White River Farm - A Buildable Farm Home

White River Farm

I have always looked for a good farm for my mod list. Although there are some pretty well done mods out there that add an extreme amount of content, these mods tend to crash my game, drop my frames down to an unbearable 15fps, or even corrupt my entire save. So I thought to myself, what would be an easy and immersive way to get 35 planting plots that I felt like I had to earn, or at least, work for? So I decided to make a lightweight buildable farm mod similar to Hearthfire (Although, not quite as tedious) that lets me build my own small farmhouse that holds enough to be useful without stuffing it full to the point it didn't feel immersive. I also felt that the Dragonborn should deserve a chance to hold more property than just Breezehome. In fantasy/medieval ages like these, property was considered one of the biggest measures of wealth, and considering how wealthy some of use dragonborn can get, I thought we'd deserve something of this sort... Not to mention if Nazeem can own a farm, then I sure as hell better be able to as well.

Lore Friendly!

White River Farm is designed to be lightweight, easy to earn, and extremely modlist friendly. I have integrated it to fit the landscape almost seamlessly, trying to give a vanilla/lore friendly feel while serving its purpose in giving the player 35 land plots for growing whatever their farmer hearts' desire. You aren't just handed a farm as soon as you start the game right off the bat like a lot of other farm mods, but at the same time you don't get to expand to the point it doesn't feel like a farm anymore. (Like in my opinion, Heljarchen Farm.)

It gives the player a farmhouse, a functioning grain mill, a fence with 35 planting plots, a cow, 3 chickens, and a mini crafting area outside that holds an armorer bench and anvil. The inside of the house holds an alchemy knook, an office, a bedroom, dining area, living space, Baking area, and a pantry. The player must buy the land from the steward, and then clear the area, and build it from the ground up, whether it be by gold or raw materials. After building the office area, you can then proceed to purchase the cow and chickens and even disable the interior and exterior workbenches to save you room if you so desire. 

Extremely Fluid

I designed this mod to accommodate those who don't want to grind for materials like I do. So I made it so there are multiple recipes for what you are building. You can either purchase it via gold, materials and firewood, or materials and lumber (for those who have already built at least one Hearthfire home). You can also use the ledger in the office inside the house to disable the workbenches that way
