SSE Settle Blackreach?

[Eldaryn]

Always had this awesome idea for a mod where a mage (maybe from the college) asks you to help him excavate the silent city in Blackreack (similar to the quest for Azhidals gear in solstheim).

 

Anyway, you clear out the city and hire some excavators and over time excavate more of the ruins. Eventually you hire guards and patrols set up.

 

In the end you hire miners as the mage has the bright idea of mining the soul gems under and around the city to finance the expedition, and over time merchants and tradesmen and their families move in and build lean-to buildings in and around the city and the city grows into a fully fledged free-state below skyrim, perhaps focused on arcane and exploration?

 

As part of the quest you could uncover an Automatron Resonance Crystal or something that reprograms the constructs in black reach to be friendly and form patrols, guard etc.

 

In the end you would have a fully functioning city below skyrim, with outlying mushroom farms and patrols, and a player home/ mansion within the city or on the outskirts.

 

It could be a long quest driven mod similar to Rebuilding Helgen or the like.

 

Ive often thought about making it myself, but its far, far outside my modding abilities XD So i though Id pop it here and see what people thought =]

Have you tried Tundra Defense yet? It has an advanced option that will allow you to ignore placement restrictions, so you can place the water well underground in Blackreach and then turn on restrictions again to build a settlement down there. There's also a mod somewhere that cleans up Blackreach and removes spawns. (TD has its own raids.) I'm currently settling Blackreach. :)
