Version 0.10.1
- HOTFIX VERSION CHANGES
Forgot to upload the new display's script with the update. This Hotfix includes that missing script.
- HOTFIX VERSION CHANGES
-
Version 0.10.0
- MINOR VERSION CHANGES
!!!WARNING!!! !!!WARNING!!! !!!WARNING!!! !!!WARNING!!! !!!WARNING!!! !!!WARNING!!!
Before updating to this version, remove the following or risk losing your items:
- any items stored in the chests, racks, and displays in the area outside the library.
- any items stored in the chests on the desk in the Housecarl/Kids room.
- any items stored in the chest next to enchanting station.
- any items stored in the chest next to alchemy station.
- any items stored in the large chest in the foyer.
- any items stored in the cupboard in the Study.
- any items stored in the chest at the blacksmith station.
General ===================================================
Added a simplistic auto-sorting storage system. It comes with several custom storage containers placed throughout the house. Some are new custom containers, while others were existing decorative clutter that was repurposed as a container for the system. The following containers have been added:
- Alchemy Storage (Study)
- Armor Storage (Library Foyer/Barracks)
- Clothing Storage (Bedroom)
- Firewood Storage (Kitchen)
- Food Storage (Kitchen)
- Food Storage - Raw (Kitchen)
- Jewelry Storage (Bedroom)
- Key Storage (Housecarl/Kids)
- Miscellaneous Storage (Study)
- Potion Storage (Study)
- Scroll Storage (Study)
- Smithing Storage (Exterior at Blacksmith station)
- Soul Gem Storage (Study)
- Weapon Storage (Library Foyer/Barracks)
The Master Sorting Chest, is found in the main foyer, to the right as you enter the manor. All users need to do is dump their items into the chest. The scripts will activate and systematically sort the items to the above storages. The script is a bit broad by using item types (Forms) and keywords, which means mod-added item will also sort, assuming they fit within the correct form or aren't missing vanilla keywords.
Other General Changes =====================================
- Added names to the interior doors.
- Fixed and optimized collision over the bookcases to prevent book duplication.
- Fixed a gap in the wall on the right side of common area above the stairs.
- Fixed some havok issues with several clutter issues around the manor.
- Fixed the curtains in the main foyer from clipping into the wall.
- Fixed not being able to activate a couple of the bookcases.
- Removed a duplicated wall piece to the left of the upstairs foyer door.
- Removed the chandelier from the pool entrance doors.
Library Foyer =============================================
This area has been redesigned to be a grand foyer leading into to library. The goal was to create an entryway that fits better with the redesigned manor. The left side is meant for weapon displays and the right side for armor. The new chests are located here that your weapons and armor will sort into. Finally, the practice dummies were replaced with custom displays. These displays will activate automatically via a small script. The script will check for an update upon entering the manor and will activate the displays when specific quests have been completed. More will be added to this area in future updates.
Study =====================================================
I've done some more updating in this room due to the new storage system. The Alchemy storage is found here, as well as, the Potion, Soul Gem and Scroll storages. I've cleaned up some of the clutter around the space, fixed some havok issues, cleaned up and expanded the miniature "Blackreach garden", and shrunk down the cabinets in the back.
Exterior ==================================================
- Changed map marker to the town marker to match that of Hearthfire DLC.
- Adjusted the position of the blacksmith station, smithing storage, and tanning rack.
- Added a collision pane to the top of the waterfall pool so you won't get swept away.
- Added a new fishery to the waterfall pool at the side of the house.
- Fixed fast travel issue to the two map markers.
- Fixed the bench height located at the treed.
- Fixed floating hay pile and nest.
- Removed the extra anvil from the blacksmith station.
- Removed and/or softened the outdoor water sounds.
- Updated the waterfall design to help incorporate the fishery.
Scripts ===================================================
A new script, DCM_AutoSortContainer, has been created to support the auto-sorting system. The script is attached to the new master sorting container and systematically sorts items once the container is closed. As I mentioned, it's currently a simplistic, barebones system so some items may be sorted oddly when they have multiple keywords. I will likely refine the sorting later, but this is a good start.
