mlrose's Enhanced Lakeview Manor

It's a mod series to enhance the Lakeview Manor interior to something more deserved by the Dragonborn. The idea is make a beautiful house with more space and features without the clutter of the original. Also, It'll make the interior of the manor more compatible with the exterior for the ones who use the Lakeview Extended mod, what is my case.




The Entrance Hall (Small House)

I hate so much the vanilla small house or entrance hall. Everything is so messed up and ugly and useless.
I changed so many things here and now everything is so beautiful and organized and even useful. It's cozy and charming.
It's all navmeshed, the weapon plaques and the display case are functional, there's a cabinet for tools or survival stuffs for a quickly leave. It's all great. At least for me.
Please, see the pics.
Hope you all enjoy.

Installation

*Always make back-up saves before trying new mods.*

Make sure you are outside the Lakeview manor before installing.
Download the mod and install on NMM or download the zip manually, extract and copy the files to your Skyrim's data folder.
You need to buy the Lakeview Manor and build the Small House and Main Hall with cellar, just to be sure that nothing goes wrong. You can also upgrade the Small House to Entryway. Then remove the workbench of the room.

I tested the installation and activation of the mod before and after building anything. I noticed twice (because I tested several times) that the weapons I had put on the plaques were gone and the plaques were no longer working. I really don't know why, if it's mod conflict or anything else, so I need feedback. So, just for sure, do not place any important weapon in the plaques for now.

I didn't tested with the room fully furnished, but you can give it a try and send me the results.




Compatibility

This mod should be compatible with any mods that don't change the small house of the Lakeview Manor. Also, if you use any other Lakeview interior mods, put my mod after the others on the load order or you won't use my navmesh alterations.
If you're using my first mod, ELM Bedroom Wing, put the ELM Entrance Hall after the Bedroom Wing in the load order, or NPCs will pass trough the wall between the bedroom and library. I'll make an optional file with both navmesh alterations, but later.
If you find any problems or bugs let me know.




Uninstall

Before uninstall, remove any items from the room that you want to keep, leave the manor and make a hard save. Then you can uninstall the mod in NMM or delete the files from your data folder. Load your save and save again. Done.
