Details

Version 1.0:

This is my entry into Oblivion Real Estate's Country Homes Challenge. It is a coastal farm and Baliwog ranch in the Shivering isles located on the West coast in Mania.
Accessed by a wooden bridge, the structure is raised on stilts above the beach with a large covered deck facing the sea. The house is built in the exterior cell only, like the encampments found throughout the Shivering Isles. Bamboo panels enclose the 'interior', with open windows giving views of the landscape and sea from the upper story. The lower story of the house is comprised of kitchen and sitting area. Upstairs, the loft has two comfortable sleeping mats. Movable bamboo screens can be arranged as desired to create different spaces within. Safe storage can be found in chests and bags littered about the house, as well as crates and barrels in the attic. Thirteen safe containers in total.
To one side of the bridge is the hatchery, sheltered by stone walls. Opposite the hatchery is the Baliwog pen, where three young Baliwogs are enclosed in their shallow pool by stone and stout wooden fences. At the bridge's end are the tool shed, butchery, and smokehouse. The smoker yields a respawning supply of smoked Baliwog legs and meat. Above the beach, a path leads to two terraced fields of fruit, vegetables, and tobacco. The upper field ends in a small garden with a pond overarched by a symbolic bridge.

New in 2.0:
-Raise your own Baliwogs from eggs! Watch as they grow. Then butcher them for meat! >D
-working smoker makes Smoked Baliwog Legs & Meat, Smoked Crab Meat, and Smoked Hunger Tongues.
-Interactive cooking: Make foods from ingredients collected in the Isles.
-Meditate in the garden to gain a magickal bonus.

Note: A 'clean save' may be necessary for everything to work as intended when upgrading from version 1. Load the game, gather all your things from the house, and make a new save. Quit the game and untick Sunburn.esp. Load the new save and save once again. Uninstall version 1, ideally with a Mod Manager. Install version 2 and load your clean save.

Install
=======
1. Extract Sunburn.esp and Sunburn.bsa into your /Oblivion/Data/ folder.
2. Activate Sunburn.esp in your Oblivion launcher and play.

Uninstall
=========
1. Start Oblivion Launcher, click Data Files, uncheck the .esp file(s).
2. Delete all files associated with the mod. Or use a Mod Manager like a civilized person.

Incompatibility
===============
Will conflict with any mod editing cells around -12,11 in the SEworld worldspace.

Known Issues or Bugs
====================
-Despite my best efforts, rain may sometimes briefly be seen falling inside the house. Version 2: changed the method of weather control, should work better but very rarely the weather may change instantly when approaching the house. In testing I only saw this happen twice.
-I could not discover the way to keep exterior cells from reseting. Although in testing, objects placed from the player's inventory do survive, and all containers except the smokers are safe (version 2: Smokers *should* now be safe as well since they convert ingredients with a script, though why you'd keep stuff in the smoker is beyond me). The screens should stay in place if you pick up and drop them first. Lets just say a mischievous ghost sometimes rearranges things.
