ABOUT:
This minor integration mod gives Embry, a character with no home previously, a new shack in Riverwood. It is based on the TINIEST SHACK mod by Elianora, which this mod requires to function.

REQUIREMENTS:
Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch by the Unofficial Patch Project Team
THE TINIEST SHACK by Elianora. You need both the plugin and the assets from that mod to use this patch.

COMPATIBILITY:
- There is a patch for JK's Skyrim available in the download section which ensures landscape/navmeshing compatibility.
- There is also a patch for AI Overhaul SE which forwards the new packages onto Embry. Needs more testing but should work.
- Immersive Citizens compatibility is unknown. I don't use it anymore, but if it touches Embry, it would need a patch.
- Likely not compatible with other Riverwood Overhauls, especially ETaC Riverwood, since that mod already provides Embry with a house.
- Mods that change Embry's appearance will need a patch, such as Northbourne NPCs of Whiterun Hold. I will try to create patches by request, though they are quite easy to make in xEdit yourself.

FEATURES/TWEAKS:
- Shifts ownership of the player home to Embry, who will sleep there between midnight and 7am (via an edited Vanilla package)
- Gives Embry the key to his new shack so he can actually get inside, and also adds him to a new locklist.
- Disables edits to Helgen Keep which was used to obtain the home previously.
- Resolved some of the weird landscape seams from the original plugin. Also corrects a floating tree.
- Revamps the interior decor of the shack to seem like Embry actually lives there. (Yes, there are lots of mead bottles and wine)
- Adds some clutter outside. In a future update, I will probably disable the planters, since it makes no sense for them to be usable anyway.
- Two new, lore-friendly notes (addressed to Embry) by other Riverwood NPCs to enhance the feeling of immersion. See for yourself!
- Forwarded changes from USSEP.

FUTURE PLANS:
Integrate more mod-added locations or player homes to NPCs who don't have a place to stay. I love making mods like this since it brings various parts of the community together :)

If you have any suggestions for NPCs who are homeless (or could use a new place to stay) let me know and I will see about creating it.

INSTALLATION:
Download with Mod Organizer 2 (or Vortex). It is only an ESP-FE plugin patch.
No support will be given for other mod managers, especially the long-outdated NMM, since I no longer use it. (And you shouldn't either)

UNINSTALLATION
Simply delete/disable Eli_TinyStarter.esp (and the JK's Skyrim patch if you installed it).
Uninstalling mods mid-playthough is never a good idea and is a quick way to break your save or cause CTDs.
