About this mod

Adds a dark, spider infested, haunted-themed player home to the Rift Hold, south and a little east of Riften. The house, best suited for evil Mages and/or Vampires, is a fairly modest one room building. However, it has a semi-large basement complete with a friendly ghost and alternate exit to skyrim, among many other things.

Enhanced Blood Textures

Makes the blood decals way more realistic and therefore vastly improves the look of this mod.


Description
===========

Adds a dark, spider infested, haunted-themed player home to the Rift Hold, south and a little east of Riften. The house, best suited for evil Mages and/or Vampires, is a fairly modest one room building. However, it has a semi-large basement complete with a friendly ghost and alternate exit to skyrim, among many other things.

Note: To preserve the ambiance of the house, I suggest not using torches or magelight, and instead turn up the brightness if you can't see good enough. If enough people complain about it I'll up the ambient lighting.


Features
======

Nav-Meshing for followers
Hours of playtesting for errors
Cleaned esp
1 room house, 2 room basement
9 non-respawning containers, including one at each entrance
2 thrones
4 beds (1 is a coffin with a bedroll in it, temporary spot for vamps.)
Custom Shrine with all new buff (Regenerate Magicka 15% faster for 8 hours)
Weapon Plaque (More later?)

Custom Imagespace for a unique setting
Friendly Ghost (basement area)
Cattle NPC which sleeps 24/7
Friendly small Frostbite Spider (main house)
Frostbite Spiders on walls, ceilings
Respawning goodies including potions and ingredients, but not overkill I hope
Semi-hidden, respawning Treasure!
Dragons can land on the house in combat
And more!


Location
========

To get to the house:
Quick way: Fast Travel there; discovering the house beforehand is not necessary. Look south and a little east of riften on your world map, near the south border, for the travel icon.
Long way: Head to the Shadow Stone from the south gate of Riften. From the Shadow Stone, head south, until you see a dragon burial mound slightly to the east. Pass the mound, and keep going straight until you see the house.

To-Do List (WIP)
=========

Make a quest to obtain the house
Add more ghosts, quest related
Add more scary things both inside and out
Add a chopping block outside
Replace the "bedroll-in-a-coffin-bed" with a "justa-coffin-bed" (done)
Reduce the footstep volume of the Small Frostbite Spider (If possible within the editor)
I'm sure there's more...


History
=======

1.1: Fixed Nav-Meshes (Including Cattle not sleeping), fixed a couple placement errors, increased Altar buff magnitude, moved altar to cellar (in the room with skeletons), MOVED THE LOCATION OF THE EXTERIOR TRAPDOOR to a logical location, just leave the cellar to the outside to see where it's at now.
1.0: Initial (non-beta) release


Known Bugs
==========

None that I know of.


Compatibility
============

Compatible with all mods that do not alter the worldspace cells (43, -31) and (44, -31). If you do not know what that means, then don't worry about it.


Install
=======

1. Copy the files to \Skyrim\Data\
2. Start your Skyrim Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a checkmark beside the .esp file.


Uninstall
=========

Untick the ESP from your data files. Delete the ESP if desired.
