DESCRIPTION

What?

This Mod adds a small wooden (pent-)shack on stilts with a hottub, shower, tanningrack and sharpening
stone in the Wind District of Whiterun.It's in the Whiterun worldspace so there are no load-doors.

All candles are switchable (i'm simply assuming you've got matches), the shower and the bubbles in the hottub can be
turned on and off too. The bedroll on the wardrobe also works as an activator for an extra bedroll and the disco-lever
turns on some flashing LECs(you know...LightEmittingChauruseggs) if you've got some dancing mods installed...
I didn't add music cause most dancemods bring their own and it's still very CTD-heavy for me to add music to Skyrim.

I placed auto-strip triggers at the hottub and the shower but there's no full-nudity unless you've installed a nude bodymod

The place is fully navmeshed and i used Rain and Snow Clipping Mod to keep the inside dry. There's also a RealShelter version, if you already got that installed. It's pretty small so NPCs (as usual) might have a little trouble walking around the narrow places.
It's also not supposed to be lore-friendly, i just went for the look of things...


Why? (so you know what to expect)

I honestly use most playerhomes to put followers inside and make them use it as home with My Home Is Your Home.
Well, after installing MrStoob's wonderful Some Followers mod i couldn't simply dismiss Felicity and decided to keep her in the game.

Style-wise i wanted some crossover between Underground Bathhouse, Whiterun Hut and Whiterun Shelter  (exterior ftw!) with a
dash of Greenboat. There should also be some ''kinkyness'' involved so all those skimpy armors wouldn't stand out so much ;-)
and the place should have a lot of people walking by ,doing stuff.

This is what i ended up with.

It is intended as a Follower-Home so nothing is owned by the player, nearly everything is static and there's no food/kitchen cause it's
in Whiterun and the character is normally eating out in the Taverns. Since she's living in a city i didn't see the need for more crafting
stations cause it's all there...Not much weapons-wise either, she's an adventurer(-ess??) not a warrior.

I guess it could be turned into a playerhome pretty easy, so if you feel like it, go ahead !No permissions needed from my end.
I used a ton of resources though and the original authors deserve credit.





Where?

The PentShack is located behind the statue of Talos, between Jorrvaskr and Dragonsreach with a nice view of the Gildergreen.
It's best reached using the stairs leading up to Jorrvaskr.



Notes:

- Frostfall heatsources in oven and hottub
- the stilthouse is retextured to fit Whiterun's look a little better (brighter)
- the stuff on the wallshelf near the bed is a nod to Leito86's new animations from...somewhere else....
- I'm aware of the dangers of adding a house in a crowded spot like Whiterun, so i took great care not to move or alter
   all the vanilla stuff that's already there.
  The file has been checked with TES5Edit (as far as i understand it) and the only changes are listed below.
- rescaled the TalosStatue from 2.23 to 1.6  (no disrespect, he's still big....)
- some way-/spawnpoints were moved to avoid clipping but i tried to keep the overall impact minimal
  the shack fits neatly between some civilwarquest  related ''things''. (trying not to spoil anything)
- modified one patrolmarker to wait 10sec and take a look over



Requirements

It requires Skyrim Script Extender 1.7.1 or higher, and Skyrim 1.9.32 or higher.

A somewhat powerful Computer, depending on how modded your Whiterun is...
(but it works fine on my 2x2.3Ghz,2GbRAM,GTS450-2GbVRAM,WinXP without HD-texture-mod-stuff)



Recommended (but not required)

INSTALLING THE MOD

manual:
Unzip the file "PentShack_Whiterun.v.X.X" into the /data folder where Skyrim is installed.

But i suggest you use the NexusModManager!



PLAYING THE MOD

From the Skyrim Launcher, select Data Files and check the box next to the
name pentshack_WR.esp.
You might not want to have it last in the order...that caused problems for me with many mods on the ''first load''.

Make sure you start Skyrim using SKSE launcher.



DISABLING THE MOD

From the Skyrim Launcher, select Data Files and UNcheck the box next to the
name of pentshack_WR.esp.
For a complete uninstall you'll have to open the zipfile and delete all the copied contents from skyrim's data folder...



CONFLICTS / KNOWN ISSUES

- the folding doors cut through the furniture when opening/closing
  +they have a pretty large collisionbox when moving!
- you can't step really close to the middle window due to the invisible stone''base'' on the stiltbeams
  (had a really tough time finding the right wood for the job.....)
- the last step of the wooden stairs has no collision and the collisionbox i put there tends to act sticky sometimes
