That's where I've been the past two nights is conjuring up my Mage's tower. I still have some interior decorating I want to do yet, and I haven't figured out how to make a working bookshelf yet. Otherwise it's good to go.
This mod will provide CyberMage's Tower just east and across the river from WhiteRun. It will add a fast-travel location to your map. Since I'm a fan of fast travel, from inside the tower (except the basement) you can fast-travel to other map locations despite being indoors.
Inside the tower is a forge, workbench, grinder, tanner, enchanter, alchemy workbench and shrine. Mostly for convenience. Also are 9 weapon racks, three mannequins and several chests and sacks. All containers (except two upstairs, see the journal on the upstairs table) are flagged to NOT respawn items, so it's safe to store items in them.
There are two "game-changer" things about it you should know. If you don't want to "cheat" then don't use them. In the upstairs bedroom are two respawning sacks filled with ingredients for a restore+fortify health. Also upstairs is a drastically overpowered dagger on the weapon rack.

From the empty wine bottles in the basement you can tell that Messiah has been there. And Stinky really shouldn't go in the basement. It's dangerous for him. ;-) And Blake gets three large noble style bookcases for his book collection.
And for the record I know about the graphics glitch on the outside right of the tower not blending into the mountain. I'll be fixing that soon.
ReplyDeleteYou beat me to it. But I've discovered someone else beat both of us to it.
ReplyDeleteSomeone we know, or just someone? And between the two of us I had an advantage - I did significant house building in Oblivion and the toolkit is almost identical. My learning curve was much less steep than yours no doubt.
ReplyDeleteI haven't even started yet, beyond reading a few tutorials.
ReplyDeleteSomeone made almost the exact same house you made -- the exterior at least -- and stuck it in a different spot.
Two things: the mannequins disappear, and it lags my game to shit when I leave the tower.
ReplyDeleteOther than that, nice work.
Awesome!
ReplyDeleteThe lagging may be related to me putting the tower smack dab on a cell boundry. Might also explain why the tower occasionally disappears. Hey that gives me an idea... related to Krull. lol.
ReplyDeleteThe Mannequins might be related to the size of the room they are in, or the fact that I put three in a room that large. It's never happened to me though.
