SHORT DESCRIPTION
+++++++++++++++++++++++++

Located right outside the lovely Rorikstead, The Reserve is a new player home built from scratch and meticulously designed for convenience and extravagant living. Featuring three main wings all branching from the center, it could not be more simple to navigate, and still provides all the essentials and more. Each wing uses different textures chosen carefully to compliment the rooms purpose.

If the new apple spawner is not working, you may be missing the script file, which can be downloaded right in the files section, and placed in your Data > Scripts folder.

SPOUSES: Please use this mod with The Reserve to have your spouse live with you.

Too many mannequins: If you do NOT want them, console-disable them. Walk up to the mannequin you want to remove, press ~ then click on the mannequin, type 'disable' (no quotes), hit enter, and press ~ again to close console. Its super easy, and will get rid of the ones you do not want. :>

** IF YOU REMOVE THE HOUSE, YOU REMOVE THE ITEMS INSIDE. **
It is good practice to make a real save game (not a quick save), at least every few days and back these up in case something goes wrong.

I plan on adding many new features and areas to explore, not to mention other projects completely. Please visit http://8bitdino.com for more information!

DESCRIPTION:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++

The Main Hall is the entrance, and also acts as the hub to get to each wing of the home. The high ceilings and windows to the outside sky were designed to feel open and refreshing. Depending on the time of day, the room is lit with warm sunshine, or soft blue moonlight. The Den is a furnished and warmly-lit bedroom with ample storage. The Forge is complete with all the tools an Adventurer needs. Everything is close at hand for quick and efficient crafting. The Atrium is a grand circular library with a small garden and Alchemy/Enchanting tables. The basement has displays and storage for all your collections. Also a kitchen/bar, dining room, and small personal archery range.

I recommend the use of the mods: "Skyrim Flora Overhaul", "HD Furniture and Barrels" with The Reserve, as they enhance the graphics of objects within the home.

If you find any bugs or graphical issues, Please bring them to my attention so they can be fixed. :) If you are interested in finding more information regarding this mod and future projects, please visit http://8bitdino.com. Thank you!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++
KNOWN BUGS:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++

. The pond outside sometimes looks like it is floating, this is caused by a land model piece not loading. Restarting the game loads the piece, though I still do not know why this happens yet.
. Using the weapon racks in the basement sometimes cuases parts of the basement to look invisible upon re-entry. Restarting the game fixes this every time.
. May not work with other mods that change the landscape in or around Rorikstead
. Animating or moved mannequins: Try exiting the house and re-entering. This has fixed it for me every time. (CK issue, NOT A MOD ISSUE.)
. Weapon racks sometimes get stuck. More often the activator just gets bumped to the left or right, try hovering your mouse off to the sides to get the dialog. (Working on this, for now console-respawn your weapon.)
