DESCRIPTION
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Have y'all ever found a spot while wandering through Skyrim and thought to yourself "Man, I really wish I could build a home at that place."? Well, at present you tin.

This mod adds the ability to construct a domicile where ever you lot see fit to practise and then. Giving you the power to adjust it's placement and rotation to get it just where you want information technology. So, you lot tin bring materials to a carpenter'south tabular array to construct piece of furniture for your new habitation. Then you can apply the Scrolls of Decoration to place and motility your new furniture anywhere in the house. All the nuts are currently available, with more than stuff on the manner. It's a time consuming, but very rewarding process to decorate your business firm the style you lot desire information technology. No more prefabs.

HOW TO Utilize
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
First things first, you need to visit Carl Zilla in his shack outside of Riverwood. His shack is on the hill about the bridge. He'll sell y'all the State Deed and Construction Rights for 2500 Septims (Utilise the "How'd you build your house up hither..." topic, non his merchant topic). He's too got a good option of article of furniture.

Once you lot've got your land deed and construction rights out of the way, y'all demand to find a overnice identify to build. Really, you lot can build anywhere. Yous could even be silly and build your dwelling house correct in some sap's living room if you want to (Not RECOMMENDED, evidently). One time you've got a nice spot picked out, use your human activity and structure rights to learn the "Commencement Construction" ability.

Utilize this power to place your house on the map. You'll demand to buy construction materials, so there volition be another expense based on the size of the habitation. The house will show up all awkward and crooked, probably partially beneath basis, and you'll most definitely need to manipulate it to become it to be useable. I approximate y'all should have honed your carpentry skills before manus, huh? No matter though, it's never too late to larn new skills...

After the home is on the map, 3 new powers evidence up in your magic menu. Construction: Move, Identify Door, and Construction: Place. I recommend double fisting both Construction: Move and Construction: Place that way you tin cast both quickly to go the firm situated properly. Cast Structure: Movement on the business firm and you'll go a menu request if you'd like to Move or Fine Tune the firm. Pick move to be able to move it effectually with your mouse. When you lot house is where y'all desire it, cast Construction: Place to let go of the house. You lot tin then bandage motility house once more to fine melody the placement. Dissimilar previous versions, you don't have to keep casting the spell to fine tune, it'll inquire you if you need to make anymore adjustments after iii seconds. Don't cast Construction:Place again before placing the door.

*** Note: Due to the nature of the mod, sometimes you tin can't get it 100% affluent with the ground in every corner...this is the nature of the beast, nil can exist done by me to make it 100% perfect. I usually try to build into a colina if y'all know what I hateful...***

Once you lot've got your house situated, you need to place your door. Once yous cast the place door spell, you'll receive two new spells: Move Door and Door End. I also recommend double fisting those as well. Placing a door works exactly like placing your house: Bandage Move Door on it to move it around with the mouse, so cast Door Finish on it to permit become. Once you're finished with Door Placement, bandage Door End on the door without having it in move style to end door placement. Then you can go alee and bandage End Construction on the house, it'll ask you to ostend everything and then remove the business firm and door manipulation spells from your magic carte du jour to keep it prissy and tidy.

In one case y'all confirm your decision, it'll and so ask you to select "Mark Home" from your magic list and cast information technology on the spot you wish to travel to when yous use the "Render Abode" power.

Congratulations, you've got yourself an empty home. At present you lot probably desire to decorate it. You practice this by creating a Carpenter'southward Demote at the forge, then using your placed carpenter's bench to build furniture, or by visiting Carl Zilla between the hours of 8am and 8pm. In one case you have the scrolls yous want, head back to your firm.

You'll want to stand on the place you want to place the piece of furniture, they will be placed where you are standing, non where you are looking/aiming. You'll then receive two more than spells: Decorate and End Decorate. You demand to cast the spell decorate on the object you wish to manipulate. The object movement works exactly the aforementioned every bit the business firm and door. Y'all cast Decorate on it to move information technology with the mouse; you bandage Finish Decorate to place it. Cast Decorate on information technology again to fine tune the placement. Once y'all're done decorating cast the "Cease Decorate" spell while not having any objects in "motility fashion" to remove the spells from your carte. Don't worry, they'll exist added again if you lot use another curl afterwards and don't have them.

There's a few things that require some skill levels to identify, most of these are the crafting items. Y'all won't even be able to create the scrolls until you are at the requisite levels. Most of them require level 60 in the skill they use...except for the tanning rack, which only requires level xxx.

BASEMENT
=-=-=-=-=-=
The basement is static to all the homes except for the Orc Longhouse (which has a separate basement). It was created to exist this mode then I could discover a mode to include weapon racks/plaques, mannequins, and bookshelves. The basement has a decent size storage area, and two doors that pb to your library and your armory.

FARMING
=-=-=-=-=
You tin can now plant the following plants: Apple Tress, Potato Plants, Leeks, Carrots, Cabbages, and Wheat. You lot can also identify fences to fence in your house or farming area.

To establish you must take a shovel in your inventory, and you must exist exterior. In that location's no IsOnDirt bank check, and so planting in caves is not an option. If you lot stuck your house in a cavern, you won't be able to farm in that location.

You can besides decide to continue animals. Cows, chickens and goats are all available to keep. You tin can sheer the caprine animal's wool, milk cows and goats, and take chicken eggs once a week from each animal that you own. The goat'due south wool is a great manner to make processed cotton (yes, I know, wool isn't cotton...) for your Beds.

CLUTTER Banana
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The clutter assistant spell tin can be used to lock grabbed items into place. This is useful for hanging things on the walls, or for keeping things from going flying when y'all bump into them. Because the game however doesn't register positions correctly, it does Not fix the issues where things movement to capricious positions upon the cell load, but once an object has registered it's position, this will keep information technology from moving.

THINGS THIS MOD CAN NOT CURRENTLY Practise
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Unless Bethedsa or SKSE makes an update that allows linking of references on the fly, I will NEVER be able to include placeable activators like the weapon racks, bookshelves, etc. They require linked references and as far as I tin can tell, information technology is currently impossible to create linked references on the wing.

KNOWN ISSUES
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
If you don't accept a house congenital, and Carl Zilla doesn't have a "How'd you get your house up here..." topic, you have the dialog/quest bug. This is not a problems in my modernistic, but a known effect caused by the terminal patch. Lookout this video for a fix:
