DESCRIPTION
==================================
A quirky old lady passes alone, but not sadly. In her visions, she has seen you doing great things for the world she leaves behind; and as she has no other family, she has named you as her only heir. What have you inherited? She didn't have much of interest or value to her name, except for a well-loved house in the Heartlands on the Blue Road. At least, so you think. =)

Gram' wasn't much of an adventurer, mind you, but you're not likely to find a cozier abode in all Cyrodiil. Grab the key from a hollow rock near the front door. Light the fires in the kitchen's potbelly stove and the upstairs fireplace, and make yourself at home.

This mod sat in beta for over a year, with an excellent quest story planned - the house was really just a small part of the mod. However, in a year, I haven't made time to finish the quest. And so, prompted by a request for a UL compatibility patch, I've completely refurbished the house to stand alone as a proper house mod until the time I can finish its story. And I will finish it!

House features:

• Plenty of living space
• Tons of safe storage*
• Interesting, unique décor
• Beautiful exterior (AWLS-compatible)
• Mage altar**
• Static alchemy lab**
• Automated ingredient storage
• Automatic day/night interior lighting AWLS-style
• Companion-friendly pathing & seating, bed sleeps two
• Teleport spell to take you, your horse, & your companions home
• Fancy basement & more for anyone who likes surprises
  

Cobl features, if you use the Cobl version:

• Dinner plate
• Water source
• Cobl standard ingredient storage
• Cobl standard alchemy lab**
• Grinder*
  

*The waste baskets empty themselves daily and are NOT safe for storage - they will warn you as such the first time you open them.
*The Cobl Grinder is never safe for storage.

**HOUSE OPTIONS

When activated, the control panel in the basement opens a menu so you can customize some features to your liking. Here are some details on each option:

Static Alchemy Lab
By default, activating the static alchemy lab will allow you to perform alchemy as though you had one of each apparati in your inventory. This is leveled, in that the type of apparati is determined by your alchemy skill. E.g., if you are an Expert alchemist, you will be performing alchemy as though you had an Expert alembic, calcinator, retort, and mortar & pestle in your inventory. You can remove this function and have the existing apparati be for decoration only, if you prefer. If you use the Cobl version, you have a third option of trading out the whole rig for the Cobl standard alchemy lab, which is still stationary but requires you to provide your own equipment.

Mage Altar
The mage altar can only be used by a very skilled caster, or one initiated to the Mages Guild. You can disable its functionality if you prefer it be for decoration only.

Healing Altar
The healing altar has no conditions or requirements. You can disable its functionality if you prefer it to be for decoration only.

Anvil
Allows you to repair your gear without using up your hammers.  You can disable its functionality if you prefer it to be for decoration only.

Curtains
You can hide the curtains to expose the bare windows. I recommend to do this if you have All Natural.


All Natural support, See You Sleep support, and compatibility patches for The Ayleid Steps, Unique Landscapes, and Heart of the Dead are also included in the main download.

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.

New this version

• Added a repair station in the basement.  Like the rest of the mod's fancier features, it can be disabled via the house's control panel in-game if you find it overpowering.
