Installation
NMM, Vortex, or MO2: simply install the mod.
Manual: open the downloaded file with 7zip, and then click and drag the .ESP into Skyrim's Data folder.
The entrance is now located on the guard platform on the wall -- take the tower stairs to the right, then walk along the platform, go straight then turn right until you see the door. It's done that way in order to reduce compatibility problems with most city overhauls.
Compatibility Issues
JK's Solitude / Skyrim -- The revised version now relocates the house entrance at the sentry walkway/wall above The Winking Skeever, so as to avoid problems with JK's mod. Likewise, the garden that came with the previous versions have been removed.
Dawn of Solitude -- same as above, entrance relocated at the sentry walkway/wall.
Open Cities -- NOT COMPATIBLE.
Uninstallation
NMM/Vortex: Simply uninstall the mod.
MO2: deactivate the mod and remove.
Manual: make a gamesave away from Solitude, preferably in an interior cell, exit Skyrim; open Skyrim's Data folder, find SolitudeTheLuckySkeeverHome.esp and its accompanying .BSA, and delete both of them.
Upgrading (just in case)
Take all stored items from containers, chests and racks, and then step out of the house, before making a new gamesave and exiting Skyrim. Use the installation procedure to upgrade the mod, before going back into the game.
Troubleshooting
If a certain object is out of position (i.e. enchanting table, wine rack), open the console (the tilde key ~), click on the offending object, then type and enter recycleactor to return the object to its proper position.
