LE Heljarchen Vale, it takes a village- Assistance with textures, pathing, and such

[Rabidartist]

I have this mod I am working on, adding a small, quiet village around Heljarchen Hall. I have the basic gist of what I would like to accomplish lined out, but as I am new to modding I, unfortunately, lack the necessary skill to accomplish all I would like. As it is it would actually function as a passable mod, but I would like it to be more than just "Okay". A few basic things (well, basic for any of you fine, pro modders):

 

-Terrain adjustments- there are a few areas that I most definitely need to alter to make everything sit as it should.

- Pathing- So my NPC's and followers stop trying to walk through everything and learn how to use the D*** stairs!

- NPC schedules- I swear for the life of me I am following everything to the T and I still cannot get the NPC residents to do what I want them to.

- TEXTURE WORK- It is in caps because this is a big one! I have a few ideas I would like to implement, Such as a custom Inn sign, custom banners, a sign that says "Heljarchen Vale", and this Idea I had for the orchard near the town, a "Frostapple". Like a light blue with the frost magic effect. Also a bottle of Frostapple Cider with the same concept.

 

A few more, not-so-simple idea's for later.

 

-Make the town buildable (or buyable)- either through an added NPC or the Steward, pay to have each home and business in the town built.

- Hireable- as it is I will be relying on the Immersive recruitment and MHIYH mods to fill in the population gaps. there are several NPC's already in Heljarchen Vale, but the point is to have some available homes to move your favorite Skyrimians in to, as well as your own staff at the Hall itself. I have no problem relying on these other mods, but an included system would be nice too.

- Tax/Rent- Something that makes the town worth while. maybe simple like a chest in the Treasurers Office that gives gold to the player based on how many residents/ businesses are currently in the town. Also maybe a little profit from the Orchard.

- Some Voice Acting- Not a lot and a combination of vanilla voice altering and actual voice acting would be nice to add that realistic, interactive feeling (instead of just relying on notes and journals to fill in these peoples stories.)

- Personal quests- this is a long shot, but as homes are built and new residents come to the Vale, they will visit the Main Hall and hold audience with the Dragonborn, resulting in a small quest to which you can receive various rewards for the town (something like if you complete, let's say, the merchants quest you are given the choice of 5 separate banners, the one you chose being the one that will hang in the town, or the Priest will give you a choice of which god is worshipped at the temple)

 

My goal is to make this as immersive as possible while maintaining a fairly vanilla feel, so no wild, crazy giant statues of out of place material. I am fully aware that the majority of these things will never happen, but if anyone would be willing to help me out I would be very grateful (and you would obviously get credit for your work.)
