*Note*
Followers will get stuck sometimes and have to be lured to follow you again, just go back to them and eventually they will either follow you or bounce/teleport onto the next Navmesh tiles. This is the best I can do without totally redoing the entire underwater lay-out, I made the mod and tested it the entire time without followers because I don't use them, but for everyone that enjoys them I took the time to painstakingly Navmesh the place for you, so please understand that its not a nice even flow, and not because my Navmesh job is bad, but because I made some very tight spots and areas you have to jump up a little because I wasn't using followers and it didn't seem to matter. So you will have to provoke them into the area you want sometimes because they will not ever JUMP up, and I made a few areas where you have to jump a 1/2 a foot to get over a rock etc... and followers just will not do it, so you have to push them or run ahead of them a little ways and come back towards them, after a few times of this they usually bounce to your location or realize they can walk around the rock. I didn't make the followers AI so I cant help they are dense. =) Enjoy!

Also, I plan to add a "Back Door" entrance/exit so you can avoid the water area all together if you like, also to help prevent too many headaches from trying to make the followers , follow. =)

A cavern abode made for my Argonian but usable by any race in Skyrim.

This is my first mod! So it is probably not the most effecient or practical, but its fun and creative. I tried to make a place that felt like somewhere an Argonian would live. Hope you like to get wet!!!

Nagas Cavern is located behind a waterfall north of Rorikstead, west from Talking Stone Camp. A cave system, with plenty of water, waterfalls, plants and critters plus an ambient atmosphere, the entrance leads to an underwater ruins with exotic gardens and creatures which then opens up into a unique player home. Geared for Argonians, but usuable by anyone, it provides all the necessities. As well as plenty of storage containers and trophy display, along with lots of other surprises.


Contains:
-Fast travel marker to entrance
-A bed
-A cooking pot
-A blacksmith forge
-An anvil
-A smelter
-A grindstone
-A workbench
-A tanning rack
-A wood chopping block
-Two alchemy stations
-Two enchanting stations
-A lot of containers for storage ( all no-respawn )
-3 (5 slot) weapon racks
-4 shield/dual weapon plaques
-9 "miniature" mannequins
-2 bookshelves (77 books storage total)
-removable torch sconces for prefered lighting


Also, provides a bathing area under two small waterfalls with benches and wash basin, a dining/kitchen area, a swamp cooler with clam and barnacle aquariums, a salmon fishery and hatchery and two minnow bowls complete with ornaments, a Hist tree that provides Hist Sap and Resin (both edible) and a regenerating Hist tree (plan to make this so player can pray at the tree and get a skill bonus), a poison and disease shrine, a mysterious ball lighting room (Hist Sap hallucinations, plan to make this a portal room as well) and knickknack shelves with miniatures ( still adding to this), among many other sights for the eyes. Don't forgot to look up, a lot, there are multiple skylight holes and the cavern also has day/night effects.

Again I'm new to modding and just learned why "snap to grid" wasn't lining things up properly because I didn't set my first tile to (0,0) anyways, now the water tiles have been layed out using snap to grid and angle and no longer have gaps that were causing bluriness and air pockets while underwater, It looks 90% better while underwater now!

*Future Plans*
-Make it so player can kneel and pray at the regenerating hist tree, which will provide a histskin or some sort of bonus

-Add more miniatures to the knickknack shelf
-The ball lightning room is an unexplained atmospheric electrical phenomenon, or is it magic, or is it a hallucination from eating too much Hist Sap?!?, anyways I plan to make this room into a teleporter/portals to all major cities and holds, not sure how I want to do this yet
