table added, no grindstone and workbench: go to Warmaiden's!

- Some minor external changes and decorations, nothing too fancy.

ANOTHER NOTE: if you want to make a patch for this mod, feel free to share it, but I'm too lazy to make them.

• REQUIREMENTS AND NOTES

None, but there is a BIG NOTE: the changes were done in the CK without taking in consideration the buy-upgrades-from-steward system, since it was too much of a pain to even consider to deal with scripts. That
