ATTENTION: THERE IS A MBP-FREE VERSION AVAILABLE !!!
Update 1.01:
If you are using the MBP version, there is very little new here. All I did was change the filename of Textures\\Stroti\\Smallhouse\\leyawiinstuco_n.dds (there was an _wall01_n there). You can do that by hand quicker than downloading this.
If you downloaded the vanilla esp, there is now an updated one in the archive with fixed AI, better faces and some other small tweaks. See the new screenshots.

This mod adds a small village by the name of Brena Valley Creek to Tamriel. This little town has a playerhouse and the NPC are LopEar mini Elves.

Location
==========

The village is located at a small lake near the Hammerfel border, North of Kvatch, near Infested mine. A mapmarker will be added when you load the mod, in case you don't feel like travelling there on foot.

Details
==========

The village is made with the very small house resource by Stroti, textured with Leyawiin colors. The people that live in Brena Valley Creek have fully working AI. One of them is a merchant. They are set to essential and have some skills to defend themselves in case a bear happens to wander into the village. They like to swim, so in the afternoon, when the sun is out, they will dive into the lake for a refreshing bath.

The houses are very small and therefor very good for small people. The playerhome included is not very special, but a nice retreat from your adventures. It's already set to player ownership so you don't have to buy it.

Requirements
==========

x117Race Plus Plus - http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=37377
Modular Beautiful People 2ch Edition Plus Plus - http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=37368 - Required for x117Race

As of version 1.01 a vanilla plugin is also included in the archive as an optional file. It does not require MBP or x117, the NPCs have been given vanilla races. You miss out on the cute faces and the overall feel of the village, but you do get a fully functional village.

HGEC female bodies for the female outfits.
Robert Male bodies for a few male outfits.
BBB compatible skeleton (Growlf's or Coronerra's)
BBB compatible animations recommended (NoMaaM)

Optional File
==========

I have added an optional file for people handy with the CS.
This file contains only an all-vanilla esp, the npc's part that is. As of version 1.01 this one is outdated (v1.01 has an updated copy of the esp with some small fixes to the AI and some new and improved faces).

Install
==========
Unpack the archive, drop the meshes, textures and esp into your datafolder. Activate the esp and play.
