==================================
DESCRIPTION
==================================
Ivy Cottage is a small, "starter"-type house just outside Surilie Vineyards whimsically tailored to please any plant-lover. Talking to either of the Surilie brothers reveals that they had been renting the cottage out, but it is now available for sale at the low price of 1500 septims. You can buy it from either brother. They will be quite friendly towards you when you become their new neighbor.

House Features:
--Cobl Alchemy Lab & Ingredient Storage
--Full set of novice apparati (found in the Ingredient Storage container)
--Cobl Grinder
--Cobl Dinner Plate & outdoor Water Source
--Two beds
--Waste Basket, empties itself daily (do not use for storage!)
--"Green Glass" Ayleid Clutter (added by Cobl)
--Cobl Luggage
--Safe storage: 3 barrels, 2 chests, 1 dresser, 1 armoire
--AWLS-friendly house mesh
--See-through window & All Natural support
--Outdoor lights on only at night

Advanced characters may still enjoy having a dedicated getaway to practice their alchemical experiments. However, as the house is intended for a new-ish character, it is not over-laden with many of the common conveniences of larger mod houses, such as oodles of storage, fully spread dining rooms, or mage altars. This is intentional, as it helps offset the low price and the specific features that were included. If the features or arrangements are not quite to your taste, you are welcome to edit the mod yourself, make use of the "disable" and "setpos" console commands in-game, or build your own house. ;-)

If Davide & Gaston Surilie both die before you purchase the house, it is considered free for you to take. The key is hidden near the front door.

Sometimes, a Surilie brother will mosey up to your front porch for a sit on the bench. If this irks you, just disable the bench in the console. I myself rather enjoy it.

All meshes have been pyffi'd for best performance, all resources have unique file paths, and all plugins have been cleaned with TES4Edit for best compatibility.

New this version:
--UV scaled the floor textures so they would appear sharper/higher-resolution.


==================================
REQUIREMENTS
==================================
Requires the latest official Oblivion patch (1.2.0.416).
Requires Cobl.
Elys' Universal Silent Voice is recommended, unless you don't care to read any dialog.


==================================
INSTALLATION
==================================
You may install this mod via BAIN or NMM, or create an omod directly from the archive if you wish.

Manual Installation:
1) Use 7zip to extract the archive you downloaded to a temporary location.
2) Copy "Ivy Cottage.esp" and "Ivy Cottage.bsa" to your ..Oblivion\Data folder. Click "Yes" to overwrite, if prompted.
3) If you have All Natural, copy "Ivy Cottage - AN Patch.esp" to your ..Oblivion\Data folder. Click "Yes" to overwrite, if prompted.
4) Activate the plugin(s) in the launcher of your choice.

If you used an automated installer (such as NMM) to install this mod for you, make sure you REMOVE the All Natural patch from your Data folder if you don't have All Natural. BAIN users can use the esp/m filter to avoid installing it in the first place.

Load order goes like this:
Ivy Cottage.esp
Ivy Cottage - AN Patch.esp
