Andyross1962 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Looking through all the player homes on Nexus none of them seem 'home-like' enough for me. Either tey are huge castles or little cottages or the 'Lore' has been mutilated. I decided to build my own. I was taken by'LancesExpanded Whitewatch'. I liked the idea of an old location re used. I decided to use the Whiterun Walls as my basis with some of the Whiterun buildings as the main player home. I am trying to get the feel of an old Imperial Fort that has had a new Manor House built into it. Outside will be a village with an Inn, Store, Blacksmiths and several farm cottages clustered against the walls . Many castles attracted settlements, they provided services in return for protection. I don't want a huge 'Trophy Room stuffed with rows and rows of display cases and weapon racks mannequins etc. I am after the atmosphere of a home rather than a museum, somewhere that has been there for years and years slowly building up. A Main Hall, Kitchen, staff quarters and a realistic number of bedrooms. In the Cellars a crafting area with smithing, enchanting and alchemical facilities, a small display room a Brewery and a relaxing 'club' for the guards and staff. I n the grounds a Guardhouse with stairs down to the cellars but seperate from the main building. Apart from some NPCs there isn't anything new, it's all copied and renamed from other parts of the game. I want it to blend in and be a part of the landscape. I chose a low hill near the road by Redorans retreat, it is fairly close to the centre of the map and allows easy travel to most places. I have put in a bunch of NPCs to populate the place, a Trader, Innkeeper, Smith, a town guard and some farmers. Inside the Manor are a bunch of guards a Housekeeper and a Cook.
