Moorwen Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I've always been dissatisfied the houses presented in the vanilla Skyrim, and it was from this original dissatisfaction I discovered the nexus some time ago. Over the many months I attempted to find a house that suited my tastes but there were so many mods which just felt too immersion breaking for my liking. I mean I can't be the only one who finds houses filled with giant chests, 15 mannequins, and a full smith in the living room a bit too much for someone who enjoys immersion. It was from this desire I started gravitating towards very simple player homes, cave home mods, and even made use of some of the safe storage in very odd places throughout Skyrim. My request to have someone create a player home done in the style of an ancient Nordic monument or tomb. I like the style of Dustman's cairn for the outside entrance, however if this proves too difficult for some reason a simple ruin outside the cave with the traditional Nordic Barrow door would be acceptable. I would prefer the inside to be rather simple, and keeping with the theme of the ancient Nord style, this would mean all or at least the vast majority of the furnishings would be the type used in ancient Nord tombs. I'd rather not have a hundred storage vessels and chests sitting around but a few here and there to serve as a practical use decoration would be fine. A couple of simple rooms fitted with the typical Nordic doors and other such furnishings would be all I would need. A central area with some sort of fire pit would also be quite appealing for the immersion aspect. I'm not interested in having anything inside for crafting, a cooking pot would fit in though. As for sleeping arrangements, if it can be set up that a housecarl and/family can be moved in I'd like to have appropriate sleeping quarters for at least 3 people and this would include a master bedroom. The premise of the house is pretty simple. The Barrow was once the sight of an archaeological excavation, the bodies of Draugr were taken away for display and analysis, as were many of the small artifacts (linen wraps, embalming tools). The rooms that are present were excavated and partially restored. Eventually the dig started to reveal precious gems and gold and when word got out Bandits raided the tomb killing off any archaeologists and looting the valuables. I implore anyone who wishes to take on this project to use their artistic license freely, but please keep within the ancient nordic theme as much as possible. Ultimately the location of where it is placed, and the name of it will be up to the designer. Reference Materials (interior and exterior photos): Saarthal Volskygge Dustman's Cairn P.S.

DreadWalker101 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I Was actually searching for the same thing. As I cannot find anything that meets my requirements, I am going to make it myself. http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Folgunthur The main room (with the boss) in this dungeon is what I want for the primary section of the Tomb, seeing as we both want basically the same thing, with some minor changes, I would like to include you in the development process. Is this roughly what you want? if not, please detail. I AM going to include 1 mannequin, HOWEVER this is just for my character's roleplaying purposes. I can make another version without. What furniture should this include? Furthermore, WHERE should the exterior entrance be, roughly, on the map. for my purposes, I do not really care, as I am just going to teleport in and out with Mark/Recall style things.

DragonPriest1 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Ya its a good idea, I made a mod request not that long ago to see if someone could make a mod to be able to go to Delvin Mallory and request him to rebuild the Falkreath Dark Brotherhood sanctuary and make it into a player home.

Jokerine Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) How is this project coming along? I was thinking that I could give it a shot, since I love making houses, unless somebody else is already working on it :smile: EDIT: Hm, I hadn't noticed how long ago this was requested. Nevermind then. Edited November 15, 2013 by Jokerine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
