Tetris22 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 So ive been sort of passively searching for a few days on the nexus and various other sites looking for a house mod that could fit my specifications, i don't know if its a little much (inb4THECREATIONKITJUSTCAMEOUT,WAIT) but if somebody could either reference me to a mod that already exists or describe mods that fit this description i would be very appreciative... 1. I was looking for something first off that sort of fit within the lore of skyrim. There are many houses out there they have a pretty good feel to them but there a little overpowered since the way you get them is really downloading the file without any real challenge, not to mention the boosts that a lot of them have.. 2. looking for one on its own area not really in the vicinity of a town whiteview manor was close to what i wanted but its just sooo dam close to whiterun that it didnt work for me (for some reason i always sort of visualized the dovahkiin not wanting to be in a populated town with people bugging him about being the legendary dragonborn all day...) for me scenery around the house is important so figured that the mod having the pick of the pot of most of skyrim could choose a place that looks really nice.. 3. This is a big one for most when dealing with house mods and its allowing spouses and followers into the home, I know that a lot of modders get stumped when they hit this wall as ive read but the developer of whiteview manor did in fact find the solution to this and has made a sort of tutorial of how.. the link is at his mod page. 4. Slightly original design would also be a plus some of the house mods i see are just houses jabbed into different areas that really never had a good feel for the environment ( Whiteview was also missing this part as it was just sort of different version of the battle born house..) 5. A necessity of most of the utilities anvils, forge, enchanting table, all that and a dime sack.. ( i believe most modders start out from here and move along in there list of to-do's) not to mention i was hoping maybe 8 mannequins? if not there are mods i have now that allow me to place mannequins wherever i please so not a gigantic thing but a large amount ( maybe 10 or so) of weapon racks and displays would be great..oh and lets not forget what a lot of modders have been doing and putting maybe a mask display for the dragon priests? 6. The quest to get the house doesn't have to be very extensive, hell i wouldn't care if it was just a series of notes that led to the house as long as it is sort of logical and compares up the lore of the game, i always figured somebody could use the anonymous letters from a friend prompts (except it doesn't have to be delivered by courier could just be on the ground somewhere, like your first house or something) the only thing that kinda annoys me (no offense to the modders who do this) is the NPC based quests to get the house, yah i know it sort of makes since with the lore and all that but the modders voice doesn't really pare up very nicely to the whole game its very distinct what is the modded part and what isn't...i figure a series of notes couldn't really be distinguished so easily..i also dont really care about NPCs native to the house since i usually just delete them anyway unless somebody is planning on marking guards or something... 7. A cool name is at the bottom of my list but something that also sort of mixes with the lore ( not something like "billy made this house") dragon falls manor had a cool name on it ( that's the developers name, don't take it) but something along that line that says this is the dragonborns house... Its a shame for me all of the mods i described all have things i like about them but there each missing an important aspect, if i could figure out how to sort of mix and match them i would but sadly im a noob at the creation kit (seems ironic asking for so much but knowing so little about how its done) So im forced to throw myself down at the mercy of the community to at least help point me in the right direction. I'm also open to mods that are not on the nexus ( i know no loyalty but gotta get what you gotta get) if some of you have resources beyond this site.
