This is a mod I made for fun. I've spent since August working just on this particular mod alone, and have probably spent about 100 hours easily just working on this mod and I've aimed to make it awesome! It's tailored to fit my personal needs, and also to be a bit of a similar mindset mod to my Fallout 3 mod from a few years ago. I hope you enjoy!

DESCRIPTION

Solace Antrum, or 'Solace Cave,' is a player owned home for Skyrim. The mod adds a underground home location West of Dragon Bridge on the second waterfall bed.

OVERALL:
  • 100% Navmeshed
  • Consistent Aesthetics
  • Lore Friendly
  • Companion Bedroom
  • Linked Chests
  • Follower sandbox markers


The INTERIOR of the antrum is decorated to be very aesthetically pleasing. Rooms are complemented by water fall features, a mix of cave/stone/and wooden interior styles with a hint of Dwemer, moody lighting, and a lived in feel. The interior of the Antrum is intended to be rather small, but includes all of the following:
- Master bedroom
  • > Several places to store clothes and equipment
  • > Decorated Bookcases

- Companion bedroom
  • > In a separate basement area.
  • > Several places to store companion supplies and equipment

- Forge/Smithing Room
  • > Continued off of the basement area
  • > Several storage containers to separate ore, ingots, and misc
  • > Includes a furnace and an anvil (grindstone and workbench outside)

- Bathroom
  • > Custom furniture
  • > Wash fountain
  • > Storage for misc

- Storage Room
  • > A tanning rack
  • > Numerous storage

- Main Room w/ Kitchen and Dinning room
  • > Dining table for 4
  • > Alchemist area w/ alchemy table and TONS of storage
  • > Kitchen area w/ cooking hotspot
  • > Enchanting nook w/ storage
  • > Decorated Bookcases
  • > Fireplace with cooking pot

- Other Stuff!
  • > Global linked chests through Mysterious Solace Storage chests
  • > Sandbox idle markers
  • > (not so) Secret Room just for fun!


The EXTERIOR is aimed at creating an immersive and breath taking sight for the player to enjoy upon entering and leaving the home (sounds about right? Selling description). The exterior of the Antrum is completely decorated and fits in amazingly with the following:
  • Patio based entrance into rock side
  • Completely decorated wooden bridge over the waterfall to the home
  • Dwemer pipes venting smoke along mountain side
  • Grindstone and Workbench can be found here
  • Storage along the bridge including a linked chest that stores inside
  • Lanterns to light up the dark
  • Custom landscaped path with modified height maps and terrain


INSTALLATION

Solace Antrum can be installed in a variety of ways. It's really your choice. This mod includes everything it needs, so there is no need to find and download other mods to support this mod at the moment. This package includes the .esp and a script folder. BE SURE TO MOVE BOTH!

Nexus Mod Manager Install (Recommended):
1. Download the mod from the Nexus through the direct to manager route.
2. Open the Manager which should show the progress of your download.
3. When download is complete, enable Solace Antrum from your mods list.

If you download the .rar manually, you can add it to the Nexus mod manager by opening the manager and clicking "Add mod from file" on the mod tab and from there selecting this mod's .rar that has been downloaded.

Steam Workshop Installation (Recommended):
The link to Solace Antrum on Steam can be found here: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/10973/?
1. Find Solace Antrum on Steam and download it. (Chances are you're not going to see this if you DL this mod off Steam).
2. The mod should automatically be downloaded and automatically updated as releases are made through Steam.
3. Tick to enable the mod from the launcher.

Manual Install:
1. Download the .rar package containing this mod.
2. Extract files from .rar temporarily to a folder on desktop.
3. Open the folder and move the data folder into your Skyrim installation directory.
  • This directory can normally be found at by Steam installation at C:Program Files (x86)SteamSteamAppscommonSkyrim or at a custom installation directory

4. Merge the data folders together.
5. Open the Skyrim Launcher and tick the box next to the SolaceAntrumCaveHouse.esp to enable it.
6. Play Skyrim

LOCATION


The Solace Antrum can be found up the north side of the riverbank to the west of Dragon Bridge. It can be spotted by a rock cairn and a noticeable path. Some way down there are lanterns, so it shouldn't be hard to spot upon passing it. It just stems off the original dirt path to the west of Dragon Bridge and actually crosses the river's waterfall.

RECOMMENDED MODS

For this mod, I would recommend the a few mods to use along side with it. I've used some of these mods for a long time, and I suggest you download them because they make a lot of things in the world of Skyrim look fantastic! You can find them below with the links provided. They are all compatible with eachother, though some texture overhauls my overlap, so you'll have to pick and choose.
