About this mod
The Shady Cabin is situated in the Rift, just a little east from Riften. Includes character FaceGenData so that the NPC added doesn't look weird. As this is my first piece of custom content, I don't know if it could be properly installed using the Nexus Mod Manager, so a manual install would be in check.

This is the Shady Cabin, my first piece of custom content for Skyrim. It includes a simple shack with a trap door that provides access to the underground room where a new NPC named Elenora Violetta resides. It's extremely basic, but I'm impressed with the underground room, if I do say so myself. The mod also includes a little bit of backstory as well, in two journals which are easy to find. I'll let you find them and read them, so I won't spoil it here. I know, it's nothing exciting.
The reason I actually started this was because I wanted there to be more shacks in Skyrim. I like discovering shacks for some reason, and I want more. I was also thinking of the Shady Cabin which can be found in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and the initial plan was to model this Shady Cabin after San Andreas' Shady Cabin, but that never happened. But, I still kept the name.
This shack is lore-friendly. It doesn't interfere with the Elder Scrolls lore.
Elenora Violetta is the high elf who has taken residence in the basement. She is an alchemist and mage. She is leveled at 52, so she can be dangerous if provoked, especially to low-level players. Steal her stuff or attack her, and she'll fight back. She also functions as an alchemy merchant, so she sells ingredients and potions.
Another reason I built this is because I also needed a place to enchant items or create potions without having to buy a house first. I know, you can do that at the Jarl's palaces but I wanted something else.
The Shady Cabin is located to the east of Riften. If you follow the path from Riften's south (rear) entrance, it'll take you there. Or, if you're lazy like me, you can simply open the console and type "coc ShadyCabin" without the quotations. It'll take you to the interior cell.
As this is my first bit of custom content, you're downloading this at your own risk. If you have issues, I will attempt to help you, but if it screws up your game, just know that you have been warned. I worked out all the issues I was able to find, but it's possible that there are other problems that I don't know about.
I'm not sure if the Nexus Mod Manager will correctly install this mod, so it may be a good idea to install this mod manually. Fortunately, it's simple, and there are only two things you need to worry about.
First, take the "shadycabin.esp" from the .zip file and install it into your Skyrim Data folder
(usually C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Skyrim\Data), and make sure the plugin is activated if you're using a mod manager such as the Nexus Mod Manager. Restart the Nexus Mod Manager if the plugin doesn't show up in the mods tab.
Secondly, you'll need the FaceGenData, which prevents Elenora's face from looking weird. In the .zip file, there's a folder called "shadycabin.esp". Note that this is a folder, and not an .esp file. Take this folder and install it into your facetint folder
(usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Skyrim\Data\textures\actors\character\FaceGenData\facetint). Create the corresponding folders if you don't have them.
