[size=15]-DESCRIPTION-[/size]
This is a repost The Hotspring Hideout, an underground cave hideout for the Dovahkiin and his/her followers with a unique style that lends its self to all types of characters, good evil and everything in between. The original mods blew up into several cells most of which involved very long load screens. The Grotto Edition is reduced everything down to one cell. As such there’s still a considerable load time what with all the content crammed into one cell. The house is navmeshed but not culled with room markers, portals and such. The home is lore friendly (in so far as I can tell) and hidden just of the road that runs along the south coast of Lake Ilinata in Falkreath. There’s a small garden around the entrance that features a few plants and bugs plus more plants in planters inside at the alchemy station. There’s a large pond in the center of the cave with a variety of fish for cooking and alchemy. For a complete list of features scroll down to the FEATURES section.

Since the last posting I've shuffled the clutter/movable statics a tad and with the help of Foaman removed the requirements for DLC. I've also opted for a brighter lighting template which allowed me to remove a large number of light sources. Additionally I removed the malfunctioning book case above the enchanting table and replaced it with a static. All this should result in improved performance.
