About this image

Alright so this is well and truly the last of the series. By now I'm seeing wood posts and bits of
thatch in my sleep. 

Here we have what I'm now calling the Farm House 05 model. It's an L shape themed house.
The idea came from the Cyrodiil Rebuild mod. Which basically slapped together a pair of
FarmHouse03 exteriors. And cobbled up the same to make a functioning interior. You can
see their version also in Better Cities Chorrol.

I (quite foolishly) decided one afternoon to try making one of these for real. Vorians had asked
me to take a stab at it almost two years ago, and I thought it was now or never. Surprisingly enough
it all came together pretty well...after two all-nighters and many, many coffees. Makes for a very 
unique looking vanilla home now that it's finished. 

Right now, I'm about 6 days into hacking and pounding on the matching interior space. Wondering
if I'll ever make my way back out the door..hehe. Nothing about the interior space lends itself to 
merging in this fashion. But it's progressing. Every day I solve 2-3 challenges, and so it goes. The 
list gets shorter, and eventually...well..you know...

    Awesome. I guess that any new settlement mod author will be happy to use a house that looks just like vanilla, but offers a slightly diverse look.

    I know perfectly well what it's like to see wood posts and bits of thatch everywhere you look. I've been infected with the same curse. And I feel for you :D

    By the way, have you used any unusual textures here? Doesn't look like it, but I'm just double checking for future. I'm compiling my last two atlases, and want to have all textures used by farm buildings and structures in no more than 4 atlases.

      It's all vanilla textures maczo. Wow! You managed to fit all that into just 4 atlases? Amazing. Easy to see how 4 atlas textures would save draw calls versus the 30+ individual textures in the farmhouse folder
