Companion friendly house mods

quite roomy is something i need to add

You know there is something else.. I have roamed that area many times before I installed that mod and there were a lot of enemies roaming out there. Somehow, the modder who created this mod got rid of the enemies from coming into the entire yard space, as if there's a perimeter of safety, which is really important because of my horse, and the horses my companions sometimes ride. I have often gone out to the balcony, worried about my horse only to find him absolutely fine and safe. That's huge.

I could just hug you!! Sure if I can do anything to help out let me know! I'm good at finding stuff. :D

 

 

Hey while I've got you, can I give you my wish list I've had? Of course these are simply the things I've been wishing for myself and I will definitely defer to Aeryn's wishes since she's the one who started this!

 

Things I've been wishing for -

• COMFORTABLE CHAIRS and SOFAS - Xiamara and Zimnel are "The Man" even if they're women. And curtains!
  
• Generous Firepits and Fireplaces and a Cooking Range (pretty please!)
  
• A secret passage to mage alter or alchemy rooms (convenient to master bedroom, meaning I can lock my bedroom door and open a passage to walk to the mage quarters would be ideal, however I'd be happy with any secret passage.)
  
• A working Armory Forge like the one in this castle (it's really great but doesn't have to be so big) Hey I see he didn't mention it at all in the description. It works by adding Armory points to your armory skill when you stand next to it.
  
• A canopy bed or at least a really lovely master bed
  
• A room with a View
  
• Don't forget the STABLES and Corral.
  
• A static alchemy set (like this one I love by Academician Nwahs)
  
• Unique epic Tapestries (I have a resource if you need it)
  
• A beautiful garden and watercaping, I don't care how, if there's water I'm happy! And don't forget Aeryn's companion likes to swim!
  
• Good and evil surprises. :D
  
• Some respawning supply bins (food and beverage, alchemy staples, and INCOME, I love income even though I don't really need it, it's just comforting.)
  
• If it was truly christmas I'd get a dressing room/closet storage including a couple of female mannequins for my favorite clothes or armor outfits. and a mirror.)
  

Now there should be no doubt at this point that I'm a woman!! haha

 

 

Always fun for me is a miniature you can go inside. A lot of really good mods have these. I'd love one to be a farm, and I have a favorite farm in oblivion, that adorable little farm in BorderWatch! It's the BEST! (I want it.)

 

I could seriously be like a kid at Christmas with my wish list though, so I don't expect anything at all. I'm just excited that you're even thinking of this!

[tyreil829]

haha thanks! Myaarnd if you have the time can you look for the largest inside ( buildings castles you downloaded etc etc ) anything like that would be a great help!

 

+ Myaard if you got any Suggestsions for the mod let me know

Ok, I thought that might help and I have a list running in my head, should I send you screenshots via PM? Also, as you can see I took liberties above and made my wish list!! I had some real-life interruptions so it took a little while to send it!

 

 

Just for the record here are the tapestries (and while I'm at it -- my favorite farm) but again, I don't expect you to accommodate all/any of these whims, I know you have a good imagination and I'm sure you have some tricks up your sleeve and I'm just thrilled you want to do it!

My favorite farm: :D

I can't wait to see what's on Aeryn's wish list.

 

Good lord, don't try to fill that wish list of mine, it's great and I love it, but I think it would drive you insane! :D

[tyreil829]

geez.. you dont ask for much do you? but thank you for the great help but i cant work on it till later on in the day/tororrow but yeah it should be alright i could use more resouses though but so far great!

 

EDIT: im not going to add Mannaquins due to Conflicts i will add bits where you can add it yourself

[Aeryn333]

if you disagree you disagree and your comment is fair if we are talking size wouldnt a castle work? its big for size so your followers will not walk into anything seats beds and food for them pretty simple to make i think if you want Aeryn i could open up CS and have a go but i need to know what you fancy in it tell me here or PM me either way i have a go!

 

@Myraad cells is always a problem for Followers i only use Ruin or Soina they always stay in place

 

@ Aeryn are you useing CM Parters or Toasty says Share?

My My My this has taken off..good..This is both for you and myrmaad

 

Well what do I like..First my two companions, is the original Neeshka by Rsdnt-Eve, someone did a retake of her blonde and supposedly sexier, but I like the original one....she's been by my side from the very beginning...And I have one of the most complex companions out there Rhianna, who was built off of her..by an exceptional modder, she needs OBSE 15 her scripts are awesome, and likewise , the constant fixes, but she has finally reached a good place with just a few little niggling things left to fine tune..but she is an amazing companion and Jumonji is an awesome modder..Oh its Rhianna, that swims one of her commands now is you can swim here to relax, and she will go out in the morning, and go for a swim, nude, and in the middle of Anvil lol..I would like to get her some more privacy....carefree, Goddess she is, which is her class, BTW..Goddess in training...

 

I don't use, Toasty, or companion share or Cm partners, none of that...With my two loyal gals who needs strangers....One is mêlée Neeshka, and Rhianna is literally a Goddess in training part Goddess and part humyn..A Mage all the way...a powerful one stay out of the way of her lightening bolt..But she does heal you also..She has quite a complex personality and battle strategy.

Me I am a battlemage custom as usally..I like to mix it up, I Dl this custom Celt race, which I changed some, added Elven ears to me Celt warrior womon, for well I am part Sidhe..after all..I toned down the race a wee bit for it was overpowered..

So that me and the girls..

 

Neeshka has her water front cottage she loves it for its near her favourite haunt the bloated flaot..Rhianna needs a special place befitting a Goddess, nature oriented, and meself actually..

 

Now ya think because I am a Celt I'd like a castle..well in real life maybe..but to tell you the truth I am in real life as well as game, more of a cabin type..but with amenities..

I just get lost in big places, I like things more I don't know up close and personal..

I tell you I love living in a cave...one thats been modernised, fro lack of better word.. say part cave, part cabin..maybe it sticks into a cave, but part of it sticks out and is a cabin..

 

But a cave/cabin, toatlly pathed for a companion..say, with a waterfal ouside....must have a waterfall..Don't need alchemy for I have the spell Alchemy anywhere mod, that lets you just cast it, and it gives you all the equipment at the level your at..wherever you are.. convenient ...But A Unique sorter with a personality...A familiar cat to walk the house and when you pet her, she meows, and will give you health, and feed her crab meat and you get a luck bonus...

 

I like a nice large bed for me and companion......don't like sleeping alone..I have the mod see yourself sleep, which is quite immersive to see yourself lay down..

 

I like simple...blue bed cover.. blue is good for relaxing..It would be so cool if Welkand (sp) stones could set hues to different areas of the house, like greenish hue in living room for healing, and blue in the bedroom for peace, and maybe a lavender hue in bath...relaxation..ah a bath like in Belda Elysium mod, where you literal get in sit down,for a soak, and activate nob, steam comes up, and your health is renewed..small place yet as I said with amenities..

Like instead of this overlit, bit that many do.. I dislike bright lights candle light, or candle hues, image a house that all the rooms where not lit the same , but had hues to fit the healing energy of the room, and setting..

 

Fireplace, in bedroom, facing the double bed..as well as living room one..nice bench befroe the fireplace..in living room near, small kitchen table enough for two or three maybe....small storage for food...

 

Just a book case and dresser, and desk...liosten I am a country gal, I like the simple rustic cabin cave type of living..But a cave behind a waterfall, pathed for companions of course, would be my ideal...a stall place for my 2 horses and my unicorn..maybe a wee bit of farm like area, with flowers, veggies, and hedge around to keep out the world..

Garden, perhaps and indoor like small water fall in basement with plants from Tamerial and Oblivion ect growing in it..or around it..lit by Welkand stones..

 

A few chest for storage..though i can get that and my own lighting at Imperial Furniture..I don't like bright I like candle light..I like putting my own lighting in...I like the triple wall sconces, and the candles in a plate..

