I made this mod cause' although there are many great house mods out there, none seemed cool or original enough to suit me. I wanted a home with the atmosphere of more "eye candy" based house mods, combined with the function of others. I was never a fan of large wide open spaced "manor' style homes with bleak lighting and a million mannequins. So I decided to create something a little smaller and cozy/immersive/fantasyesque to suit my taste.



vb1.0: original release

vb1.1: Second release. Replaces textures that were causing some users to have purple texture displays in some parts of the home. Also tweaked some specular maps, added sandbox idle animations to more areas, and placed a collision box over small area that allowed the player to become stuck at times.

vb1.2: Third release.
Added two seperate versions.
Tweaked the ticking clock sound to be a little less annoying. Small navmesh edit to solve misbehaving mannequin. Added more comprehensive readme.

vb1.3: Fourth release.
Tweaks to mod to make file size significantly smaller. Optimized textures, changed a few textures that didnt look very good. Added a path to the cottage among various other "eye candy" tweaks.
Fixed secret door in wine cellar to not have a activate option. Should be much, much easier on computer memory
Tweaked general displays version a little to be more intuitive.



Latest Version of skyrim
If you use the General Displays .esp then obviously you need to install general displays first ;P
All DLCS (both versions of my .esp require this, so if you dont have all the dlcs then this mod wont work)
