Dovahkiin's Hide-a-Way

Version 1.2

Welcome to the Dovahkiin's Hide-a-Way. The idea behind this mod is to give the Dragonborn a nice place to call home,
but have everything they need for day-to-day function as well, without having to travel 5 minutes through a huge castle.
Quite a few ideas for this mod came from ch0k3h0ld's Dovahkiin's Warehouse and Bedroom mod, as I initially was using
his mod for a player home and liked some of the things he did. I've marked a few things in the list below with a CH
to indicate I got the idea for that specific item from Ch0k3h0ld's mod.

Installation: Extract the .ZIP file and copy the .ESP file into your Data Folder under your Skyrim Game location.
(Typically C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\Data)
Launch Skyrim and click on Data and make sure the mod is activated.

Uninstall: Delete the .ESP file

Features:
Customized chests with labels for your materials. (i.e. Ingots, Jewels, Hides, etc)
Plenty of bulk storage
Plenty of Weapon Racks, Display Cases, Plaques and Mannequins.
Miniature Guardian Stones - CH
Miniature Altars - CH
Crafting stations for everything you might need.
Large library in a separate cell to keep lag down. DOZENS of bookshelves for storing books.
Potion Racks
Fully operating kitchen and dining room.
Servants Quarters
Plenty of open space for further customization
Map Marker ready for fast travel.
Navmeshed
Much more inside!

Known issues
1 person so far has mentioned the potion racks do not work for them. They work fine for me, so I'd like some input on this.
Brianna doesn't seem to want to patrol... I've tried 3 differant ways of setting her up, and each time she just wanders in the same area...I'm working on this, but it's not top priority. Once she follows you, she operates as normal.

Future Plans-

Adding Housecarls
Possibly attaching a quest or two for custom loot.

Changelog:
v1.2
60% mod overhaul. Improved navmesh, updated the book, and a bunch of other stuff. Read Changelog for full details.

v1.1
Fixed some lighting and a few bugs here and there.



About this mod and the author:
I spent weeks searching for "The perfect player house" with no success. I FINALLY came across something that was 95% perfect. The only issue I had with it was there were a few things missing I would have liked and it was a lot bigger than I needed, so I learned the Creation Kit and began editing his mod (Creating a side mod as it were), adding the things I wanted. But it still wasn't perfect, because there
was only so much room to work with.
So I learned MORE of the CK and finally learned enough to build my own, incorporating a lot of ideas from the Dovahkiin's Warehouse & Bedroom (See Below). This is my first full blown mod, but certainly not my last. (You were right, Ch0k3... It's addicting...)

Special Thanks:
I could not have done this without the help of a few people.
First, Several people in the Nexus chatroom for little tidbits here and there.
Additionally, the following people:
Ghaunadaur - For their Potion Rack modder's resource
Eldiabs - For their Modder's Resource - Weapon Racks, Bookshelves, Plaques Etc

Most of all, I want to thank Ch0k3h0ld for his unending patience, willingness to help, offer advice, answering ENDLESS newbie questions, and giving me permission to edit his mod in the beginning as a learning experience. If it hadn't been for you, Ch0k3, I'd have never been able to complete this mod. I'll never live up to your skill, but the progress I've made I'm very proud of and it's thanks to you. :)
Check out ch0k3h0ld's mods Dovahkiin's Warehouse & Bedroom and the addon Dovahkiin's Armory on the Nexus. They're truly epic. My mods will never compete with his and I can't in good conscience post my mod without giving props to his. :) Thanks again for everything, Ch0k3.
