📋 About This Mod

I have used the great mod Middle Earth BC by billw as a basis for my buildings. Thanks for letting me share.

This world save was done using Better Continents version 0. 6. 4.

My Lord of the Rings based buildings are all unique builds loosly based on either the films or - in case of Rivendell - a mix with drawings by the professor.

I have tried to create something recognizable while still optimizing the builds for playing.

Since all was done in vanilla Valheim with only a couple of quality of life mods (TorchesEternal) enabled - which are not necessary - and Better Continents - needed for the Middle Earth seed to work - the surroundings are mostly left untouched. I have found that my markings on the map are not transferring, so I took a screenshot with the marked locations.

All building was done in creative mode, but with no other mod, so the builds should work without anything else enabled. If you run into

trouble, try installing Jotunn, since I had that running when I did the building.

Changelog

- V2 is updated to work with Hearth & Home, including kitchen updates wherever possible.

- Slightly updated builds using the new stuff from H&H.

- Added a semi hidden treasure room at Helms Deep.

- I removed all personal chests as it turned out no one could use those.

- The Mines of Moria added - A huge thanks you to Captain Chaos who invited me to see his world and allowed me to use his ideas.

- There is now a hideaway on the highest mountain. Nothing to do with Lord of the Rings - just because ;-)

- Added a picture of my inworld map with marked locations.

- Per user request V2 comes in two versions: One that has no stocks and the "loot" version is mostly fully stocked.

- The ZIP-file now also includes a pictore of the inworld map with all locations.

To make sure this works (as I have never done this before) I quote billw for the installation bit:
