RedCorttana Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 The Bloated Man's Grotto is one of the most beautiful areas in Skyrim (in my opinion). I would love to have a small home in the cave/area so I can enjoy the amazing view! Nothing too big, simple, and blends into the area well. I know a few people for sure that would love this as well. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted6753740User Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) That would be a great place for a house. Right in the center overlooking the entire area. Edited May 19, 2017 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvanhorn Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Definitely the most beautiful in Skyrim. I think it'd be a wonderful place for a house. Unfortunately, the "Ill Met by Moonlight" quest wrecks the place. :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander9009 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) Regarding the place being messed up after a certain quest, UESP actually lists a very simple way to put it back to the way it was. There are a few different ways it could be handled. As simple as either running the command when you're ready (simplest for the modder) or adding a button with that marker as its enable parent such that activating the button disables the marker (simple for both), or catching the beginning and end of the quest and triggering the change automatically when the player transitions (simplest for the player, most difficult for the modder). Out of curiosity (I've got several mods I'm planning to work on of my own soon, so I probably won't be doing this, sorry), where would you want the house? I had a look and found a few locations that could be suitable based on what you're going for. I'd expect it to be really simple, with probably nothing more than something like Anise's Cabin without the basement (could even keep the basement if desired). Over the waterfall (by the gold mine) would be a good one. Since the gold mine is there, it's clear the player is supposed to be able to get there, and I thought it'd be a cool touch to have a rope ladder that's rolled up at the top. Make it up there normally once and you can unroll the ladder to get up with ease in the future (and probably add a map marker for instant arrival, and mark it as possible to fast travel from the location as well). Another location, if you're wanting a simple camp, would be to simply have a camp near the entrance, just like there's one there during the quest. And the other location I thought of (didn't realize Zyris already mentioned it) was on the central rock area that the whole path winds around. It'd take a bit more fiddling to get it to look right here, but with it up high like that, it wouldn't interfere with the quest, you wouldn't really see the house itself much from below, and you could get a nice view of the grotto in any direction.

Deleted6753740User Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 One idea would to be to just copy the entire grotto, rename it and then remove any residual quest related items. By doing this you won't risk the quest, you can make the grotto how you want, and place it anywhere in the world you desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
