If this is your first time downloading the Whispering Tree Cottage, make sure you get the newest version!

Version 1.3 fixes some major issues including navmesh deletion and dirty edits.
If you previously experienced crashes with this mod, this version should fix them!
The Version without Porch furniture also gets rid of the campfire sound as well as a "Warm hands" marker.

A big thanks goes to Angryglock who brought these Issues to my attention and helped me resolve them.
Also thank you for your incredible patience with me!




WHISPERING TREE COTTAGE

This mod adds a small player home to the area next to the south gate of Riverwood.
Acquire it by looking for its former owner, a nord called Bjarlund.
He carries the key and is easy to find if you follow his path.

Whispering Tree Cottage is made to blend in with its surroundings so you can easily ignore it
when playing a character that is not interested in owning it. It does have some distinctive features though,
such as the purple tree its named after. This tree was planted by a pilgrim when it was a small sapling
and since then has grown quite a bit.

Since the Riverwood Blacksmith is close and an alchemy lab can be found in the Sleeping Giant Inn
this house doesn't feature any crafting stations besides a wood chopping block and a tanning rack.
It's quite small but there's a big bed for your character and a smaller one for a follower (or a child)
as well as a place to sit and eat and a cooking spit. A bookshelf and various storage options complete its interior.
There's also two chickens and a goat living outside.

This mod will likely conflict with any other house mod in or around Riverwood. It will certainly
conflict with any mods that change the area around the southern gate of Riverwood, namely
the cells Riverwood04, Riverwood05 and Riverwood06. If you enocunter any other mod conflicts
try to change the load order (either placing my mod at the top or bottom of it). Please also notify me.

I hope you like my first house mod...
Any feedback is much apprechiated!



UPDATES

1.0 Release Version (Taken Down)
1.1
Fixed misplaced rock in Water Trough
1.2
Added Emittance and brightened up Interior Lighting

Upcoming 1.4: Add Smoke, make campfire sound more subtle, fix Navmesh (again -.-)

FUTURE PLANS

I plan on adding a version where you can buy the house key from Lucan Valerius, however this proves to be a bit more
complicated than I first thought and it probably will take me a while to figure it out. Apart from that this mod is finished so
I won't add to it. However I will fix any bugs that might come up and will also work on smaller improvements if needed.


KNOWN ISSUES

  • The kids and the dog of Riverwood often idle on the Porch.
    This will not be fixed as I don't want to mess with their AI packages.

REQUIRED

No DLCs / Other Mods required!
