About this mod

A modest yet unique player home.

Permissions and credits
House is situated on the northern shore of Lake Rumare. Tested with UL-II and NRB4: no conflicts. Minor conflict with Region Revive - Lake Rumare, patch available to fix this. Patch is included in main download files. Only download the separate patch file if you have already downloaded Erewhon.

I designed this primarily for myself and as such is rather idiosyncratic. I wanted something that looked vanilla yet was unique and spacious without being grand. Lots of named storage was important as was avoiding loading doors if at all possible. Clutter is minimal. I plan to make the training dummy functional. Until then I recommend Setsuna Dummy Training - www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/27259/?

Khettienna's mod Horse Management (no link) is an excellent improvement for the Stable and works fine with Kuertee's Horse Commands - www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/8766/?

A non-Coblised version is also available.

Description
===========

A modest yet spacious player home situated on the northern shore of Lake Rumare. No quest or purchase required, merely a marker added to your map. While unique it is very much an Oblivion home.

Cobl Features
=============

- Well at rear of house
- The Luggage
- Cobl Sorter cunningly disguised as a pair of scales
- Static Alchemy Equipment. Rather than a table, a crystal ball is used to return apparatus to your inventory. This makes it easier to select the equipment I feel. NOTE: You have to have apparatus in your inventory on first use. A starter novice set is in the 'Apparatus' cupboard.
- Dinner Plate. I don't use hunger mods myself so may have approached this oddly. Add your dinner ingredients to the cooking pot in the kitchen fireplace (it's a container). Wait for however long your role-playing instincts tell you for it to 'cook' :) Activate the dinnerplate.

Other Features
==============

- All one cell apart from a not-so-secret secret area (hint: look for something out of place)
- Lots of safe, named storage
- Sitting, Dining, Alchemy, Kitchen, Armoury with Loth racks and a dummy, Study, Bedroom and Storage Loft with companion bed
- Companion-friendly-ish (only tested with Companion Vilja - she needs escorted to bed)
- Flower garden with seat and fenced vegetable garden
- Stabling (storage NOT safe, included to provide Cats & Rats spawns and some colour)


Install
=======
1. Extract wb_Erewhon_Cobl.esp and bsa to OblivionData
2. If, and only if, using Region Revive-Lake Rumare 1.3, extract wb_Erewhon_RR-LR_Patch.esp to OblivionData
3. Load Order:
Region Revive - Lake Rumare.esp (if used)
wb_Erewhon_Cobl.esp
wb_Erewhon_RR-LR_Patch.esp (if used)
I strongly recommend the use of BOSS to ensure correct load order.
4. Start Oblivion Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a checkmark beside the .esp file(s).

Uninstall
=========
1. Start Oblivion Launcher, click Data Files, uncheck the .esp file(s).
2. Delete the esp and bsa files

Incompatibility
===============

Although I am unaware of any incompatibilities, I would be very surprised if there were none.

Known Issues or Bugs
====================

- If using Region Revive-Lake Rumare 1.3 there is minor land tearing etc.
Use the included patch to resolve this.
-AWLS only works on 2 of the 3 chimneys, I'm not likely to fix this.
