Description
Purewater Retreat is a small orc hut player home, located at Purewater Run, slightly northwest from the orc Stronghold Dushnikh Yal, in the southwest corner of Skyrim.

The player home is ideal for a lone adventurer who likes to (or has reasons to) live off the beaten path. The tiny hut has got only one single bed, but much storage plus alchemy- and enchanting-tables, and a few bookshelves. The bed will give a well rested bonus, and there's several crafting features outside.

As the small hut has got only 1 bed and hence the mod has not been optimized for followers, see technical for more info.

Requirements
Skyrim.esm.

No DLC is required.

Compability
This mod edits the exterior cell Tamriel -39,-5 (= Purewater Run Exterior) and will conflict with other mods who do the same.

Installation
Extract the zip-file and paste the content of the Data folder into your Skyrim-Data folder. To be precise; PurewaterRetreat.esp goes into your Skyrim-Data directory, and the 3 .nif-files into Skyrim/Data/Meshes/Architecture/Orcish. If you don't paste in the whole folder structure, you need to make a new folder called "Orcish" in your Architecture folder under Data/Meshes/Architecture, and paste the 3 .nif files into the new folder. Remember to activate the .esp.

For uninstallation; delete the 3 .nif files and the .esp.

Technical
Once discovered this player home utilizes the Purewater Run fast-travel point, which is located just up the small mountain stream. In order to accomodate easier home access for busy Dragonborns I turned it around 180 degrees to face downwards.

The exterior vanilla navmesh has been tweaked slightly to better fit the exterior modifications. It is finalized and should work technically, but since this is a small single bed player home I haven't remade a new exterior navmesh from scratch. If you do bring a follower and he or she behaves weirdly (aka tries to run through something for too long) just keep moving, or wait 1 hour.

Warning
In version 1.1 there's unfortunately 3 containers indoors that respawn; the Apothecary's Satchel on the Alchemy Table, the Knapsack in the hallway,
and the Strongbox on the Enchanting Table. This is fixed in the latest version, 1.2.
