Okay, I just have to say how much I adore this mod!!! The castle is incredible and beautiful, and if I were to talk about every individual room that might take a few hours lol! I love all the lore and writing put into this mod as well, and I definitely wasn't expecting the Chimer to be there! I loved how you explained them still existing too! It felt a totally real and legit! Azura sparing of few of the Chimer for having good favor with her sounds like something that could definitely happen! The clan is so nice and friendly and I love the work put into each member's lore too! I do have to admit that I don't really like the s*xual stuff.. but that's just because I have autism and I'm basically still a kid, but besides that I seriously love this mod! I hope that last sentence wasn't rude, and I'm sorry if it was! Anyway I just wanted to tell you how great this mod is. It's wonderful and I can tell that you put so much work into this mod. Thank you for making it! :D (Also I know that this was last updated in 2011 but I still wanted to tell you how great this mod is, plus I only found it yesterday xD)
Maybe it's already in the description and I missed it somewhere, but you may wish to acknowledge that this mod conflicts with the Unique Landscapes mod Eastern Peaks (Candelshire and the lake village added by EP are basically right on top of each other). Thankfully there's a compatibility patch on the UL page though.
Well I finally got the house.. But to be honest I am disappointed the outside is great, the view awesome, but the layout of the house itself is claustrophobic, the stair case is too compact and close to the wall, to get a follower up there may not be so easy to do... :/ It is not as open as I would think a mansion would be.. But I must say the npcs and new race are nice, though they speak with no sound..
This is way late, but in case you are still playing Oblivion or there is someone else with the same question here's the answer:
There are no secrets in this mod. There is an underground area that could be considered a secret, but the entrance is not hidden per se. You go to the tombs and take the most distant right passage. Turn left and go down the steps to the candle lit are and look on the floor. You will find a manhole. That is the access to the underground area. You first go through a mine area and then come to an underground lake with plants and a bed. Good for vampire characters or just lounging under the influence of mind altering plants, but I didn't have much use for it. I have been toying with the possibility of adding a transport system and vault down there, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
The normal enemies and boss are incredibly hard. It's especially bad because there's not enough progression content AND because the normal enemies are very powerful and can get stumbled on by a low level player.
If you don't use modded weapons, the Wabbajack, or Mehrunes' Razor the only real solution to beat the final boss is either Alchemy or magic effect abuses that are effectively cheating (magic resistance debuff stacking or 100% chameleon). The boss' health regen is so high that he is not realistically beatable for a melee character, especially when he has 200 speed and runs away constantly.
Alchemy is the most legit solution, by stacking triple damage potions (especially with silence effect) to overcome his regeneration and kill him.
Additionally, his offense is fairly deadly; between Summon Xivilai, a 110 damage shock spell, and an AoE paralyze staff, you need either ridiculously high resist magic, reflect magic, or absorb magic or you will just get chain paralyzed and die.
It would be nice if the mod told people about how hard it was and how to prepare for it, but as it stands you just have to abuse the game in a particular way in order to be prepared.
I absolutely loved the quest and castle. The Clan is perfect as well. Free spirited, unabashed, and as loyal as the day is long. A remarkable job and Endorsed!
I installed the mod and The storyline works perfectly but once I get to the main castle I see a bunch of yellow diamonds with exclamation marks in the middle. I believe these are problems with certain textures or meshes. I have shivering isles but not the horse armor. I don't believe to be the horse armor because the horses look fine. Did I install it incorrectly? All I did was put the esp and the esm in the data folder and activated both of them. seemed too easy to me.
There are also these folders: Textures, sound, meshes and distandLOD. (Note, I don't use the mod myself yet, so I don't know what resources you mean are missing, but the meshes contain stuff like braziers, benches, lamps, fountains etc. )
