Having to take a break from modding at the present time due to life commitments as a carer. Hopefully will be back soon to continue with tweaks on my mods and further WIP mods and requests.
In the mean time if anyone wants to tweak/upgrade/play with my mods in the CK then please feel free.
Compliments: Very nicely executed, on the outside. The approach (right road up from the Dragon Bridge) is perfect and feels like it was always meant to lead up to something (which was never there)...it's grand.
The appearance, on the outside, fits the surroundings (the boardwalk leading up, nicely done - the arrangement in the trees, nicely done) and is lovely.
Great views of the river, the Dragon Bridge, and surrounding area.
This is the perfect location for a character who wants to be city-adjacent, but not in the thick of Solitude (yet in the Haafingar/Solitude area), and yet have just-down-the-steps access to a small town & tavern. Admittedly, a tree house home is not something you expect just on the outskirts of/in Dragon Bridge, but this is discreet enough and designed well enough within the style of the area (again, the boardwalk lead-up) to make it feel like it somehow fits. Playing a Bosmer, this location was a novel & refreshing change.
If anyone would care to try to update this mod as FadeWillow said, I'd ask for these things:
1) Navmesh & sandbox for followers
2) remove the archery target from atop the nearest Dragon Bridge building (is it the tavern?) - no offense but its position is silly for practical reasons (can't retrieve arrows), looks awkward & like it would tip off at any moment, and is actually hard to find a decent place to shoot at from, from the tree house. You pretty much have to go down to ground level, and that's just...mad.
3) the brazier inside the forge/armory is missing its base, has a second fire activator where its base should be, instead.
4) add a small smelter to that forge/armory room please - maybe where the messed up brazier is
5) Decorate the main house a bit; it's a bit austere (plain). During the day it feels dark & musty & needs light. At night it's actually well-lit (kudos) !
I would love it if someone with more skill than I possess with the CK would navmesh this. I'm not the kind of person who takes a war party with me everywhere, but I do like having a follower with me on the road. Not being able to invite them in is the only thing that's keeping me from using this beautiful place.
Again what a nice treat to come home to after a hard day, you are a star and I really appreciate these videos you do for my mods. The music you choose and that voice of yours set them homes off beautifully x
I guess we have the same tastes and use the same character!!! Now my bosmer can finally leave the tent and move to a house that feels like home. Only two issues: I have a little performance hit near and in the house and... why in Dragon´s Bridge!!!! A more central location would have been perfect! Sorry, I shouldn´t be demanding with modders. Thanks for sharing your work. Endorsed.
Sorry about the performance hit - I truly don't know what that could be without knowing what other mods or enhancements you use. I will be making a new tree house soon and am open to suggestions on location
I will be doing another one in a different area (Vanilla & navmeshed) soon, unfortunately I have a couple of request house mods to finish first and as im a full time carer I don't have that much time but I will get there
Just wanted to say I love this house! I was unsure about the placement at first but it fits in just fine in Dragonbridge and I really like the views. I love the little bridges and everything across/in the trees and how everything is separated into two little buildings. You've got my endorsement!
Oh im glad you like it - I made it in DB as I like the views there and I tried to make it so you could not see the lodge very well (kinda hidden) so it didn't stick out like a sore thumb and look out of place
Sorry about that, my char uses realistic needs and cooks. I'm currently doing another mod but may make a vanilla one in the future if people want that.
Yes, please, yes...I would love a vanilla version, or at least one that's not dependent on Dragonborn. This place looks lovely and I've been sad that I can't try it out. No need to apologize for designing the place to suit yourself, though.
Are you using any Dragonborn resources aside from the Dunmer lanterns? If not, perhaps you might consider replacing them with the very similar vanilla lanterns used in the Snowbound Acres mod - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/28131/?
Il be totally honest and say I cant truly remember I just build as I fancy with all dlc's - however saying that the mod im working on at the moment is pure vanilla just to see what I can come up with. So as soon as im done with that one (shouldn't be long) Il start a new tree lodge (vanilla) and try to get it as near as I can to this one.
