About this mod

Adds a player home and Dwemer Submarine in Topal Bay south of Leyawiin

Permissions and credits
         Welcome To Topals Deep!



This is Ruikuli's ORE Water Homes Challenge entry. It adds a 
floating home complex to the game world on Topal Bay south
and east of Leyawiin. There is also a dwemer submarine which
can be used to travel to various places in Cyrodiil. The docking
areas include Anvil, Bravil, IC Waterfront, and River Strid near
Silorn.

A map marker will show up at a boat dock on the small island SE
of Leyawiin. Once you take the boat to the Home Base settlement
and discover the location, you will be able to fast travel there as
well. The submarine docking locations each have a map marker 
that only displays when you are at that specific location. So if you
wander off you can always find the sub location later.

Features include working light switches in interiors, fire places that
can be activated with firewood, grape presses that can be activated
to squeeze juice, fire pits that can be used to grill meat. 

This mod was hosted on the ORE website for a very long time. The 
original author has given me permission to upload it here and perform
whatever maintenance may be required. 

Changes so far: 

1. Relocated the Anvil and IC Waterfront sub references to make the
    mod more compatible with other plugins.

2. Added path grids to the home base area, hut and sub hangar interiors,
    sub interior, and all sub docking locations. It should be companion
    friendly now. 

3. Linked some sub related items to the proper master reference so they
    only show up when the sub is at that location. 

4. Added hatch covers to several sub references so the sub has a uniform
    look at all travel destinations.

5. Added map markers to two sub locations and to the home base. 

6. Adjusted all trees at the home base so they aren't sticking out through
    the sides of the planters.

7. Removed all unnecessary cell edits for compatibility purposes and gave
    the file a good cleaning with TES4Edit.   


From The Original Read-Me
===============================

A traveller from the land of Morrowind came to Cyrodiil in search of never
before seen dwemer technology. Unfortunately it lies in the bottom of the sea.
So he had to build an accommodation as close as possible. The Imperial council
didn't approve of this building for there was no permission given. The inhabitant
had to move away and the house remained.

The lights in the interiors can be turned on or off. The Windows and lighting
change according to the time of day. In the study you can find a journal with
some background to the mod. You can squeeze juice from grapes and fry meat
in the kitchen.
