A shame this mod is abandoned. Creepy, victorian-like swampy villages are really lacking in the game, as well as decent swamp houses. This mod just feels half-finished without any npcs to populate it. Would really love to have seen this mod completed.
Downloaded the house alone to make sure my game could handle it, definitely coming back for ash and pom pom to liven it up. Really love this! btw i caught that aquabats joke in the journal ;^)
I love this mod, I always use it, I would love to see more work done on it, maybe a revision of it, moved maybe with it being so close to solitude it tends to be buggy and I get ctd's when I try to go to solitude for the first time, takes a bit of patience and some work but I finally get to solitude after that the bugs and the ctd's lesson but remain, no complaints though, I seldome go to solitude except when I am running the legion questline, but it would be great if the grotto was expanded to add a fortified wall, nothing special just something to keep out raiders and bndits and creepy crawlies, maybe add another house for staff, add a bartender, maybe a maid and a couple guards that would be awesome, but that is only wishful thinking
Well thought out layout with few loading doors. A nice looking living space, with an appropriately Solitude-ish feel. It seemed to cry out to have NPCs hanging out and interacting with the world. One minor quibble is that sleeping there only gives you a "rested", not "well rested" bonus. Endorsed. Looking forward to using this on a future playthrough when I'm using Amazing Follower Tweaks so I can populate the place with cool NPCs.
From a role player stand point I think it is fitting that you only get the rested perk instead of the well rested, if you read the journal in the study it details that the grotto is only on loan while the owner is out and about so in simple terms you actually do not own the home you are just borrowing it, it makes perfect sense to me
great job for the house but i've a problem.. i don't see ash in the leisure hut :/ she is not here or she is invisible i don't know. somebody has an idea to solve my problem ? thanks a lot
Can anyone tell me who's gone deep into vault 13 and acquired the weapons from there tell me if I'm going to actually run into some madness, or is it done from there? I was pretty creeped out and I was expecting some spooky things going on but so far nothing.
I cheated my way down there. It's a cool callback to one of my favorite characters in the game. So, yeah, a taste of madness. Didn't exploit the artifacts there, but cool, very cool.
It is! Kind of. While that may be at a glacial pace, I've still been doing the odd bit of work on it. I hope to have an update out before the end of the year with a finished archery room and vault, better navmesh, npc bartender/fence and an acquisition quest for the property. Fingers crossed, that's a tall order for the small amount of time I have to work on mods these days.
A Bartender would be cool, fixing Ash so she walks around the property since she has had that "lost" bug for awhile, maybe a storage chest outside by the smithy so as to have access to smithing mat's.
I was planning to post a request for more mods since I loved the grotto I would be anxious to see more of your work, but as you said you have little time and I noticed you also mod for FO3 NV, well if ever you find more time to do more mods just know I am a huge fan of your work and I am always checking the authors of mods in hope to see more of your work, the grotto was the first mod I downloaded for skyrim and I always get it everytime I do a hardrive wipe, great concept, great theme
