It's a mod series to enhance the Lakeview Manor interior to something more deserved by the Dragonborn. The idea is make a beautiful house with more space and features without the clutter of the original.
The Entrance Hall (Small House)
I hate so much the vanilla small house or entrance hall. Everything is so messed up and ugly and useless.
I changed so many things here and now everything is so beautiful and organized and even useful. It's cozy and charming.
It's all navmeshed, the weapon plaques and the display case are functional, there's a cabinet for tools or survival stuffs for a quickly leave. It's all great. At least for me.
Please, see the pics.
Hope you all enjoy.
Bravo for me. I finished the third mod and it's published.
Please, take a look on the other 2 mods of this series.

Installation
*Always make back-up saves before trying new mods.*
Make sure you are outside the Lakeview manor before installing.
Download the mod and install on NMM or download the zip manually, extract and copy the files to your Skyrim's data folder.
You need to buy the Lakeview Manor and build the Small House and Main Hall with cellar, just to be sure that nothing goes wrong. You can also upgrade the Small House to Entryway. Then remove the workbench of the room.
I tested the installation and activation of the mod before and after building anything. I noticed twice (because I tested several times) that the weapons I had put on the plaques were gone and the plaques were no longer working. I really don't know why, if it's mod conflict or anything else, so I need feedback. So, just for sure, do not place any important weapon in the plaques for now.
I didn't tested with the room fully furnished, but you can give it a try and send me the results.
Compatibility
This mod should be compatible with any mods that don't change the small house of the Lakeview Manor. Also, if you use any other Lakeview interior mods, put my mod after the others on the load order or you won't use my navmesh alterations.
If you're using more ELM mods, download the merged navmesh file through the link bellow. Just install and put after the ELM main files in the load order. If you find any problems or bugs let me know.
Uninstall
Before uninstall, remove any items from the room that you want to keep, leave the manor and make a hard save. Then you can uninstall the mod in NMM or delete the files from your data folder. Load your save and save again. Done.
Future Plans
My future plans aren't very clear anymore. As I said before, my installed mods are changed and I have to rethink some things.
I just can say that my next step will be the refurnishing of the rest of Main Hall. I'll change some structure, like the second floor walls and the fireplace.
If you take a good look in the fireplace, the shape of the chimney on the second floor is perpendicular to the first floor. It's really odd. I'll fix that and then I'll have to change the walls in second floor too. Lots of work, including mesh editing.
If you have any ideas about the main hall or about other rooms, please, let me know. I'll analize every idea.
