Yourinteractive player home in Skaal Village
Introduction: In my latest Skyrim play-through I decided toroleplay as a member of the Skaal of Solstheim, a fairly interesting group of
Nords who don't worship the Nine Divines, nor the Deadra, but the All-Maker.
When I started to play I was using Elionora's fabolous Nordbotten shack from
her collection Skaal you need. As time flew by and my character was growing older, I finallydecided to switch from Skyrim's LE to Special Edition, only to find Elionora's
mod not compatible for the newer version (at least in my setup). So I decided
to build my own player home in Skaal Village, inspired by the Nordbotten Shack,
which was incredibly cozy and immmmersive. This is the backport from the SE version due to "popular demand". Toeven more enhance play value and uhmmersiveness Iwanted to add interactive features such as fireplaces you have to manually
light with firewood you have to manually chop, or goats you can actually, manually
milk. You will actually have to work to keep your house warm and lit, and to
keep yourself fed (if you use a needs mod). PLUS all these things are animated,
you actually see your character doing that stuff!
So if that's not an immersive af player home, show me what is!
Features,for those too lazy to read:
- A cozy,comfortable and detailed player home in Skaal Village
-Interactive fireplaces and woodpiles with usually NPC-exclusive animations foryour character
-Interactive goats: Approach them, milk them, and get yourself that milk.
Buckets included. (animated)
- Acustom shrine to the All-Maker on your balcony (animated)
- Abalcony. Two, actually.
- Hearthfire's crops
On top ofthose your usual necessities are available, such as an extensive cooking
station, an alchemy table, lots of specialized containers, a grinding gear,
weapon and armor displays and so on. I decided not to add a forge, a smelter,
or a working bench to the player home, as the Skaal's forge is just outside.
There is also no enchanting table, because I prefer to use Campfire's
enchanting gear.
REQUIRESHEARTHFIRE!
How to light a fire:
For all you roleplayers out there I added this feature to manually light your
fireplaces using firewood. I you have at least 4 pieces of firewood in your
inventory, approach one of the firewood piles and activate. You will then have
the option to either click
TAKE -> to access woodpile and use itas a container (use it to store your firewood)
or to click
PICK UP -> your character will playthe animation of picking up firewood
=> Now you should walk to a fireplace, and your character will light it.The fire will burn for some hours, 4 pieces of firewood from your inventory
will be consumed.
CAREFUL! You can't interact with your sourroundingswill carrying firewood, your character will be locked in the animation until
you dropped the firewood in the fireplace
How to milk goats:
Simply approach one of your goats in the front yard and activate it. A bucket
will drop and an animation will play, a jug of milk will be added to your
inventory. It's that simple, also in real life. You should just try that out,
really.
Disclaimer: None of the interactive functions wasdesigned or coded by me, I used various resources and incorporated them in my
mod.
- Eli's Resources
- WindChime by Tamira (Assorted Resources)
- Lolicept resources
- Simple Cow and Goatmilking (goat milking function)
- Leaf Rest (interactive fireplaces function)
Possible future expansion:
- animated gardening (as in Leaf Rest)
- Interactive wash basins
- more detailed clutter
