Upgrade to ver 2.1
==================
From ver 2.0:
Just replace the esp and bsa and keep on playing

from ver 1:
Some of the basement containers have been replaced, and in order to upgrade, you must therefore remove all items you have stored in the previous basement containers (exception: the drawers and the winecrate)
(I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I felt the new modder-made containers would work so much better).

Beautiful work, will DL as the first mod I try Emma.

[Emma]

Thank you, hope you will like it . It's the first mod I've made with the new ck, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I have managed to add all files (it sounds like if I have; no complaints so far).

[MadocMayhem]

I did Emma thanks, the location was great, the dialogue and voice nice.
The whole thing perfect, in fact going to run through all my characters and buy up the cottage with them.

[cryptsofthedead]

Cool Emma! Will check this out whenever I actually get to play the game! lol.

[Emma]

I have upgraded this mod to ver 1.1:

New in ver 1.1
==============
Added two chests to the outdoor forge area and a chest to the outdoor crafting area.
Added a custommade winecrate (container) and a shelf.
Made the lute on the wall a container (and put the real lute inside it); that way it won't fall of the wall.
Attended to some minor cosmetic issues with the content of the mead-keg and the grinding wheel.
Replaced the wav-files for Katla with smaller xwm-files.

[MadocMayhem]

Installed it now, the lute idea is good, a nice little stash box for gems.
Hmm or maybe like Desperado, an assassin bards old weapon cache.
A fold away bow worked in, and daggers secreted.. got the mind wondering.

Will check out the wine crate as well, the chest sounds good for smithing equipment.

[cryptsofthedead]

Ok... I'm getting really jealous. lol. I might have to swipe the credit card soon and get a new system so I can play Skyrim and these wonderful abodes you're making Emma!

[nostra1]

Wow, I might get this one. I actually like the houses given in the game but I don't think any of them have full smithing (with some minor things like being able to make leather from hides in the house you get in Riften).

Is this close to Solitude?

[Emma]

Yes, it's very close to Solitude and with an excellent view. If you want a modest place outside the city wall, you might like this. (Myself, I've always felt Proudspire manor was a bit too much for me).

[nostra1]

Thanks Emma! I downloaded the file. However, I also uninstalled Steam from my PC so that I would not get so addicted to Skyrim again. If I ever load up Skyrim again (most likely if I buy Dawnguard), I will load up this house. It really looks great.

[Emma]

I've made a thorough rework of this old house-mod and among other things added new custom crafting facilities. Please read the description, or take a look at the new video: www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=L0_cxvjBuJs

[Emma]

I have updated the cottage to ver 2.1 and added an outdoor hot water bathtub with panorama view for you and your followers. Npcs using it will undress/dress automatically.

[wotan]

Nice

[mewgull]

I really got down to playing Skyrim in earnest those last weeks, not least because of Vilja. I was just about to ask if there is anything like Aleswell Cottage from Oblivion for Skyrim. Seems like I do not have to search any longer.
