No point in doing this if you don't have the Luxury Suite...or you really dislike the Homestead.

I don't know who does the property lines in or around Whiterun, but there's no excuse for building a generic cottage in my backyard. And with the advent of Anniversary Edition making that generic cottage free, which the Creation Club doesn't actually ask before downloading, installing, and activating these things (not that you'd know someone built a house in your garden ahead of time), I took it upon myself to offer the community an elegant solution.
Installation is easy, Vortex will put it in the right place ready to go, or you can manually extract it there:
Steam/steamapps/common/Skyrim Special Edition/Data
Then run hsteadfix from the folder outside of the game.
Now play Skyrim.
You will have to do this every time the game is updated, even if the update has nothing to do with actually playing the game.
There seems to be a trigger in Skyrim somewhere that can force you to reinstall all CC content regardless of what you want. When that happens, simply use hsteadfix again. I think the trigger has something to do with a new master file being present in the Data folder from other mods. Either way, it's not related to this mod or using it.
Uninstallation:
Manually delete hsteadfix from the Data folder (or don't, it won't do anything on its own), then load Creation Club ingame and Download All (installs and activates any missing CC content you have unlocked).
Vortex will also remove hsteadfix if you disable it there. Load Skyrim -> Creation Club -> Download All -> Play with the generic cottage intact.
