This mod is a basement.

An awesome basement that links to 25 different player homes and guild halls, such as Gerdur and Hod's Home in Riverwood, Jorrvaskr, Bard's College and Sovngarde's Hall of Valor.

The My Leaky Basement (MLB) system is a crafters dream.  The ergonomic layout of crafting stations and labeled storage is the result of years of play testing.   I have never played a Skyrim game without using My Leaky Basement.  Seriously, I bought the game, played 10 hours, and decided I needed a basement to link my homes. 

The original MLB version had 5 doors and no scripts or ceiling. 

Recently I learned how to script, and finally decided on a ceiling.  So now, I wish to share My Leaky Basement with those who are in need of an awesome basement that will meet almost all of your crafting needs.


The MLB offers an optional Insta-Travel network (enter the basement from one location and exit to another).  One of my favorite weekly in game events is the Burning of King Olaf.  Thanks to the Insta-Travel I can make that event each week without fail.  I always have the event on Loredas, which makes it easier to remember.

I know some view teleportation as a cheat, so it is disabled by default. On default settings, you enter and exit the basement through the same door. 

However, I recently added some override buttons in the basement, that make activating the Insta-Travel very easy.  The MCM allows you total control over which doors to have In Skyrim and to have On Network

Plus for the anti-fast travel folks, while there is a Spell Tome : Apparition (My Leaky Basement), it is expertly hidden under a meat pie on the basement bed for those who wish to ignore it.  Out of sight is out of mind.  This spell is based upon the  the Take me home Apparition - Lair of the Succubi uploaded by Istariyang.  They made the script available for all to use, and for this I give a heartfelt thank you!

The My Leaky Basement mod is Marked as a Light esp plugin and therefore does not take up a full load order slot. 

Specifics:

MLB Features:

• Plenty of Storage
• Convenient entry doors
• Crafting stations (ergonomically placed)
• Mannequins
• Optional Insta-Travel feature.  This is off by default.
• Convenient Override Buttons (used to activate Insta-Travel)
• A comfy bed
  

This basement's original main purpose was to make crafting as efficient as possible.

There is a little lore included (read the MCM, the two books found on the bed).

Default Settings:

• All MLB doors are 'In Skyrim'
• All MLB doors start as Unknown to you, so you have to find them and use them for them to become 'Known'.
• All MLB doors are NOT 'On Network', meaning the Insta-Travel is disabled.  You have to turn this on for each door.  The MCM can be used, or the convenient Override All - Is On Network button in the basement.
  

Three Main Override Buttons in MLB:

• Override All - Is In Skyrim
• Override All - Is Known
• Override All - Is On Network
  

The Override Buttons do not change the actual values.

A Fourth Override Toggles the Splash Effect on all the entry doors into the basement.

Insta-Travel is like fast travel with no passage of time.  It is instant.  Insta-Travel is enabled when:

• At least two MLB doors are 'Known" and  'On Network'
• One of those doors is the Current Active Door (the door through which the basement was entered)
  

Teleportation Triggered Time Travel (T4) can be an issue when one teleports to a location before they are supposed to be there.  So use caution.

I use the following prefix on all objects and variables: dw01

Compatibility
Mods that drastically change homes or guild halls may result in a door in an awkward spot.

I can create a patch to move a door in a home to better spot.  Just ask and tell me where to move the door.

I use without issue:

• Obscure's College of Winterhold
• Riften Honeyside Big Child Bedroom And Enchanting Lab
• Markarth Vlindrel Hall Basement And Big Child Bedroom
  

Requirements:

• Skyrim
• Dawnguard.esm
• HearthFires.esm
• Dragonborn.esm
  

Pre Updating:
You should be able to replace the current files when updating without any issue.  However, to be safe, please do the following:
1)  Before updating, move outside of the basement and save your game.  This is where we will want to Resume playing.
2)  Enter basement, empty all containers, exit basement and save your game.  This is a our emergency back up.
3)  Install mod.
4)  Load your Resume Playing save.  Enter the basement and verify all your stuff is still in your storage containers.  If yes, then you are all set.
5)  If your containers are empty, exit the game.  Load your emergency backup.  Refill your basement storage containers.  

Updates:
Version 3.003

• Removes Wild Edits
• Removes Manakin Race edit.  AE has addressed the mannequin issue.  For those of us who use Skyrim SE (1.5.97), I recommend Mannequin Script Fix by LostForrest 
• Adds Sky Haven Temple - The Blades HQ
• Adds Alva's House - Morthal.  I recommend using Morthal House which will make the Alva's house yours after completing the quest.
• Repositions the doors in the basement to better represent their locations in Skyrim
• Requires a clean game save!  If you are running a previous version, I would not update until you start a new game.
  

 
Version 3.002

• Adds Alteration Spell: Apparition (My Leaky Basement).  This is a smart Mark/Recall teleportation spell.  Casting of the spell outside of the My Leaky Basement marks your location and then teleports you into the basement.  Casting the spell inside the basement will return you to your last set mark location.  This is the My Leaky Basement version of the Take me home Apparition - Lair of the Succubi uploaded by Istariyang.  They made the script available for all to use, and for this I give a heartfelt thank you!
• Safe to install mid play through over version 3.001.  I used MO2 and chose: replace.
  

Version 3.001

• Adds for SE users the AE Mannequin fix.  After install, add at least one item to each mannequin and it should reduce their movement to a micro level.  
• Moves Dawnstar Santuary Door to a better spot
• Minor Landscaping in the basement
  

Version 1.002 

• Fixes typos
• Corrects initial state of three doors
