I realize it may have been a while, but I wanted to say, I absolutely love this mod! It is what i have been looking for for my thief/assassin character. I needed a small hide away that was simple, hidden, and elegant. This is perfect! Thank you!
Nada.. just brought it back online. I took it off for awhile, but not sure why I did that. It's the same old mod. I am soon working on a major mod which is why I haven't much time for this. But if your request is a simple one, then I can add it. You can always add whatever you want to, to any mod if you are familiar with CK. What should be added at this point? And plz don't say nav meshing for follower support. Because I cannot figure that one out. The nav mesh is in place, but it just isn't working.?
Came back to endorse this mod that I've been using for a while as a temporary home... However my version was just basically a hole in the wall with 2 bedrolls and 1 chest It served it's purposes, but nice to see it now has evolved! I'll have to check this out.
Ima say this, if the chest wasn't set to respawn, and there were a few extra chests or barrels to hold items this would be made into a home for my thief with out a doubt. I've been looking for something like this for freaking ages.
Been a while (pc went down for a bit) but I got to test this place and got to say, loving it. But I have some feedback for you and some suggestions!
Instead of a door that kinda sticks out and looks out of place as the entrance, make it a cave entrance and have it a bit hidden by brush or such. To better 'connect' the outside with the inside, sense the entrance is a bit far away from where the home actually is, add a cave tunnel once you get inside to run along that leads to the main 'home' section, to show you are entering a cave and traveling up to the nook. You could add to this by having a cave branch to another area (or two) that could have some herbs or plants you can pick, nothing OP but basic stuff that would seem natural.
Inside again remove the door and just have the cave tunnel leading down to the exit cave. I would also move said door to another area, perhaps near the back of the cave, as where it sits don't leave much room for anything to be 'behind' it when you look at it from outside. http://images.devs-on.net/Image/I4S2qisoLDu5UTDG-Region.png Or the fact that you can look down from with in and see the entrance below... and the door inside face the same way... would that mean the 'path' that would have gotten you inside would be a long tall C shape?
You could also perhaps inside the ''cave' path if it's to much trouble, have it be a small cave with a ladder leading up that someone may have placed after clinbing up and discovering it. Just more food for thought.
Mostly, remove the doors and go with cave, that will help make it feel more like just a natural nook someone found and inhabited at one point.
Remove the other iron door that leads to the anvil, it's not needed and removes the natural feel this place already has. Instead just have a clear path. Also fix the ground around it. I found that going into that extra bit was fine, but trying to exit I got hung up on a edge of a rock and couldn't pass back though the doors with out jumping over said ledge. http://images.devs-on.net/Image/FazrNm92zm9VdL7Z-Region.png Showing the edge I mean. No where along the whole of that rock can I just run over, I have to jump to make it over.
I love the fire effect for the cooking spit, but I would go with a smaller cooking pot then the big long one with many a food on it.
Are the three barrels safe storage? If not make it so.
Love the key and the locker, recommend adding a bit more variants in items, rather than 11 of each to show someone at one point was realistically using it for storage. Perhaps hide the key somewhere else as well.. maybe add a small lock box hidden in a nook in the rocks that you have to lock pick to get to it, something from the last owner.
Speaking of that last owner.. maybe some bones or a body added to show what became of the last person who 'stayed' there. Or add some non respawning bandits that you can kill and take the place for yourself. You can toss the bodys over the ledge ;P Whatever be easier. Bones perhaps. If you know how to do books you could make a short journal from the last owner. Maybe a thief that died from being betrayed by his own men, who grabbed what they could and vacated the area? Food for thought :3
Just some ideas and feedback, so far, I love this place, the doors just take away from the feel of it being a cave someone set up to stay in. If such things were fixed, I would very much like to include this in my Lets Play on youtube, as this looks like a grand fun place to hang.
Those are some fantastic ideas! Many of which I do have plans already for. Such as redesigning the entrance and adding a tunnel of sorts. I do agree the doors are lame. I initially built this for myself just wanting a cool place to chill. But I too realise it isn't as immersive as it could be and a simple story could be added to give the cave some sort of history.
I will work on this soon. However; at the moment I am caught up in real life.
I've been wanting to try my hand at making a player home, but the creation kit gets stuck on 'rotate' with the round axes things and wont leave said mode @.x
Well dude.. CK can be very buggy. In fact I just recently deleted it and had to re-install it. And it's no biggie to do at all. It's not like it deletes any files from your game. And when you reinstall it, it knows exactly where your files are and where you left off.
Some times it's better to do this because it's the best way to fix any bugs in the program. Hope that helps! Let me know if you need any support with that.

umm... Exactly where is this cave located? I've been searching but can't find it anywhere in the Rift... Could you or someone post a picture of it's position?
Oh! Didn't think of that tbh Found it directly once i followed the marker... And I agree that making this cave into a usable player home would get you many more downloads!

Ty for the feedback
