LE Pinewatch Lumber Mill (Player Business Idea)

[rage0976]

So, it's occurred to me that Pinewatch presents a pretty unique opportunity to finally have something expanded around Lakeview, much in the tradition of Heljarchen Farm and Windstad Mine. Both of these mods breathe a while new breath of life into their respective lands, but all Lakeview has ever had is a gaudy makeover that just adds way too much stuff and is not remotely lore friendly. I always wondered what sort of business would work for it, then it came to me. It's already right there.

 

When doing the Thieves guild quest for Pinewatch, you learn the tenant is a woodsman. Falkreath is mostly a giant forest, so why not set up something for purchasing and building the Pinewatch property? Of course, the vanilla building should remain untouched, since it's a major guild quest location, or at least have minimal editing. But the land around it (expanding out from Lakeview, so as not to interfere with any Lakeview overhauls) is ripe for the picking. Make arrangements to build a small lumbering settlement around Pinewatch, like the WIndstad Mine and Heljarchen Farm mods.

 

I lack the scripting knowledge this would require, but I'm sure someone out there could create such a mod, and it would make perfect sense, given the location. Then all three properties could finally have some sort of business attached to them for the player to run.

 

Anyway, that's my idea, if anyone would like to take up this task. I am pretty decent at some aspects of modding, and would be happy to help out in any way I can if someone were willing to give it a shot.

 

Happy gaming all!

sorry for my bad english,

there some mod similar but different, it called "trading route",

in simple way it make price item in every jarl territory different,

you can buy something in reach and sell in riften, then you will gain profit,

 

ok, i know that not you looking for,

but making auto trading, auto travel, auto report not will done under a week,

 

if you prefer economic game, i suggest you play other game,

some game that i suggest is "Founders of the North" warcraft 3 map

I appreciate that. It's not really that I'm looking for something economic. I like the immersion of having the player run businesses like Heljarchen Farm and Windstad Mine, and wanted something similar for Pinewatch just outside of Lakeview Manor. I don't care for the economic aspect of it that much. I like the expansion of functionality from the vanilla game. That's all. ^_^

but if you like "Your spouse store"

(when you marriage in skyrim, you get 100 gold each day (cumulative) from your spouse,

it really doable, though i cannot make the mod for you because my mod skill is poor,

There is a mead business mod that doubles as a player house if you're interested

[rage0976]

Sounds pretty cool, but Heljarchen Farm already has a meadery. I wanted a mill because Falkreath is a forest, full of trees, perfect for a lumber mill. There used to be a mod for Oldrim that let you build a mill across the lake from Lakeview, but the author has long since stopped supporting it, and I'm on SSE now, so can't really get it anymore. I could try porting it, but it had a lot of SKSE functionality that I'm afraid would get lost in translation with SKSE64. Too bad. It was actually one of my favorite mods.