 

I do have Illumination within, so light shines outside the windows..

I looked at some of the houses myrmaad and allot of them requite Cobl which I will not use..

 

Take look at what I did for Neeshka she likes the waterfront for her favourite haunt is the Bloated float where you pick her up the first time..

 

All that was in this mod, well I selected and disabled all but the bed and fireplace.. PhotoShoppe is my thing, I went in to the texture files, and changes the lower class beds, to a teal, and some green with matching pillows, and cloned out the rips and tares..also removed some of those stupid wood wall stains..when I found them..tis easy enough..Now if I could put together what i can do in PhotoShoppe into a modded house, I be set, but other than minor changes in the CS, it baffles my dyslexia..how to actually mod a house..Textures I could create the rest forget it..

 

Then I added everything with Imperial furniture, out door lamps, a patio, with bench, end table, and a fireplace, facing the waters, nice at night when stars are out..using that platform for a throne....instead as a patio...some tall iron out door lamps for lighting and draping two tapestries, on the front side to block anyone walking onto it, you have to walk around back... who says the waterfront has to be shabby i like it there..You wouldn't believe what I did to that waterfront house..

 

I can't seem to get the right file size to upload...to show you...I might put them on my profile page...and let you know....for they are to big for here...to insert..

 

Now I just have to get my prefect house and Rhianna's with a place for secluded swim..neath a waterfall..one she can get in and out of easy and not get stuck..

 

So like did I answer both of your Q. basically ask away if I did not....la

 

Cheers mates..

 

 

 

 

[Aeryn333]

Well personally I don't want it far from civilisation just outside it, so Rhianna, can go into town for her free afternoons, close yet away, she likes to gab with the city folks, there are a few waterfalls, not way up in the Mtes..

If its small castle, no NPCs or villages..OK..

I still like the idea, of it being built partly, into a cave, where perhaps the in the cave part is small waterfall with the Tamrial /Oblivion ingredients would gather round it... then the cabin or small castle as part outside of the cave, near a waterfall accessible for Rhianna to swim and not get stuck.unable to get out of water..

So whether, cabin or small castle with the things I mentioned in previous post, and not way up in mtes, but utilise one of the closer waterfalls to a town she can travel to short walking distance..and as I said pathed so companion can utilise it fully..

What about my lighting idea, and the bath and cat...???Any thoughts..???

If you want textures altered in any way,as I said Photoshope is my thing let me know..

I used to make very complex skins for Unreal Tournment 3 & 4 with panners and shaders..before I got hooked on RPG..

I only wish we had the Unreal Editor to make mods with..in Oblivion..

 

Like I see it all in my head but cannot do in CS..la..its a dyslexia thing..I am more of an engineer than the constructionist..I only learned skinning for I had a good mentor in UT..that taught me long distance hands on how to..If I had that for Oblivion, you should see the ideas, I have in my head, and mods ect..But cest le vie..I've read tutorials, are greek to me..with my dyslexia I need hands on how to step by step until I learn then I do amazing things.. and very few people are willing to mentor someone as I got in UT.

 

I have taken others mods for my personal use and drastically changed them, for my own use as long as there are texture files..I have changes the games texture files also..

So I have to depend on someone perhaps willing to take my idea and implement them and work with me on them...maybe one day I will find someone who will then maybe I could contribute to this community like I want to..

 

Cheers mate..

any town in perefence? there is a problem with this if you think about it size you dont want it to big but if i dont make to big there will be problems as in Rhianana cant move around much i need to rethink the plan and get more resouses

 

have you seen the DLC Battlehorn Castle? is that size you wanting? because untill we can find a good place what size you want and finally found a way to get the mod up and going i can suggest a mod ( you may have heard of ) but has a teleport to other houses you buy in towns

 

to be honest i really dont have the patenice to sit here 1-10 days working on a mod that may/will get undownloaded etc etc but i will have a play for a laugh or Aeryn i could make the outside as you want and interoirs but you add what you like?
