About this mod

A close-to-nature underground hideout beneath an old tree stump. Located near Riverwood. Instantly accessible. Has everything a Dragonborn needs.

I wanted a refuge for my Dragonborn. Something hidden, cozy and calm, but also a bit mysterious and gloomy. And also immersive and lore-friendly. A place away from the all those dragons, elves, soldiers, monsters that are out to kill poor Dovahkiin. This is the result of this idea:

Sylvanheim is an small underground refuge located near Riverwood. You can access it by entering a huge old tree stump. The interior is a combination of cozy home and natural cave. The images will probably give you a better idea. It would nicely fit an argonian, vampire or werewolf, or anyone who prefers the serenity of nature over the bustle of the city.

It terms of story, it is the former home of Sees-Beneath-The-Skin, an Argonian universal genius, who used it to pursue her studies in peace. This background is also present ingame, but only in an unobtrusive way.

 This home does not contain any items that will make you stronger/richer or otherwise disrupt balance. The best things you'll find are a few salt-piles or iron ingots.


List of Features:
- Detailed, immersive decoration
- Lore-friendliness
- Two Mannequins (optional)
- A shrine to Kynareth to cure your diseases (optional)
- Lots of safe storage containers, labelled into categories
- Everything a Dragonborn could possibly need for crafting: Forge, grindstone, workbench, tanning rack, smelter, alchemy table, enchanting table, cooking spit,
- Weapon racks
- A Bookshelf
- Bed
- A small garden with some alchemical plants growing there
- A small pool of water, to quench your thirst if you use the Realistic Needs and Diseases mod (not tested for other needs mods)
- Lots of hanging moss. Seriously, you'll never want for hanging moss if you use this mod.
- Easy-to-access location, you get head there as soon as you leave Helgen
- Fast-travel point just outside with functional horse-marker (if you fast-travel there your horse awaits you near the entrance)
- A note explaining the background of Sylvanheim (look for it outside, near the entrance)
- It's now possible to bring followers inside

- Aaaaaand Wick, a pet mudcrab. If you don't want one, just kill it, but that makes you a horrible person!


Enjoy. Feedback is appreciated, especially since this is the first mod I've ever designed. And of course, if you find any bugs, do tell me.


Installation:
There are four different versions of the mod. Only download one of them.
1. Version. The manequinless version. It has the shrine, but NOT the mannequins.
2. Version: The full version, it contains both the Shrine to Kynareth and the two mannequins.
3. Version: The shrineless version. It features two mannequins, but NO SHRINE.
4. Version: The minimal version. It has NEITHER the manniquins NOR the shrine.

Requirements:
Latest version of basic Skyrim

Update:
If you update this, better remove all your stuff from Sylvanheim, delete the mod, and install the new version.

Conflicts:
There shouldn't be any, except with mods that add stuff to the world in the same location (south-east of Riverwood, up the mountain)