DCM_Display_QuestCompleted has been created to support the custom displays. This is the script that run when you enter the manor to check whether the related quest has been completed since the last time you visited. Once the quest is complete, the script will activate the display objects.
DCM_DisplayMessage, has been created to support the custom plaques. This script is attached to the plaques and displays a message box on activation.

Version 0.9.0
- MINOR VERSION CHANGES
!!!WARNING!!! !!!WARNING!!! !!!WARNING!!! !!!WARNING!!! !!!WARNING!!! !!!WARNING!!!
Before updating to this version, remove the following or risk losing your items:
- all armor and items stored in the cave
- any items stored in the chests in the master bedroom foyer
- any items stored in the chest in the library
- any books stored in the bookcases in the library

General ===================================================
This is a significant update as it includes several more of my planned additions and redesigns in order to make this a successful player home. Most of the aspects of the redesign can be read below. However, one of these is the addition of two new worldspaces. One for the tunnel and cave and one for the pool. All of the assets for these rooms have been moved to their new worldsapces. This was done to help optimize the mod, however, it also allows me to have a better design for the entire mod. This is a common practice for large interiors.
I've also tested Multiple Adoptions and confirmed Bless Home to be working.
Assets ====================================================
- I've used assets from Elianora's Extra Resources, by Elianora.
- I've used assets from Liam's Clutter Resource SE, by Liam/LWatson95.
- I've used assets from Obscure's Modding Resources, by SomethingObscure.
- I used Modders Resource-Weapon Racks-Bookshelves-Plaques-Mannequins, by Eldiabs, to save some time.
I have also added many of my own custom meshes. Theses are vanilla meshes from various interior sets and other objects in the game. I've altered these meshes to use different textures; making them match up with what I needed them to match.
Lighting ==================================================
- Assigned proper emittance to all of the bounce lights to reflect the exterior lighting conditions.
- Assigned proper emittance to all of the lighting effects (dust beams) to reflect the exterior lighting conditions.
- The two new worldspaces have been given the cave lighting template to reflect their dark environments.
Exterior ==================================================
- Straighten the stairs to at manor entrance.
- Switched out the stables with a matching asset.
- Switched out the mismatched stairs that led to the manor from the mountain path.
- Switched out the windmill structure with a working windmill that works as a grind mill.
- Added a couple chickens, chicken nests, and a feeding marker to the stables.
- Altered landscape around the entrance where the stairs were switched out to provide a better path.
- Painted dirt path texture on the landscape that was altered.
- Removed cave entrance.
Children & Housecarl Quarters =============================
In order to expand support for more children, the old library has been redesigned to use as rooms for children and a housecarl. The housecarl quarters are on the main floor in the room and the children's beds are upstairs.
- Supports for up to 4 children.
Follower's Quarters =======================================
One part of this large update is new quarters for followers! Their quarters are built into the mountain and the entrance is found within the main bedroom foyer. This was the best location I could find to place the entrance. Though it's built into the mountain and, thus, has stone walls, I kept the rest of the theme the same; wood floors, noble furniture, plenty of idle points for the followers, etc.
- Supports up to 5 followers.
Kitchen ===================================================
The kitchen, to Ramsey's satisfaction, also received a redesign. I used high stone walls, since this is in the basement, and provided lots of upgrades! Overall, the kitchen is larger with two new ovens to cook breads, wash bowls to keep clean, the water barrel now has water in it, a station to chop wood for the fires, and more clutter all around. Ramsey's quarters also got a small upgrade. Finally, I've updated Ramsey's AI package a bit so he uses all the idles and wonders around the manor during his downtime.
Library ===================================================
The library has been relocated to the area around the hanging dragon skeleton. For the redesign of this area, I switched out the floor, widened both sides and removed the walkway at the back. New noble bookshelves where added along the walls as well as and new idles and seating.
Main Bedroom ===================================================
- Redesigned the foyer to support the new follower's quarters. Still need to clutter this up a bit.
- Added navmesh to the bath.
Main Foyer ================================================
- Removed hanging lanterns and small braziers.
- Lowered candlehorns by door down to a reasonable height.
