Leyawiin Lake House ver 1.0


Description


Leyawiin Lake House is located on an island slightly north of Leyawiin, accessible from a bridge close to White Stallion Lodge. Here, the weather is nicer than in the Leyawiin city, and you can enjoy the company of swans and ducks as you spend an evening outdoors viewing the Topal Bay. The house is filled with crafting facilities, and you have the option to buy your own sheep for wool production.
You buy the house at Leyawiin Best Goods and Guarantees.

Leyawiin Lake House is made from one of Stroti's house models, tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=41086 .It is companionfriendly, lorefriendly and includes an abundance of crafting facilities (ingame crafting manual is provided). It includes a double-bed and two bedrolls that can be enabled for companions to sleep on. There is plenty of storage space - +35 nonrespawning containers in the main area and +70 nonrespawning containers in the basement. There is also a small garden and a stable.

New in ver 1.1

- Use the boat at the pier behind the house to travel to the Leyawiin Gate. The boat will wait for you outside Leyawiin when you want to go back home.
- A Mudcrab trap has been added to the pier.
- You can now also chop and saw wood and use them to make your own wooden statues.
- Two trellises and more flora has been added to the garden.The hedge has been adjusted in an attempt to make it look more "natural".
- Small changes to the interior: some of the tapestries have been replaced with new ones. A better sewing kit has been added. The placement of the bedrolls and some containers have been adjusted.The cooking facility has been extended with Mud crab soup.

- you may give your companions additional orders while in the cottage. In order to do this, make sure that they each carry a "companion key" which can be found in a small chest on a drawer upstairs. (You may have to make sure that your companion is not in following mode when you give the additional orders, else it might not work properly).
- daylight will automatically vanish during the night hours.
- You may use the boat at the pier behind the house to travel back and forth to Leyawiin. Activate the oar in order to travel.
- the containers are non-respawning, with some exceptions: the wool barrels, and the trashbin in the basement. These containers are clearly marked as "RESPAWNING"


COBL-addon

A COBL-addon is provided for COBL-users. It will add the following features:

- The Luggage - is located close to the entrance, under the stair, but is only available if you have found the original Luggage in Anvil.
- Alchemy sorter - is located at stairs close to the alchemy desk.
- A grinder is placed on the alchemy desk.
- Dinnerplate is placed on the dinnertable.
- One of the kegs in the basement will give water if you are using a survival mod.
- The outdoor well will also provide water.

I have choosen to make a COBL-add-on instead of a full COBL-version. My main reason for this is that I tend to continue to tinker on and improve my mods, and then I don't want to have to alter two esps. Obviously, the add-on has to load AFTER Leyawiin House mod, else many of the COBL-functions won't work.

(I was out of internet a few days last week, so I decided to finish up this mod that has been on my harddrive for many, many months

I stopped reading at make Coffee and downloaded.

Uhm... unless you can find a way, I think it will be very hard to get the coffee through the screen. I have tried with Vilja and strawberries.

I just had a couple of very strange mental images. It's very difficult explaining I was licking the screen by accident.

Thank you Emma for this house! It's my favorite already by far! (now if I can only find it's twin in the 3-diamentional realm!?) :-/

Well, I don't think anyone would want to live in a place as rainy as Leyawiin in real-life . Luckily, the weather is better on this little island, well, at least a little better.

Dear Emma,

I live in Oregon where it rains so much that usually no one bothers to use an umbrella! You can adapt to it! (and once you've grown webbing between your toes, you're considered an Oregonian!). But it would be nice to live somewhere I could dry out sometimes!

The pacific north west. Liquid sunshine. But Oregano doesn't know what rain really is. You have to go up to Seattle (Sealtite) for that. 300+ days of precipitation a year.

Does Vilja like this house? I recall her really disliking Leyawiin generally. She certainly likes Red Rose Manor:)

[Emma]

This mod has been upgraded to ver 1.1, see description in the first post.

There are no massive changes, but some notable improvements, like the boat to Leyawiin, and some new features, like the option to make wooden statues.

(Yes, Thenryb, Vilja does like this house but there is no Vilja-add-on for it).

Thank you! Don't know how I missed this previously but am downloading now.

And a generic thank you for all you've done for Morrowind and Oblivion, neither would be as enjoyable without you.
