==================
Description:
==================

Adds a mostly dunmer village to the snowy mountains that lie south of Falkreath.

Contains everything one would expect from a village:
Frontier Goods - A general store:
Owned by a wealthy dunmer who carries some exotic wares and isn't too picky about what you sell to him. The store has a nice sitting area where you can enjoy a sweetroll (for paying customers only!) and warm yourself by the fireplace. The shop owner lives in the basement area and has quite the nice living quarters.

A blacksmith:
Owned by a hardy dunmer who prefers working over her forge and hammering steel more than anything else. She acts as a merchant and acts as a master trainer in smithing.

A historian's cottage:
This lovely, and quite dusty, cottage is owned by Ararvyne Arendu - a historian who is fascinated by Ayleid and Dwemer history. He happens to have a nice collection of unique ayleid and dwemer items strewn about inside his cottage and safely tucked away in his safe, of which, only he has the key to.

Valor's Residence:
Owned by a married couple - the husband being a hunter and his wife an alchemist.

The Cruddy Barrel - A player home:
Essentially, it is a large, enclosed rain barrel that the player can live in. Has five containers, a cooking pot, six harvestable items (rabbits, garlic braids, etc.), a cot, a cute chimney, and clutter. Very cozy. Have fun finding the key (I'll add the location of it in the spoiler's section)! :)

Cold Winter's Inn:
A good escape from the harsh snowstorms and frigid cold climate. Grab some mead and a room from the inn keeper and you're all set for the night!

I've added quite a bit of unique flair to the village as I wanted it to be someplace memorable rather than a cookie-cutter village. Down the line I hope to add a small quest or two, maybe a dungeon, some dialogue, and make the blacksmith a trainer.


==================
Installation:
==================

Use NMM, Wrye Bash, or drag and drop the Snowbound Acres.esp and Snowbound Acres.bsa files into your Skyrim's data folder.


==================
Uninstalling:
==================

Uncheck the esp file in the mod manager of your choosing (Skyrim's default manager, NMM, Wrye Bash, etc.) and delete the esp file and the bsa file from your computer. It is best to save your game in an area that is away from Snowbound Acres before uninstalling.


==================
Incompatible:
==================

May be incompatible with some other mods that change these two cells (the cells are quite isolated so incompatibility should be rare).


==================
Known Issues:
==================

None that I could find. I extensively bugtest my mods before releasing them. Snowbound Acres has been run through TES5Edit and manually inspected to see if there were any dirty edits that the automated cleaning process missed.


==================
Changelog:
==================

10/6/2013 - v1.3 - Bed in The Cruddy Barrel will now give the player a Well Rested bonus, like the vanilla Bethesda player houses do.
Othreloth (the blacksmith) is now a master trainer in smithing and she goes about her daily schedule properly (before, she would stay inside all day).
Added some more clutter to Othreloth's basement as the divider down there looked out of place due to the lack of clutter.
Warpaint has been given to a few of the residents.
Local maps for the interiors have been visually cleaned up.
Gadaves Valor now carries firewood after he has done some wood chopping.
Added a Snowbound Acres road sign to the fork in the road found east of Snowbound Acres.
NPCs should no longer tell the player to leave (unless it is time for them to lock up for the night).
Various small adjustments.
3/9/2013 - v1.2.2 - Created a new sign for Frontier Goods.
12/29/2012 - v1.2.1 - Corrected the type of loot that is found in Arendu's safe.

==================
The Cruddy Barrel�s Key Location (Spoiler):
==================

The key to The Cruddy Barrel is located in... a fake rock that is underneath the porch of the blacksmith to the left of The Cruddy Barrel. The fake rock acts as a container so lift/open it up and take that key!