- Replaced curtains at both sides of door with red ones to match the theme of the manor.
Pool ======================================================
- Added more idles.
- Added a couple seats at the water's edge.
- Updated navmesh and marked the water as such.
Sanctuary =================================================
The sanctuary, previously the cave, has been redesigned using Snow Elf assets to rid the space of Dwemer aesthetics. Players will now find a hidden sanctuary who's mysteries have yet to be revealed. The armory is gone, however, it will return in a future update.
Study =====================================================
- Added more random items to the alchemy chest (locked by default).
- Redesigned back wall to accommodate the relocation of tunnel assets.
- Switched out most of the shelves with noble versions.
- New required keys are in this room. ^_^
Tunnel ====================================================
- Relocated tunnel assets to new worldspace.
- Redesigned tunnel with proper assets and gridding for a seamless design.
- MINOR VERSION CHANGES
-
Version 0.8.0
- v0.8.0 - MINOR CHANGELOG
- General ============================================
- - Removed a multitude of objects throughout the interior, which were either hidden behind walls or no longer required due to redesigns.
- Bedroom ============================================
- - Fixed the firewood and embers clipping in the fireplace.
- Kitchen ============================================
- - Added custom Open Book to Rasmey's desk.
- - Fixed gap in ceiling.
- Library ============================================
- - Centered the bookshelves and lectern under the window.
- - Added custom Open Book to lectern and some clutter.
- - Fixed the issue with the room bounds and portal causing a "flash" when moving through the bounds.
- Pool ============================================
- - Moved all pool assets away from other assets in the CK. This allows for better optimization.
- - Added several benches and chairs for seating around the fire.
- - Added a couple hand warming idles.
- - Added some clutter.
- - Completely new and optimized navmesh so NPCs can at least get around the new layout.
- Study ============================================
- - Added custom Open Book to desk lectern.
- - Added custom Open Book to alchemy area.
- - Added custom Open Book to enchanting area.
- - Fixed alchemy bench overlap.
- - Raised the ceiling slightly to fix clipping with tunnel ceiling.
- Tunnel ============================================
- Most of the work for this release was centered around fixing the tunnel from the study to the dwemer ruins in the cave. The entire tunnel has been re-imagined and redesigned. Originally, this work started by fixing a small gap I noticed, however, this led me to discover just how pieced together the tunnel really was. There were mismatched pieces from the imperial construction set creating seams on the floors (and walls, but those were hidden). The walls were a "fake wall" that was pieced together, which also created a distracting pattern. Finally, mismatched construction set pieces were used that had to be "patched" together; meaning even more objects were placed to hide all the various gaps and seams. The design lacked consistent flow with the rest of the manor, thus breaking with the overall themes. Therefore...I gutted it!
- The redesign focused on maintaining the Whiterun and Dwemer inspired themes. Thus, the tunnel is mainly of Whiterun inspiration; only seeing the Dwemer theme at the end. The tunnel exit into the cave was stripped away too since it was using nordic assets. It has been updated to match the Dwemer theme of the cave. This resulted in a design that is more consistent with the rest of the cave and manor. My assumption was if the builders had the resources to build such a Manor, then they also had the means to finish out the tunnel to match the architecture.
- TL;DR
- - Redesigned tunnel to match the Whiterun inspired theme of the manor.
- - Redesigned cave entrance from tunnel to match the Dwemer inspired theme of the rest of the cave.

Version 0.2.0
- ===== Interior =====
> Lighting Updated
I've updated the lighting for the entire interior. In the cases where light sources are removed, it was because they were used for clutter and not producing any actual light.

Version 0.1.0
- ===== General Cleanup =====
> Converted in CK
> Cleaned with SSEEdit
> Manually removed a ton of dirty edits
> Manually fixed a few wild edits
> Forwarded latest unofficial patch records
===== Fixes included in Initial Release - Exterior =====
> Worked on the navmeshes a bit
> Added a few rocks and rock piles to better fill gaps
> Moved the stables so the wall isn't poking through the tower
> Rotated water circle so the water flowed in the correct direction.
