About this mod

Adds a small house north of Dragonsreach, that functions as a decent player home.

Changelogs
This mod is a work in progress. This is the first release, and I am releasing it to gather feedback and ideas. This house features a simple first floor, containing a fireplace, a kitchen, and some simple decor. The second floor, features a living area, with a fireplace some tables chairs and various decor, and the bedroom. It also includes an alchemy workbench, and an enchanting workbench. It is located north of Whiterun, and just past the "Halted Stream Camp". When you have the mod installed, if you haven't discovered the location, it will show up on your map, instead of having to hunt it down. Upon arrival at the gate it will be locked and require a key. Right beside the gate there is a hollowed out rock, inside of which is a gate key, and a handful of gold. Once inside, you can approach the house, and see that it is also locked, the key is on top of a barrel next to the door. Also outside there are two, USEFUL horses. They're ticked as essential, and they have large amounts of stamina, so they are more practical than the vanilla horses. There is also a ton of smithing benches outside (forge, smelter, etc.). I hope you enjoy this home, as it is not very advanced, but it is my first house mod for Skyrim, and I'm working to get better at it. Please leave comments on whether or not I should continue to update this mod, and if so, what would you like to see? Leave it in the comments and enjoy!

***Known Bugs***
1. The chair upstairs at the front of the table, currently has the wrong animation. **FIXED**
2. The BIGGEST issue, the horses, are always located in weird spots. There are some images of this in the uploaded images from users tab.

If you notice any other bugs, please let me know, and I will do what I can to work them out!

***(Hopefully) Things to Come***
1. A custom dog companion named Rebel. Currently working on the scripting for him, however, he isn't functioning right at the moment, so he isn't in-mod yet.
2. A small quest system. This is a huge toss up as I'm A: Not good with papyrus, and B: Not sure I want a quest as a part of it, let me know what you all think!
3. Hearthfire compatibility. I would like to make this home compatible with Hearthfire so that player can move their families into this home. **UPDATE ON THIS! PLEASE READ THIS** I have been working hard on making this mod Hearthfire compatible, and I AM making progress, but very very little. So, this being said, I'm still working on it, but it's gonna take longer than expected to get an update out, res assured though, there WILL be an update soon!
4. Potentially an expansive basement. Would you guys enjoy that? Please let me know about what you think in the comments, I would really like some community driven ideas in this home, as I'm not entirely sure where to go with it.

-Any Ideas?-
I would like this home mod to be community driven. I would really like the opinions of other modders and players, so please PLEASE, post your idea in the comments, and I'll see what I can do. I would really appreciate it!

***Installation***

1. Open the .rar archive, you downloaded from the Nexus.
2. Drag the "StarterHome.esp" and the meshes and textures folders into "C:Program Files (x86)SteamSteamAppscommonSkyrimData" (Or wherever your Skyrim directory is, as long as its in the DATA folder!)
3. Make sure it's all done correctly, launch the game, and enjoy!
