Mod works as intended, so don't expect any updates.
I don't develop old mods any more.

____________________________________________
:: REQUIREMENTS ::
- Skyrim up to date
- All DLC
:: GENERAL ::
You decide when you get the house. The key is in Bard's College, Viarmo's room. Remember to check around the all the books in the pile.
The bed gives Well Rested bonus or a spouse bonus. The whole place is navmeshed so you can bring a spouse or companions. No, I won't add companion beds.
None of the storage will respawn.
There's a chest by the smithy in Solitude for you to throw you smithing mats into. It can also be locked, with a key you find in the house.
The house itself only has alchemy, enchanting and arrow crafting + cooking.
I didn't put up any fancy displays up, because Jaxonz Positioner is such a great tool. You can use that to take advantage of the big empty shelf in the hidden room, or turn that shelf into a bookshelves if you're one of them "Collect all the books!" types.
If you don't like my storage names, you can change them with Jaxonz Renamer.
Cleaned and polished with TES5Edit.

:: ARROW CRAFTING ::
How to make poisoned arrows:
The basis of the arrows with special effects are Hunter's Arrows (Bosmer arrow)
To make Hunter's Arrows, which are the main ingredient for the poisoned arrows, you need to learn an ability "Secrets of Arrow Craft".
The book can be found in the secret room of the house (Book of Secrets 2).
After you've read the book you are able to craft Hunter's Arrows at the forge under "Elven", and then use the arrow poisoning font.
I left a book with all the recipes on the table next to the crafting font, so you can check what ingredients each arrow needs.
Since you need the poison fungus to make REALLY powerful arrows, the fungus is made plantable.
Use the roof top garden to grow more fungus (gives you both the fungus and its poison in a bottle)
Before you ask why I used the DLC:
Dawnguard: Effects and ingredients for poisons
HF: Planting the fungus since I didn't want to mess with distribution lists
Dragonborn: Ingredients, effects (poison spider) and the fungus mesh
:: FAQ ::
Q: The activators for items don't work.
A: Sometimes you have to press twice for the rug triggers to work.
Q: WHY IS THIS FILE SO HUGE, it's a small home!?
A: All the armours for display, the paintings, papers and such add up. I'm using all high res textures and resources.
Q: I DON'T WANT FRAKKIN BUNNIES!?
A: Disable them with console.
Q: I'm not going to play a thief, what do I do with the empty shelf?
A: It will work as any old shelf if you don't want to use it for TG trophies. Place somethin else on it.
Q: How do I switch between male and female armour?
A: It doesn't work like that switching around. The house detects the player's gender upon first time entering, and enables the gender appropriate armours and decor. You can't switch it later.
Q: The crows are just standing still!
A: I had nice actor versions but I can't hear back from the creator of them for permission so I can't release that. When I hear back from them, I'll
update the mod.
Q: Can I disable the bookshelf in the secret room when there's books on it?
A: PLEASE BY THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY DON'T DISABLE THE BOOKSHELF IF YOU HAVE BOOKS IN IT.
