==================================
DESCRIPTION
==================================
So, you've been everywhere and done everything. You've scholared, adventured, and won hearts all over Cyrodiil. Why, then, does your upscale town house look like you're halfway done moving out? Well, I don't know either, so I fixed it for you. Yay!
With this mod, Rosethorn Hall will reflect your upstanding citizenship. Maybe you've read all those books on the shelves, or maybe you have them out to appear intellectually curious to your friends. Maybe you really do entertain dinner guests of influence, or maybe you'll eat the entire feast spread on the table on your own. Maybe you're a hit with the ladies and/or gents, and you need a second spread table in the bedroom for private breakfasts - or maybe you just like to sit about in your pajamas. Maybe the extra storage reflects the mechanics of an efficient and well-staffed upper class household, or maybe you just need extra places to store your stuff. Whatever your reasons, however you play, your Rosethorn Hall will now be mildly Better.
You can safely install this mod at anytime. Added objects will not appear until you have purchased the furniture package they belong to, as they have all been tied into the existing furniture groups.
Pathgrids were edited to ensure the space is NPC/companion-friendly.
This is not a heavy-handed overhaul. It is really meant to flesh out vanilla design. If you're looking for indoor bird sanctuaries or pleather sofas or personal bath houses, this ain't it.
All meshes have been pyffi'd for best performance, all resources have unique file paths, and all plugins have been cleaned with TES4Edit for best compatibility.
==================================
REQUIREMENTS
==================================
Requires the latest official Oblivion patch (1.2.0.416).
==================================
INSTALLATION
==================================
You may install this mod via BAIN or NMM, or create an omod directly from the archive if you wish.
Manual Installation:
1) Use 7zip to extract the archive you downloaded to a temporary location.
2) Copy "Better Rosethorn Hall.esp" and "Better Rosethorn Hall.bsa" to your ..Oblivion\Data folder. Click "Yes" to overwrite, if prompted.
3) If you have Cobl and use the "Cobl Glue.esp", also copy "Better Rosethorn Hall - Cobl Patch.esp" to your ..Oblivion\Data folder. Click "Yes" to overwrite, if prompted.
4) Activate the plugin(s) in the launcher of your choice.
Note for All Users:
Yes, you need to remove all your stuff and your character from the house before either installing or uninstalling this mod.
If you used an automated installer (such as NMM) to install this mod for you, make sure you REMOVE the Cobl patch from your Data folder if you don't have "Cobl Glue.esp". BAIN users can use the esp/m filter to avoid installing it in the first place.
Load order goes like this:
--Any mod that changes Rosethorn Hall's interior--
Cobl Glue.esp

==================================
COMPATIBILITY, BUGS & TROUBLESHOOTING
==================================
There are no known bugs.
This mod only changes the interior decor of Rosethorn Hall, and thus is already compatible with any mod except those that also greatly change the interior of Rosethorn Hall. Mods that only add a container or somesuch should be fine. Let me know if you encounter any that need patching.
If anything in the house is out of place, the FIRST thing you should do is toggle the Main Breaker Switch in the basement. Often, the placement of objects, or if they are displayed at all, gets stored in your saved game - so you might not see everything as a modder meant in existing interiors like player homes. The breaker switch will effectively reset the house how I designed it to be. If that doesn't fix the issue, make a clean save & reinstall. If that still doesn't fix the issue, I can't help you - either you have weird dirty data in your save, or you have a mod conflict you're unaware of, or you have possibly not been diligent in making a clean save and using the Main Breaker Switch.
