ELVEN_GARDENS_APARTMENT
Kendo 2

This mod adds a player-owned apartment to the IC Elven gardens District. It's small, but there are upgrades to make it very livable. You will need to speak to Vinicia Melissaeia at the Office of Imperial Commerce in the IC Market District to purchase the pad. You may have to raise her Disposition to get her to sell you the place. Once you talk to her the quest starts and markers will lead you the rest of the way. I duped the vanilla house quests to a tee with quest updates, markers, fully voiced dialogue, etc. It plays out exactly like a vanilla quest. You'll never notice the difference.

What the house does NOT contain is ANY cheats. No altars, no Arcane University hardware, nothing like that. It's a house fashioned in the vanilla mold. And there are no crates or barrels in the living areas. I hate that in vanilla houses.

I DID add two extras. There is a map marker so you can fast travel to your front door (which should have been in the vanilla game anyway) and a smokin' hot blonde maid that you can dress in what ever you want, since Joel TheMadMole gave me permission to use his 'The Romancing of Eyja' container scripts. C'mon, I'm Kendo. Would you expect anything less out of me? XD XD XD The maid has a daily AI schedule and is fully voiced.

The mod uses vanilla clothing and body models so it is compatible with whatever body mod you use so long as it has Rens support files.

Oh, and the mod is 100% G-rated, none of my usual antics this time. Sorry.

MOD REQUIREMENTS:
Ren_Beauty_Pack
(only the files are needed)

CREDTIS:
Big huge giant credits got to Joel TheMadMole, who created the ‘Gone With The Wind’ of companion mods, The Romancing of Eyja. Another serious dose goes to Barabus for the Cook Range, another great idea overlooked by the original game designers. There were four playtesters but they may not want their names associated with mine, so THANKS GUYS for pointing out what I missed. All of you saved me a bundle of work.

ISSUES:
(yeah, I got plenty…ha.ha.)
You say: Where’s the quest / They won’t talk to me / etc.
I say: Update your game with the latest patch.
You say: Kendo, all the eyes are all wacky and ugly!
I say: Lose BP or whatever eye mod you’re running.
You say: Kendo, the maid won’t change her clothes, read her book, clean, or do anything.
I say: You can’t stand there and bird-dog her. She’s a maid, not a seal act. Get out of her cell and go do something else. When you get back she will have reset. Remember, she’s a toon, NOT a real person.
And I also say:DON’T take the food, clutter or books out of her wardrobe. She equips them with each package and has to have them. Otherwise she will just stand there like a dork.

At least one of the playtesters ran this mod with heavy-hitters like OOO, MMM, and a butt-load of cosmetics and he had no problems. There was one glitch with Talkie Toaster’s mod, where the companion (hi-jacked from their normal vanilla routine) would not Follow. Not my gig, man. I don’t solve those kinds of problems. From what I hear it will also work with ShiverIsles loaded.


Note: Once I get the skinny on how to make the SI idleobjects appear in-game, I’ll patch this so the maid will cook and sweep as well as scrub floors.

WARNING: This mod worked as it should with a vanilla game and the resource files. Anything beyond that and you’re on your own. Download this AT YOUR OWN RISK. I am done figuring out how fix mod conflicts.
