Highly cool, I love the concept. Personally I don't run with any companions; Lydia gets locked up in Breezehome immediately, and Serana gets pawned off to whichever side as soon as the quest ends. So expending all that effort on Lydia's corner is sort of a waste. For me. Lydia's, shall we say, testimony, was funny but unnecessary. The lighting is wierd and way too bright.
All that being said, a truly exemplary effort went into this mod. You hit all the high points, and demonstrated an instinctive grasp of how to use the tools. Giant keys, particle effects, books and notes, lighting, you can handle all the goodies that make a house mod stand out.
My only advice would be to polish it up a bit. Definitely heading in the right direction.
This mod is perfect for inspecting the bouncy 'assets' of the various Wenches that are running around. All that is needed now is a Jiraiya template and a nosebleed mod.
Just got done posting the fix and updated to DragonBum v0.2, Horker & Mammoth Tusk corrected in new update, this was the only thing I accidentally fouled. I use the Vampire version in my game and caught it. Thank you for letting me know thought... And a Big Thank you for the Endorsement...
IF the names are all that you changed, I'll hold off downloading the update.
I do want to double check that if using the Skyrim Unbound mod for alt-starts that Lydia won't sleep in her bed in your mod, as she heads to Breezehome instead, correct? This should be similar if anyone would buy Breezehome for any other reason, for example as part of using a mod that adds a player house elsewhere in the world with doors to each player home in the cities?
Yes, she doesn't exist until you are Thane, but the Skyrim Unbound mod shortcuts the starting quests, resulting in you being a thane but not owning Breezehome or having the housecarl. If you buy the house, you do get Lydia as part of the package.
I wanted to double check that she would sleep in the bed until you buy the house as I haven't tried it with Live Another Life or a normal start yet. Other mods will have an option to move the home location of a housecarl or other follower, but I did not expect you had, for the "all that you own" reasoning you mentioned. Without the house, she will normally wander around the keep, sitting at the table for meals but she (and Irileth, oddly) never go to bed.
Finally, got around to it, downloaded and looked at it, Skyrim Unbound does nothing to Lydia so far as I could tell. So, all I added is the dragonsreach occupant to her and she should have no problems living in dragonsreach and sleeping in her bed now... Take her into the attic and dismiss her. My Lydia went to the chair I put there and sat down, then I waited until 1am she was in her bed sleeping. Dragonborn v0.3, install it and let me know please... Thank you very much for the info... I'm sure this little fix made everyone else happy too.
Well I must have something else conflicting. Lydia did get a grey face from your faction add, by the way. Shouldn't be a problem if I load BIjin's mod for her after yours though you might want to look into that. (also the attic seems a lot brighter in this version, but that might be my settings. )
She didn't sleep in her attic bed for me, and the ingots on top of the safe/workbench are not player owned. Neither is the bed in Breezehome in 0.3 either. I went ahead and bought the bedroom upgrade from Proventus but the bed was still marked as (Owned) and all the items lying around are marked "Steal".
When I'd recruited her, dismissed her, waited till 1am, gave up on her using the bed by 2 and left Dragonsreach she left as well and walked down the Breezehome... where she used her bed there.
I might have to try it with LAL and see what works and what doesn't.
Big Thank you to Karlpaws for pointing out the things I missed, you truely helped me a lot. Fixed Everything. New version v0.4. Lydia's Stuff is Still Lydia's though. As a companion, ask her to do something and have her take her stuff, it's hers after all. Working on Display area upstairs for displaying Masks, Dragon Claws and Much More. Ready by this coming weekend I hope... Please, check back. Multiple Floors, Lots of Storage and huge display up there...
Thank you skaning90 (and Thanks for the endorsement), He is absolutely right about clicking on the link in description, to answer your question though it is a bit darker, this is what my vampire character uses. I had complaints about this one on Skyrim SE, about it being a bit too dark at night, being a vampire, I was out raising hell, so I hadn't noticed. To each his own... DragonBum v0.2 is now Brighter and has better lighting at night now, too bright for my vampire though. And added a few more idle spots for companions, even dogs.
This is--YES! How has no one thought of this before? All that wasted space. The whole place should belong to the Dragonborn if you ask me, and Balgruuf should have to pay me rent. Thank you, friend. Oh yes, you are now my friend, whether you like it or not.

BTW what is different about that? the picture isn't much to go by.
