Description
===========
Fully-featured player housing in the Hackdirt area.

Additional Requirements
============
Weather - All Natural (http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/18305)
Cobl (http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/21104)
(Optional)Bathing Mod (http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/13275/?)
(Optional) Unique Landscapes (http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/19370/?)

Location
========
Located on the western side of Hackdirt.

Details
=======
Once, a simple inn located in a heretical village. Later, the cursed abode of an exiled imperial Battlemage. Now, vacant and awaiting its new owner. The Shunned Shack sits atop the edge of Hackdirt and invites exploration. Quite a bit larger than its inherited name might suggest, The Shunned Shack is a rambling, dilapidated inn-style home. Get past the grunge, however, and you'll find that it's actually a fairly well appointed residence fit for a darker-themed character such as a thief, assassin, or other such rogue (provided that they can tolerate the locals*).

Included within:

A stocked custom alchemy lab
A multi-purpose custom enchanting station
A functioning repair anvil
Loads of safe storage
A short story (albeit quest-less) that attempts to place it within the context of Cyrodiilic lore and the inherently Lovecraftian undertones of its location

New in version 2.2:

The Shunned Shack is over 100% larger than before! More clutter for all!
Fully "switchable" independent lighting throughout!
New activators, like a functioning scorpion vivarium!
A new teleport spell!
Room for at least 1 follower!
More Crap to find!
More crap to read!
(Optional) Support for Bathing Mod! Wash that blood off in a sketchy rain barrel!

Inspired by a desire to have a character who lived in Hackdirt, and also by all-time great mods like Immersive Interiors, Animated Window Lighting System, Cobl, All Natural, Drahenne's Hackdirt Alive and finally, by the houses of Khettienna, The Shunned Shack features a delightfully grim and dark atmosphere, a viewable and extremely detailed"exterior" outside the interior windows, animated windows on the exterior mesh, interior weather sounds and day/night lighting, all basic COBL functionality (luggage, dinner plate, food larder, water source, so on) plus a few special scripted activators which perform unique functions!

Many of the resources used in The Shunned Shack have been re-textured and re-uv'd to better fit within their new environment as well as for originality's sake, and all of the resources use unique paths. Meshes have been PyFFI'd where applicable and the plugin has been cleaned with TES4Edit. Additionally, the plugin has been tagged with C.Climate for Wrye Bash users.

Also, the Shunned Shack includes many VWD meshes. To view these meshes in game, you must use TES4LODGen ( http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/15781 ). Please refer to that utility's instructions for further details.

Caveat user.

* I recommend NOT doing the quest A Shadow Over Hackdirt (given by Seed-Neeus in Chorrol) if you plan on living here, unless you don't mind killing all the residents of Hackdirt, as most become permanently hostile afterward.

Install
=======
1. Extract the files to a temporary location.
2. Examine the folder structure and make corrections where necessary.
3. Copy files to (install folder)\Oblivion\Data\
4. Start Oblivion Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a checkmark beside the .esp file.

Regarding load order, it should go similar to as follows:

Oblivion.esm
All Natural Base.esm
Cobl Main.esm
(Optional) BathingMod_Base.esm
xxx
xxx
xxx
TheShunnedShack.esp
xxx
xxx
xxx
(Optional) xulRiverEthe.esp
(Optional) TheShunnedShack - UL.esp
xxx
xxx
xxx
Bashed Patch, 0.esp

Uninstall
=========
1. Start Oblivion Launcher, click Data Files, uncheck the .esp file(s).
2. Delete the files/folders associated with the mod.

TheShunnedShack.esp
TheShunnedShack.bsa

Updating
=======
If you count yourself among the tiny number of users who installed version 1x, first off, YOU ROCK! Seriously, give yourself a hand.

Afterwards, you will want to make sure that you remove absolutely everything of any importance that you wish to keep from all containers and then promptly remove yourself and any followers to any other interior cell that ISN'T a part of this mod and save there. I imagine Moslin's would work suitably and it's located nearby.

Remove version 1x and make a clean save, then install version 2.

Updating from 2.0 to 2.xx shouldn't need a clean save or anything, but you (and any followers) should go to any other interior cell not a part of this mod to save in before updating just to be safe, I guess.

For her wonderful retex of the corset (sweet rapture corset). A REAL artist. You should really pay much more attention to her mods people.
There are other type of stuff than skimpy manga style in this world ... just kidding... almost.

My apologizes to you Lady for not finding the will to make other matching parts. I'm really a poohole
