Ivy Shores Manor was born from my desire for a simple, lore-friendly player home that was both realistic and functional. So many other player home mods look beautiful and have tons of player conveniences, but don't quite feel like a part of the Skyrim universe. My solution to this was to create a home using only vanilla assets and designed in a way that reflected the aesthetic of the game environment, while still feeling unique.

This is the first mod I've ever made, so any suggestions on how I might improve upon it would be greatly appreciated. Likewise, if you encounter any bugs or glitches, be sure to let me know!

Mod Versions:
This mod includes two versions of Ivy Shores Manor. In terms of design, the two versions are nearly identical. Where they differ is the lighting.

RL Version:
This version of the home includes a lighting template taken from Realistic Lighting Overhaul and features light sources that are placed in a realistic manner. Meaning every object that would produce light has its own light source. However, this does not mean that this version of the mod can't be used with other lighting mods. I'm currently using the mod with Enhanced Lighting and FX and I think it looks awesome.

NRL Version:
This version of the home features a lighting template taken from the vanilla game. Specifically, the homes added by the Hearthfire DLC. Additionally, the home has vanilla-like light sources, meaning that there are fewer light sources overall and what light sources there are tend to light up a larger area. For example, the fireplace provides the vast majority of the light in the main room and covers an area far bigger than its counterpart in the RL version. This is the "brighter" of the two versions, so if you don't want a really dark home, I'd suggest giving this version a try.

Compatibility:
This mod should be with compatible with most mods so long as they don't modify the same cell as Ivy Shores Manor, Ilinalta's Deep, or Falkreath.

Incompatible:
SkyTEST - Realistic Animals and Predators: This mod does cause a bear to spawn on the back patio. A patch is available in the Optional Files.

Verdant - ASkyrim Grass Plugin: This mod causes grass to clip through the floor of the patio and makes the area around the house look overgrown. I'm not sure how to make a compatibility patch for this.

Enhanced Vanilla Trees SSE: The changes to the trees made by this mod cause some clipping in and around the house.

Recommended Mods:
Multiple Floor Sandboxing (Without this mod, NPCs may not see all markers in the house)
Noble Skyrim (The house looks even better with this mod)

Installation Requirements:
Official Hearthfire DLC
Official Dawnguard DLC
Official Dragonborn DLC
