==================================
DESCRIPTION
==================================
Are you an adventurer who is tired of pompous mansions, but wants better than some tan plates and a stained mattress? Have you, Hero, learned that there is more to your journey than filling three square miles of display cases with phat lewts? Are you a newcomer to the scene who just wants a spread table, a warm fire, a cold beer, and a dozen containers to stash yer stuff?

Welcome home!

This mod adds a cozy & companion-friendly farmhouse to the Gold Coast, just east of the Brina Cross Inn. It features a fully-set table, soft lighting, & a dog. The house is free. The mapmarker will be added automatically, and the key & deed are in a hollow rock by the front door.

Included in the download are two versions. Use only one at a time.

Classy:
Generally designed for a character of refined taste. Includes a romantic bedroom area, alchemy station, a reading area, and a large dining area.

Rugged:
All instances of frou-frou have been replaced with tough stuff: training mat, training dummy, archery target, & weapon rack. Alchemy station replaced with a once-per-day free repair station. Wine replaced with Ale. Specially designed for those less inclined to read, and more inclined to hit things.

Notes:
--The "Recycle" barrel empties itself daily. It will warn you as such the first time you open it. Do not use it for storage.
--All other containers inside the house are safe for storage.
--The nirnroot plant in the window is for decoration only - you cannot harvest it.
--Path grids were edited to ensure the space is companion/NPC-friendly.

All plugins have been cleaned with TES4Edit for best compatibility.

New this version:
--Fixed some clipping barrels in the storage area,.
--Added weather boxes to the All Natural patch.


==================================
REQUIREMENTS
==================================
Requires the latest official Oblivion patch (1.2.0.416).


==================================
INSTALLATION
==================================
This package contains alternate/optional files, and is structured as a BAIN-friendly archive to be installed manually or with Wrye Bash. Other mod managers such as NMM cannot install this package correctly; however, you may re-structure the package yourself for use with your manager if you do not wish to install the mod manually. The "Download With Manager" button at Nexus has been disabled to prevent installation errors.

Manual Installation:
1) Use 7zip to extract the archive you downloaded to a temporary location.
2) If you want the Classy Version, copy the contents of the "Classy Version" folder to your ..Oblivion\Data folder. If you want the Rugged Version, copy the contents of the "Rugged Version" folder to your ..Oblivion\Data folder. Either way, click "Yes" to overwrite, if prompted.
3) If you have All Natural, copy the contents of the "All Natural Support" folder to your ..Oblivion\Data folder. Click "Yes" to overwrite, if prompted.
4) If you have Kvatch Rebuilt, copy the contents of the "Kvatch Rebuilt Patch" folder to your ..Oblivion\Data folder. Click "Yes" to overwrite, if prompted.
5) If you have Oblivifall - Losing My Religion, copy the contents of the "Losing My Religion Patch" folder to your ..Oblivion\Data folder. Click "Yes" to overwrite, if prompted.
6) Activate the plugin(s) in the launcher of your choice.

Note for Updaters:
The main plugins have been renamed. Please move your stuff and your character out of the house and fully uninstall the old version before updating. Bash users can switch the masters in their save to avoid this, but still make sure you delete the old plugins.

Load order goes like this:
--Kvatch Rebuilt & Losing My Religion plugins--
Gold Road Cottage.esp
--All Gold Road Cottage patches--

==================================
COMPATIBILITY, BUGS & TROUBLESHOOTING
==================================
There are no known bugs.

Landscape patches are included for Kvatch Rebuilt and Oblivifall - Losing My Religion. If you are using both of those mods, you should probably not use this cottage as it will just be too crowded in the area, so I have not made a patch to try to accomodate all three.

There are also a few renditions of this cottage at this location floating around - this will conflict with those. The two versions in this pack will also conflict with each other - please use just one at a time.

Mod Troubleshooting Guide: http://sites.google.com/site/khettienna/mod-user-guides/mod-use-troubleshooting
I wrote this guide to help you troubleshoot mod problems, because I prefer to spend my time other ways. Please respect that, and use the guide before asking for help. If the solution isn't in the guide, I'm happy to lend a hand. The fastest way to get help is to leave a comment on this mod's download page at TESNexus (linked at the top), or message me (Khettienna) privately at TESAlliance, Nexus, or the official Bethsoft Forums.
