AurianaValoria1 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I'm in the middle of making a dungeon/house mod in Ayleid style. Basically, none of the enemies or containers respawn, so when you clear the place out it's yours to keep. But what makes a house mod a proper player home? I already have: 1) Teleportation spell to return whenever you want2) Massive amounts of storage3) Spellmaking/Enchanting "altars"4) A place to sleep with room for a companion5) Healing altar with the same script as an Altar of the Nine What else would make it appealing as a home? Can anyone offer any advice? Thanks! :)Auri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I'm already working on that part. :thumbsup: I'm trying really hard to make it look fancy without looking cluttered. Anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3rman123 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Make the architecture interesting and unique. Building a house out of the Ayleid tileset by itself is boring. Different heights always give interest to an interior. Try making some features other than vanilla. WillieSea's Ancient Towers is a prime example of all the features a house needs (Although the interior design's not my preference). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice and frosty looking. Very unique. I'll take a gander at Ancient Towers and see if I can come up with anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hickory Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 You cannot make a player home that will please everybody. That is the most important thing to keep in mind, and to that end you must concentrate on making the home how *you* like it, how *you* think it should look and feel. Believe me, if you pander to what other people think/want it will be a mish-mash. Make it your own, and don't worry about things that others might or might not like.

Big deal, if you like it, and others like it, then your mod is a success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunmermaiden Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Having things to do is a big drawcard. Like baking bread making weapons. It's the magic of scripting but take a look at Korana's houses. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a fair amount of unusual scripting in already. I'm rather pleased with it. :) Should be releasing fairly soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
