Apepi's Improved Arch-Mage Quarters

-----== *** ==-----
The vanilla Arch-Mage Quarters are a little bland. I've been sprucing mine up for ages.
Decided to rebuild and share a long used personal mod with the world for Skyrim SE. Welcome to Arch-Mage: Cribs Edition,
Where restoration spells are important.

-----==Requirements==----
-Skyrim SE
-Dragonborn
-Dawnguard

-----==Features==----
General:
-Wood chopping block added to the exterior
-Added some idle markers to increase flavor
-New unique rings to boost magical powers (require Master Perks)
-Added recipe for blank staves at any Staff Enchanter
-Added recipes for unechanted Thalmor and Psijic clothing
-Added recipes for unenchanted cloth hoods
-Added recipe for unenchanted Arch-Mage Boots
-Added recipes to uptrade soul gem types (Tied to Enchanter perk)
-Added blank staff recipe
-No Containers have been removed, plenty have been added
-Changed Unhooded Arch-Mage robes to use better hooded enchant
-All removed statics are disabled, not deleted
-Added Artwork and redecorated just about everything

Changes to Arch-Mage's Quarters:
-New layout!
-Added Staff Enchanter
-Added Smithy suite
-Added Storage
-More bookshelves
-Added Display for Dragon Priest Masks
-Added Divine shrines
-Unique crafting station for new recipes
-Added direct teleport spell book
-Both versions of Arch-Mage Robes in locked case, unlockable with Arch-Mage Key or picking

Changes to Arcaneum:
-Rearranged almost everything
-Made study nooks with decor for specific subjects
-Empty bookshelves to fill yourself
-Lofted sleeping space for Urag the librarian, moved most foods to this space
-Locked containers now tied to Arch-Mage Key (no key before), ownership tied to Arch-Mage
-Added some idle markers
-Tweaked lighting
-Illusion Master quest book moved to entrance

Changes to Halls of Countenance and Attainment:
-Rearranged many things
-Removed animal heads, standing candle holders and trashy clutter
-More personalized rooms with study spaces, less rampant alcoholism
-Study nooks
-Extra unowned beds
-Added Staff Enchanter and Mystical Fountain (Hall of Attainment)
-Basements with kitchen, dining, lavatory and storage spaces

-----==Issues==----
-Lefty-Rings don't appear in first person, seems to be a limitation of SkyrimSE. Other mods have this problem too.
-Clutter may remain in original position if rooms have been visited before.
-Using the "Writing Chair" may make the player freeze in 1st person. Draw/sheathe weapons to break the lock-up.
-The Unofficial Patch also alters Urag's sleep package. He might sleep in the dorms rather than his loft or switch between the two with USSEP installed.

-----==Incompatibilities==-----
-Qaxe's Questorium [http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/9480/?]- Adds some books and notes to a few rooms, they'll be in heaps on the floor mostly. Minor conflict overall.
-Cutting Room Floor [http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/276/?] - Moves/adds some Hall of Countenance furniture in an upstairs room. It's kind of weird, clips into things. The room becomes Orthorn's room.

-Anything that alters the College of Winterhold will have some conflicts. How much varies with changes by the other mod.
-Gear mods that use slot 58 will conflict with my rings (I'm open to using a different slot)
-Mods that alter the unhooded Arch-Mage Robes may conflict.


-----==Recommended==-----
Unlimited Bookshelves http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2885/?
To make full use of all the extra shelving, get your inner decorator on!


-----==Future Plans==-----
-Probably add recipes for little things that use junk items like like linen, burned books, etc
-Generally improve the decor all over. Make the college feel more magical and studious.
-Add some NPCs to flesh out the campus
-Tweak AI packages for better sandboxing with meals, practicing, etc.
