I downloaded this mod yesterday (version 0.2) and I wanted to tell you I love it. I am playing Oblivion Remastered in VR (using UEVR) and the house looks amazing!! Honestly I do not think you need to add much more to it. The only thing I can possibly think of is the ability to add fire to the fireplace (and maybe cooking pot? Is that a thing in Oblivion, this is my first time playing it. I am a Skyrim guy).
I like the partially empty feel since it is supposed to be abandoned (and likely was up for sale). As it is now, it feels like the previous owners may have left in a hurry, and hey... I call squatter's rights! Version 0.2 is just perfect for me starting out in a game I always heard about but never played until now!
That said, I plan to update to 0.3 just to check out that nifty basement you added.
Really only the fall damage thing I think might need sorted out, but I modded my game to lower fall damage anyway, expecting that I was going to install this house mod.I have not died yet...
Happily endorsed this mod!! Keep up the awesome work!
That is a good idea, thank you for doing that. I have not played yet today but I will go ahead and download 0.3. I am thinking i should probably leave the house and save in another cell before updating it first. The house is so cozy that 5 hours into the game I still have not left the area yet to do the main quest. I'm going to say it is the music. The music makes me feel right at home. LOL.
Love the location and what you've done so far. Look forward to you fixing the fall damage issue and further clutter an furniture being added would be nice if second bedroom upstairs became a little study or something 😀
I think i'll keep it a bedroom for future follower integration but i could certainly expand the basement with a study corner, i'll add it to the next update.
And definitely trying my best fixing the top door, hope its done soon.
...and you did this without modding tools....this has to be the best house mod made for this game so far. incredible work, i love the location and the design. fits perfectly thank you
You may want to toss this into xEdit along with Haphestia's Fix and Port Script. That should fix some of the NL name issues, as well as add some of the new XAAG and XACN records the old Oblivion Creation kit can't do. I'd also open up yours mod in there and goto [CELL:00023777] (in Tamriel [WRLD:0000003C]) right click on the TamrielLeveledRegion.esp and go a copy as overwrite (with overwriting), then select your mod, to copy all the other Remastered records over for that cell, so they aren't removed by your mod. No telling what missing records will do down the road, since we don't know what all of them do yet.
I know of the FN_LOC thing since i already had to use it for the teleport marker to show a correct name. But since there is no custom names / new cells yet where i can truely name this "Lakeheart Manor" i don't see too much of a point.
Excellent work! I just downloaded version 3. Is there any chance that a future update may include a spell making alter by the enchanting alter? If/When there is an update, will I need to restart my game?
Yes i'll add a Spell making altar in that room next, i forgot about it but changing it would take multiple hours now.
You don't have to restart your game at all for this mod! (: And you don't have to move your item either since i'm only adding chests/containers so your items should be save when updating as well.
ngl looks excellent so far, kinda wanna see a small fish pond for fish and mud crabs to farm for alchemy and such or for pets, or an atronach station? will there be a larger version later on? maybe adding a basement? id try myself but im hopeless at anything more compicated than txt edits, at any rate thx for the excellent new player home. also id be willing donate to help support the mod, Keep on Rocking.
Basement, Enchanting, Stable & more update coming within the next 2-3 hours! And it should save all your items in the chests, i'm only adding containers never removing them so you can update the house at any time.
I'll look into adding a small pond in future updates.
Would it be possible if you could make a version where I had to pay an NPC for ownership and access of the housing in-game? I just would like to be able to "earn it" through means of gameplay rather than simply walking on over and settling in.
Absolutely! Glad to share your awesome work, since you were so kind to put in the time and research to create one of the first home mods on this engine for us!
Blackpaw69, I love a good player house that is not opulent and out of whack. :) Nice location and pleasant size without killing the vibe. :)
Only real suggestions for me would be an enchant station, and some display cases, wall plaques, dummies, etc for goodies later. :) Thanks very much for your time and efforts. :) Nice job! -BigE

Hope you're enjoying the 0.3 version.
I'm also always leaving the old versions up in case you want to go back to previous ones.

As soon as thats possible i'll update it.

Hope you enjoy it.
I'll add an option to either pay for it or use a "cheat-chest" with the key inside soon.
For now everyone has to make it up with their consciousness if they want to "burn" some gold for it somewhere :)
And thank you for the amazing video on it!

Enchanting / Spell station coming in 0.3 within the next 48 hours (:
I'll also take a look into the display cases etc.
