Thanks for explaining that, I definitely understand now & will try the bsa file :)

Just a quick inquiry as to the advantage/disadvantage of a BSA vs Non-BSA file. I want to download a mod that offers both & I'm not sure of what to select. Can anyone enlighten me?

The following link has quite a few free programs that I use & are quite effective: IObit Follow the Downloads tab at top of page. Several things to choose from, look for the "Malware Fighter Free". Also you might want to check out the "Game Booster 3" as well (doesn't remove malware but may give you an increase in FPS while running your game) Also a great free antivirus that I've been using for years: AVG Free Edition

Thanks gentester :) You mentioned one I haven't tried, Clinsters Dovakhiin Lodge, and I'll definately give that one a look! As far as the Oblivion mod I linked, imho it's just too big in general but it gives a nice representation of accommodations and content. Thanks for the reply and the tip on player house :) Links for anyone interested in the above mods: Clintsters Dovahkiin Lodge Autumn Lodge by Brendan62 updated

Thanks so much for posting this reply, hope is renewed for me :) I'm not a modder so I'm not sure what help I could be, but I'd gladly give my opinions and creative input or help in any way I can. I'll definitely keep both eyes watching for this mod you describe!

Hmpf....it's just a house mod. not meaning to imply a follower overhaul or anything, just a home to compliment my multiple followers. i have all the other mods i need.....just need this central location to have them all in one area. (an area realistic enough in size so as there is no need to search for 20 minutes to find the ones i want)

And yes, what jet4571 said lol

I'll try to be more specific to my particular situation: I am running many mods, but the ones that I'm running that apply here are: UFO, Dudestia Multiple Marriage (the stand-alone 100 version), some followers from FalmerBane, Grimraven1 & migal130. These mods give me the ability to do several things with my followers obviously. I can marry them all, set my house to one such as i described in 1st post, dismiss them all (or some) & have them all be in one area so when I choose to use them as followers again I can do so without going to several locations to round them up. Also with some of the downloaded followers, I have the ability to dismiss them in a location and sandbox them where they are dismissed. So in a nutshell, I have the ability to have several options with my followers: a) following - in a married state or not b) dismissed - married or not. some with the ability to sandbox in the area dismissed, the others can be married and the home set to where we live. c) in all cases the ability to have all followers, regardless of status, be in one central location. All that being said, I'm looking for a mod that reasonably provides accomodations for these followers via the proper number of beds, etc. So much for being concise, but I hope I was clear :)

As i said there are several multi-follower mods available to accomodate this. Perhaps I should have included the stipulation that the housing mod I am talking about should include/be compatible with one or more of these type of already available mods. As far as the general idea of the house, using a multi-follower mod &/or a multi-marriage mod, a player can obtain quite few followers/wives. Add to that any downloadable followers, and a central place to have them all in one area becomes very desirable. Any other functions such as you describe would be bonus content & perhaps add life/entertainment value to the residence. Just a thought...

First of all, I am not a modder nor do I wish to be. I am perfectly content leaving the modding to the pros, and we are fortunate to have many very skilled people providing us players with awesome mods. The thing I am noticing is a sparsity of a specific type of player house. Despite the popularity of the multi-follower and multi-marriage mods, there is a definite sparsity of houses that provide accommodations for multiple followers/wives. This type of player home's focus would be on the ability to provide at minimum: a) A room or rooms having a total of 8 beds for followers. b) Typical kitchen, living room, master bedroom with double bed c) Any followers/npc's included in the mod should have their own beds in addition to the 8 for the followers. d) Any other accoutrements or rooms or items like pools, etc. would be of course be welcomed, as would be any functionality of said items &/or the ability of followers/resident npc's to interact with bonus items/areas. e) In any case, the main focus of the home/castle/bunkhouse should be to provide the player with the ability to house a minimum of 8 followers and a wife - 9 total player provided characters. Thanks for reading & I look forward to hearing other opinions :)

Hmm...is this even possible? Or is it maybe too large in scope?

I have a request for someone to make a mod like this: In light of the multiple follower mods available, I find it difficult to find a medium or large style player home that provides multiple followers/wives support. Specifically beds, idle points, can set as home, etc., also crafting/storage/display areas & items, and some entertainment value such as a bathing area similar in function to the Bathing Beauties pool. Another functional idea would be to enable clothing selection such as the ability to set outfits for the NPC's (Followers) such as sleepwear (a specific outfit or nude) when in bed, daywear for around the abode, and armor for when set to follow mode. A Harem type setting was my first thought, but anything that has sleeping room for at least 8 followers/wives would be a welcome addition to the game. Preferably not in the Whiterun or Riverwood area (thinking west of Whiterun). I realize that most of these requests are available as separate mods or parts of mods, but the beauty of it would be to have it all-in-one, perhaps with overall better performance as well. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read my rambling :) Edit: i was referred to this mod from OblivionNexus. doesn't need to be this large or portable, but it's the general idea.
