Shawkab is taking a vacation from commenting on the Nexus for the next week or so, and will not be able to answer the comment threads here. As such I'm going to be locking the comments on these files so new comments and questions can't be posted (and so you don't think that Shawkab is ignoring you).
Shawkab should be coming back, so try to avoid going hysterical at a lack of communication for a week.
I know this is going to sound a little ridiculous, getting freaked out by something like, well, what I just got freaked out by ... but well ... heh.
First off, Shawk, I love your work. I use the retreat as part of my game and keep tabs on the hideout, downloading and checking out what you've changed but not actually using it in the game. Now I just bought honeyside and was checking out some of the mods for it online, found yours, downloaded and installed it. Then I restarted the game and loaded a save where I was standing in front of the enchanting table in the basement.
I immediately turned around and ran to check out the smithing room ... and saw a man standing at the foot of the stairs. I use a realistic lighting mod, and it was kind of dark, so all I saw was a silhouette. I thought it was Shawk, from the hideout. Then the man turned around, put his fists on his hips and, well ... it would have been staring right at me ... but there were no eyes. It was the bloody mannequin!
I don't know why, I mean I know it's a video game, but the sight of it made my blood run cold. It was just so WRONG!
Anyway, I loaded a save from before I entered the house and everything was fine but OMG that was creepy ... so of course I had to share it.
I have been using it for just over a week now, and I must say this simple room added exactly what I wanted to my favorite Bethesda player home in Skyrim.
I know its old and simple, but I still rock this mod till this day, love how it's not a separate door (loading screen) but an add-on of the original house...still think it's a brilliant little thing, although the table next to the mannequin in the smaller part of the divided room vanished when I downloaded the Hideout, just a book on the floor was left, eheh!This thing was out way before CK...Props!
I'm currently working on Honeyside "Mansion" Home Mod that would update this mod as I know Shawk has abandoned this mod to work on Dovahkiin hideout. (even though I think Honeyside with the balcony overlooking the lake outside is easily my favourite home in the game).
The Honeyside Mansion Mod I'm working on (is 80% complete) it has new and improved wood textures to make it more cozy, fountains, biggest library for books seen in any mod on nexus, secret rooms, more storage for weapons, armor etc, more mannequins, forge/smithing room, greenhouse with plants, indoor pond, doors that go to other homes owned and even separate doors downstairs that lead to dark brotherhood and thieves guild + so much more. I might even wait to finish it till the Creation Kit comes out so I can really make it the best house you have seen in Skyrim and also change the outside house texture/mesh to match the HUGE size of the inside also adding more outside balcony's ;p
ROFL @ mannequin breathing/moving!! i dont think ive had thie issue although with dog barking, house carl gabbin bout her Thane, wife welcoming smoochez, and companions misc chatter...hearing breathing would be like a whisper at a Keg party. but i would prolly notice a moving mannequin: O this mod makes all the xboxerz so jealous! Endorsed Fully!!
Hey, so I have Hillside, but I don't want to connect it to the Riften home with Honeyside. Can I still get this and it will be attached to Hillside or will it only be in Riften? Thanks.

Endorsed, THANK YOU!
All things in moderation, if I do say so myself. Can't make it too immersion breaking as that would distract from the art.