> Corrected the entire courtyard alignment
The tiling for the courtyard floor being misaligned was really drawing my eye and I had noticed some gaps between the wall pieces so went into the CK to fix these small things. I quickly found out the entire courtyard was slightly misaligned...so this fix ended up being a realignment for the entire courtyard (walls, floors, posts, statues, stairs, structures, etc). Basically, everything outside has shifted just a bit but is now aligned far better.
> Updated exterior lighting
"Fake" lighting draws my attention too much and I start asking where the light is coming from so the lighting had to be corrected. I kept the main intent and "fantasy" feel, but have updated just about everything else regarding the lighting to the exterior. I used Relighting Skyrim standards when making all the changes so the lighting levels will be similar to that mod:
- All lights have had their Fades reduced.
- All lights have be placed at their light sources.
- All bulbs replaced to align with their sources (candle bulb to candle source, etc).
- Several lights removed that were only creating "fake" ambient light and causing light flicking.
- Added candlehorn to the tower interior as the "light source" for the lighting in there.
- Moved the glow around the tree higher and into the tree to make the tree seem as if it's emitting the glow
> Updated smithing area
Updating the lighting and fixing the lights turning on and off warranted a bit of a redesign to the smithing area. It's not all that different. I simply added a wall and moved some things around. This was to both hide some seams and allow the area to lit better at night. In doing this I:
- Moved the stations a bit
- Moved the handing brazier to be over the area
- Added a brazier to the corner of the platform
- Replaced the Skyforge asset with a duplicate asset so I could rename the forge. It no longer says "use Skyforge".

DRAGON CLIFF MANOR SE
Welcome home...
Welcome home...
DESCRIPTION
First, this is not originally my mod. It's a port of the mod for Skyrim found here (see credits below): http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/39018/?
Dragon Cliff Manor is a player home mod built near the base of the Throat of the World mountain; a location that, hopefully, stayed true to Bethesda's original design strategy of an epic world. Although the manor uses a very familiar Whiterun theme, the layout is unique, large, and open. Probably the easiest way to get to the house is to start at Hillgrund's Tomb and go Southeast up the mountain face. Users should encounter a log bridged over a waterfall and a small winding path. Look up to see the house. Users can also get to the house from Ivarstead. Map markers are included once discovered.
My (TechAngel85) goal is to clean up the mod while fixing issues and expanding upon the original author's work until a proper player home is created. Once I feel that goal has been (mostly) reached, then I will release Dragon Cliff Manor as v1.0. Until that time, users should expect the mod to be changing and updating. This means I won't guarantee that it will continue to work on saved games when updating. So, if you don't want to take that risk, I would suggest tracking the mod and wait for the v1.0 release.
Features:
- Crafting Stations: alchemy, baking, cooking, blacksmith, enchanting, fishery, grinding mill, smelting, tanning, wood chopping
- A basic auto-sort system with 14 custom storages located throughout the manor
- Armor mannequins
- Several weapon racks
- A few weapon plaques spread around
- Community pool
- Library with a view and custom displays
- Master Bedroom with a pool and balcony
- Teleport orbs and ladders to get around faster
- A chef NPC (just for fun)
- Support for up to 5 followers
- Support for up to 4 children
- Spare bed for Housecarl
- Hidden Snow Elf Sanctuary with magical alchemy garden
- Fully NAVMESH'ed for everyone to get around
Auto-Sorting
The manor has a simplistic auto-sorting storage system. Custom storage containers are placed throughout the house to support the system. Some are new custom containers, while others were existing decorative clutter that was repurposed as a container for the system. The following containers are available:
- Storage name | location | what is stored
- Alchemy | Study | ingredients

The Master Sorting Chest, is found in the main foyer, to the right as you enter the manor. All users need to do is dump their items into the chest. The system will activate once items are placed in the chest. Then it will pause until the chest is closed to allow users to remove accidental moves. Once the chest is closed, the script will systematically sort the items to the above storage containers. The sorting is a bit broad due to using item types (Forms) and keywords. However, this means mod-added item will sort, assuming they have the correct form and/or vanilla keywords.
