Astrum Chateau is a small to medium-sized estate by Lake Ilnalta that has all you could need inside a picturesque package. All crafting amenities are provided, as well as an underground grotto to grow plants of all kinds for the budding alchemist, secret little cupboards to store your plethora of forbidden and dangerous items, and a large study full of books to show how educated you are. A grand home with all you would need to live immersively, including a bathroom, laundry, a fully stocked kitchen, room for two children, and a large guest room for a follower, with the top floor being a dedicated space for you and your spouse.

Lake Ilinalta is a very mod-heavy location, but I wanted a player home of my own by the lake for my player character to use, so there is a chance there will be more incompatibilities than what is listed. Tree overhauls will likely cause clipping and some items to be floating, but if there is a consistent issue with a mod, please bring it to my attention, and I can invest in making a patch.

Incompatible: (House on the same spot)
Winterstone Castle SE
Millwater Retreat
Mirele Bismath Reborn
Dragonstead (SE)
Cozy Lakeside Cabin
Blue Creek Estate SSE
Fea's Riverwood Cabin Enhanced

Patches Available:
Kaidan 2
Fabled Forest - Mythic, Default and Vanilla Versions
Skalds Mail



Requirements:
Backported Extended ESL Support - This is for those not using the most up-to-date version of Skyrim.

Bugs and Fixes:
Fixed the shield teleporters so they remain static to the maps in the study.
Extended the stables as it didnt house a horse correctly.
Reduced the amount of light markers inside the house as it caused lots of flickering.
Reduced the amount of towels/blankets as it was causing a large frame rate drop.
Fixed the listing price, which was different from the actual cost.
Storage and bar were added to the blacksmith area and the bar.
Fixed the red nirnroot issue in the grotto.
Removed some of the game-lagging meshes.

Installation:
Either place files in a data folder or preferably use a Mod Manager like MO2 or Vortex.
Remove files to delete.
If the house isn't purchased beforehand, it can be installed throughout the game, but ideally, start a new one.
When updating, remove all items out of the house before updating in case items are deleted.

Future Ideas:
Adding a BYOH system in.
Adding in teleporters.

Recommended Mods:
TMPheonix’s Hearthfire Multiple Adoption - to adopt multiple children.
Fish Anywhere With Water - to get the most out of the home regarding the dock right off your house.
Extra Plantable Plants - to take advantage of the soils.
